CHAPTER 2
Introduction
General Description
The RTS ROAMEO system is an integrated digital wireless communications system consisting of beltpacks (TR-1800) and
access points (AP-1800) communicating over DECT
technology, the Dante-based platform for high-quality audio over IP.
DECT is a license-free standard, currently accepted in more than 80 countries worldwide.
1
. Communication between access points and the Matrix uses OMNEO
A large continuous radio coverage area can be created easily by strategic placement of access points. Beltpack users can roam
freely within the coverage area without worry of losing communication.
ROAMEO uses a standard IP infrastructure as a backbone, RTS recommends the exclusive use of managed switches through
the IP network.
Each TR-1800 ROAMEO beltpack is fully addressable and is conveniently programmed using the same software used in RTS
wired keypanels.
Features
• Provides reliable, low latency communications between beltpacks and Matrix.
• Provides roaming ability between access point locations with seamless communication.
• User-selectable CODEC to allow the best audio quality or narrowband audio quality with double the
number of users.
• Uses DECT for RF path, a globally-accepted, license-free standard.
• Ethernet backbone communications can be routed over existing LAN or WAN.
• The beltpack provides a USB port for software upgrades and the download of custom front display
graphics on boot.
• Easy battery removal for bulk charging in a 4-bay battery charger or in-device charging.
• Large color screen with easily recognizable icons for easy configuration and setup, and a smaller call
waiting window located on top of the unit.
Designed with four (4) independent talk/listen keys for full-duplex communications, CWW (Call
•
Waiting Window) functionality and one (1) XLR connector and one (1) 3.5mm connector for headset
connections.
• Site Survey feature facilitates initial placement of access points for optimal performance.

ETSI Defined RF Channels for DECT
DECT systems automatically select the best interference-free frequencies on which to operate. Users do not need to do any
frequency coordination. The ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) Channel Plan (Table 1) shows the
European and North American RF carrier pools the DECT systems use.
There are 10 frequencies in Europe and five frequencies in North America.

CHAPTER 3
System Overview
System Description
A ROAMEO wireless intercom system consists of two types of devices: a wireless beltpack (TR-1800) and an access point
(AP-1800).
The ROAMEO system can be configured for anything from small systems (one access point and a few beltpacks) to a large
system (10 access points and up to 40 beltpacks). The ROAMEO system provides quality, configurable wireless audio across
the coverage area and is easily expandable.
The typical indoor coverage area varies widely depending on the installation area. The typical range of an access point is
between 50–100 meters.
System Considerations
• Number of access points required for coverage area.
• Sufficient access point coverage overlap to allow seamless roaming for beltpacks.
• The number of access points to provide sufficient capacity for all beltpacks planned to be in the area. It is especially
important to consider the number of beltpacks that are booted in the same area (and then moved to other areas). The
initial beltpack staging area should be able to provide access to all devices.
• Area Considerations
• Metal Barriers - Signal reflects off metal which can provide good signal fill for areas; however, the
signal will not pass through metal.
• Cement - Signal usually passes through with little problem. Dependent on the cement thickness
and the presence of any metal rebar.
• Wood and Drywall - No issues.
• Overall Size - May need more access points to cover a large area even if only a few beltpacks are
used.
• Spectrum Bandwidth - Other DECT systems in the area (i.e., wireless phone systems use some of the DECT
spectrum allowing less beltpacks in the area).
• Matrix system supports enough OMNEO channels for the amount of beltpacks.
• Ethernet infrastructure supports access points with sufficient bandwidth for additional traffic and uses managed
switches (OSI Layer 3 capable).

26 System Overview ROAMEO System
Access Points
The ROAMEO AP-1800 converts DECT signaling to the OMNEO protocol, Audinate’s Dante digital high-quality audio
transport over IP. AP-1800 units are physically connected via the Ethernet network to an ADAM or ADAM-M matrix using
an OMI card
between the OMI card and the beltpack communicating via DECT.
There are two types of access points in a ROAMEO system:
1
. The OMI card maintains a bi-directional OMNEO channel for each beltpack. The AP-1800 acts as the interface
• Home AP
• Vis i tor AP
FIGURE 5. Components of a ROAMEO System
Home AP
The Home AP is any AP-1800 that configures the beltpack’s BPID (Beltpack ID) to one of its available OMNEO channels
using IPedit.
Visitor AP
The Visitor AP is any AP-1800 that does not configure the BPID to one of the its OMNEO channels in IPedit. The Visitor AP
can be thought of as a bridge that allows the visiting beltpack to communicate within the system while outside of its Home AP
radius (Figure 6).
NOTE: The Home and Visitor labels are in reference to the beltpack. A beltpack’s Home access point could be a Visitor
access point to a different beltpack.

ROAMEO System System Overview 27
Roaming
The ROAMEO system allows beltpacks to move between the radio coverage area of one AP-1800 to the radio coverage area
of another AP-1800. This is called roaming. Roaming is monitored and maintained by the system of access points, making it
transparent to the user. Handoff from one coverage area to another is done in such a way to make it nearly seamless. Roaming
does not involve any processing on the OMI, allowing the OMNEO bit stream to be completely uninterrupted.
In order for seamless hand-off to occur, the AP-1800 RF coverage area must overlap. This allows the beltpack handoff
commands to be sent to both the current access point and the new access point in the coverage area which ensures a seamless
hand-off.
The 80 RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) contour line shown in Figure 6 is a number related to the access point’s RF
signal strength as received at the beltpack. This can be measured using the beltpack’s site survey screen when testing an access
point location. For more information, see “Site Survey” on page 39.
IMPORTANT: When there is little or no coverage overlap, a beltpack can experience undesirable audio break-up before
the hand-off to a new access point occurs.
FIGURE 6. SimpleFigure 6 Roaming Diagram
When access points boot, they scan the area and pick an RF carrier and time slot based upon the other beacons detected in the
area. The access points also avoid using carriers and time slots already in use by using AP IDs (access point identification).
Each access point in a system has to be set to a unique AP ID using the IPedit application. An algorithm based upon the AP ID
of the access point forces access points to never select the same carrier and slots.
In high density beltpack areas where more than six wideband access points may be required, some access points may not
detect an RF carrier already in use, that can result in roaming issues. The system works best if these scenarios are avoided by
designing high density areas with good access point overlap. Figure 7 shows how all seven access points can detect and
coordinate carriers and time slots with each other, even when there are more than six devices present. The 112 RSSI contour
line can be measured by a beltpack using the site survey screen when testing an access point location. See “Perform a Site
Survey” on page 46.

IMPORTANT: It is important if more than six wideband or ten narrowband access points are used to cover the same
area that all the access point be placed in a location where they can detect each other.

Home Connections
IMPORTANT: When configuring home connections, remember to assign the configured access point channels to the
OMI card in the Matrix (see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59).
Each access point channel is a bi-directional OMNEO channel for audio, command, and control with the matrix. For a
wideband system (CODEC G.722), there are five access point channels available to assign BPIDs. For a narrowband system
(CODEC G.726), there are 10 access point channels available. The OMNEO channel that returns to the OMI from the Home
access point

Home to Visitor Roaming
When a beltpack roams from its Home AP to a Visitor AP, a new OMNEO connection is made between both access points.
However, before the new connection’s OMNEO channel is used, the new DECT RF connection must be confirmed as good.
The new DECT RF connection is made before breaking from the old connection. This means the existing DECT RF link to the
Home AP is maintained until the new DECT RF link to the Visitor AP is confirmed. When the connection is confirmed, the
existing DECT RF link is dropped and the new OMNEO channel from the Visitor AP is used.
