Clear-Com launches FreeSpeak Cell

Friday May 15, 2026 14:44

At NAB Show 2026, Clear-Com introduced FreeSpeak Cell, a new cellular-based wireless intercom system aimed at simplifying communications for remote and distributed productions.

Designed to operate over existing cellular networks, FreeSpeak Cell gives production teams a way to maintain professional-grade communications without requiring complex RF coordination or dedicated infrastructure. That flexibility makes it particularly appealing for live events, field production, mobile crews, and fast-turnaround deployments.

The launch reflects a broader shift happening across the industry. Productions are becoming increasingly decentralised, with crews working across multiple locations, cloud environments, and remote contribution workflows. Reliable communications remain mission-critical, but the expectation now is that systems need to deploy faster and scale more easily.

Clear-Com’s approach with FreeSpeak Cell focuses on lowering barriers to entry while maintaining the reliability and usability the brand is known for. For many productions, especially those operating outside traditional broadcast facilities, that could be a very compelling combination.
