Overview

The Wireless Conference Access Point is the heart of the Wireless Confidea® system. It is the central control unit and wireless transceiver that links all the Confidea wireless chairman/delegate units together, and can operate on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency ranges. The access point provides three (3) antennas, two (2) transceiver antennas for diversity connection to the control surfaces and a single antenna to scan the band and identify potential interference sources. The access point automatically selects and adjusts the operational frequency for the least interference of competing RF signals. The effective range of use for wireless conference units with a single WCAP+ is 100 ft. (30 m). Additional WCAP+ units can be added through the use of a Central Control Unit to increase the wireless coverage area.
 
The WCAP+ can manage up to 1024 chairman/delegate units with a total of 8 open microphones. Data exchanged between the conference units and the WCAP+ is digitally encrypted providing a secure communication system.  A Confidea Central Unit must be linked to the WCAP+ in order to support up to 16 channels of simultaneous interpretation and language channels in the system. Using a built in browser, set up application settings such as operating modes (push to talk, with request, FIFO, etc.), microphone level, battery status, and operational frequency are accessible for viewing and modification. Connection for this set up function is made via a standard Ethernet port. For connection to external audio equipment such as a video conference or room PA systems, the WCAP has balanced audio connections for both an input and output.
 
Basic discussion and voting applications are supported by the WCAP+; however expanded capabilities are provided through the use of the optional stand alone software. This software is a Windows based application that provides additional control of the Delegates, Microphones, and Voting functionality.

    • FAQ

    Do I need a separate Central Control Unit to run a conference? 
    No, the WCAP+ will operate as both the wireless access point and the standalone control unit. A wired control unit is only required when language interpretations is needed, and/or expansion of the system by linking additional WCAP+ together to extend the wireless coverage area.
     
    Do I need software to use the voting feature? 
    No, the Confidea WC-CIV, WC-CV, WC-DIV and WC-DV provide for voting functions. The chairman units have the ability to start/stop voting, and cast a vote while the delegate units can only cast a vote once a vote is started by a chairman unit. The results will then be automatically displayed on the on each of the conference units as the vote is in progress and after it has been stopped.
     
    How many wireless units can be connected to the WCAP+? 
    The total number of units that can be connected is 1024; however the distance from the WACP+ for connectivity is limited to 98.4 ft. (30 m). Contact Listen Technical Support for more information.
     
    Can the Wireless system be connected to a wired system?  
    Yes, the Confidea wireless system can be directly linked to a Confidea wired system via a RJ45 connection from the WCAP+ to the Confidea CU.
     
    Can manually set the operational frequency on the WCAP+?
    Yes, you can manually set the operational frequency you want the WCAP to operate on; however the automatic frequency hopping function will be disabled. You will need to manually change the operational frequency if any interference is noticed on the system.
     
    Does the system have a wireless interpretation unit?
    No. To provide interpretation services the system must connect to a Confidea CU and have a wired ID2500 interpreter’s control unit attached to the Central Unit.
