Radiotelevisión Ceuta (RTVCE), the municipal media company of Ceuta, has upgraded its communication infrastructure by integrating AEQ’s Xplorer MAX wireless intercom system.
The broadcaster, founded in 2000, currently operates public television and radio (99.0 FM) with a staff of around 30 professionals.
Technology Overview
The AEQ Xplorer MAX beltpack uses advanced digital radio technology and includes multiple programmable keys, a multifunction display, and compatibility with AEQ’s intercom matrices, including Conexia, Crossnet, and TH5000. It can also work with Xpeak or Easynet systems.
The system supports up to 20 transceivers per antenna, reaching 700 meters in open areas, and allows linking up to four antennas for expanded coverage.
