ALAMEDA, USA – May 12, 2026 – Clear-Com® will showcase new communications solutions and major platform updates at InfoComm 2026 (Booth N7005), June 17-19, in the North and Central Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Recognized as one of the AV industry’s leading trade events, InfoComm brings together technology manufacturers, integrators, end users and production professionals from around the world to explore the latest innovations in professional audiovisual technology.
Clear-Com will introduce a new product that builds on the success of Arcadia® Central Station while providing customers with a modern path forward following the following the end-of-life of the HelixNet® Mainstation. The company is also featuring FreeSpeak Cell™, Clear-Com’s newest award winning wireless beltpack that uses LTE and 5G infrastructure to support large-scale communications across wide geographic areas. Designed for large venues and distributed productions, FreeSpeak Cell reduces reliance on traditional RF coordination while enabling full-duplex communications across campuses, compounds and multi-site operations. The system complements the broader FreeSpeak portfolio by extending coverage and scalability for complex live events and broadcast environments.
Clear-Com will also showcase the newest updates to Arcadia Central Station and the Eclipse® HX Digital Matrix System running the latest EHX v15 software. Together, these developments reinforce Clear-Com’s vision of a unified communications ecosystem that supports wired, wireless, IP-based and virtual workflows.
EHX v15 expands system capacity, adds configuration flexibility and enhances network resilience for Eclipse HX Digital Matrix System users. The release also introduces ARC (Access, Resource, Configuration), a new software-defined architecture that separates users, devices and resources from fixed hardware infrastructure, allowing systems to adapt more efficiently to changing production needs. The update supports up to 424 registered beltpacks, with 255 online simultaneously.
Updates to Arcadia Central Station add IFB support for expanded program audio and monitoring workflows, as well as compatibility with AES67-enabled panels for greater interoperability in IP environments. Arcadia continues to support wired, wireless, keypanels and analog partyline workflows in a single scalable platform.
Additionally, attendees will see the FreeSpeak Icon™ beltpack, the 4-Channel HelixNet beltpack, and virtual intercom solutions including Gen-IC®, Agent-IC® mobile app, and Station-IC™ for on-site, remote and hybrid teams.
“At InfoComm 2026, Clear-Com will show the broadest and most capable portfolio of communications solutions in the market, bar none,” said Bob Boster, President of Clear-Com. “We enable our customers to deploy exactly the solutions they need today, which will work with their investments from the past while also showcasing the tools they will be able to incorporate in the future.”
Clear-Com will also support an InfoComm 2026 educational session presented by Mina Sabet, Head of Production at TED, titled Behind the Scenes at TED: Designing Resilient Communication Networks. The session will explore how TED designs and manages communications workflows across complex live production environments, highlighting best practices for resilient, real-time team coordination in modern event production.
