Latin America. Comrex launched FieldTap, a new phone app for remote streaming, which uses SIP so users can stream audio at the touch of a button.
Ideal for reporters and collaborators of street teams for short drop-ins, FieldTap features a very simple user interface. With a one-button control screen, users of any technical skill can connect from the field to the station by simply pressing a single button. FieldTap is a simple SIP client that uses Voice over IP (VoIP) to enable field users to send broadband audio from their cell phones over cellular networks and Wi-Fi.
FieldTap is compatible with all Comrex IP audio codecs. It can also be used in conjunction with EarShot IFB, a new Comrex IFB VoIP system that replaces POTS lines and automatic couplers.
EarShot IFB is perfect for live ENG applications: it provides 4 audio streams and can support up to 10 broadband calls (or 30 regular calls). With FieldTap, callers to EarShot IFB can receive high-quality audio, rather than standard cell phone audio.
FieldTap will be available as a free download from Google Play and iTunes this spring.
