The world of live events, broadcasting, and communication demands seamless coordination, and ALTAIR’s IPCom system steps in as the game-changer we’ve all been waiting for. Built with over 30 years of experience in live entertainment and broadcast industries, ALTAIR’s IPCom introduces a decentralized, IP-based communication solution, offering a high degree of flexibility, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
The IPCom system does not require the traditional physical matrix found in other intercom systems. Instead, it operates over a standard IP network, providing immense scalability and ease of integration. Whether it's for concerts, broadcast studios, or venues, this system brings sophisticated communication tools to the forefront, making it possible for users to manage up to 128 users and groups, with 32 channels accessible from a single panel. Notably, all this can be achieved using affordable CAT5/6 cabling and simple “plug-and-play” setup, ensuring you’re up and running with minimal effort.
Unlocking the Power of ALTAIR IPCom system using Nebula
The Nebula Software is an intuitive and comprehensive tool designed for configuring and managing the IPCom series of intercom devices. Being IP-based, the devices offer a wide range of functionalities for seamless communication across different environments, from theater production to broadcast environments.
Once installed, Nebula allows you to configure your entire IP communication system, including audio parameters, network settings, device settings, and routing. This ensures a completely customized intercom system tailored to your specific needs.
What makes Nebula unique is its user-friendly interface divided into six main windows: Users, Groups, User Groups, Cue, Users Cues, and Function Keys GPIOs. These windows provide full control over each device connected to the system, enabling users to create detailed configurations down to individual channels and group communications.
Even after the system is fully configured, Nebula can still serve as a monitoring tool or be used to send text messages across devices, adding even more value to its robust feature set.
Whether you're handling complex configurations or smaller setups, Nebula simplifies the process.

Why IPcom Could Be Your Best Bet for Communication
For anyone managing a team of technicians and managers, directing a live event, or coordinating complex setups in large venues, IPCom offers several key advantages:
Scalability and Simplicity
You are no longer confined by the limits of physical matrix systems. IPCom
grows with you. Its simple, modular design allows you to scale effortlessly as your needs evolve. Simply connect new devices to the network, and you're ready to deploy the new devices. Communication and power is provided by the network (requires a PoE-switch)
Reliable Performance with Distributed Intelligence
What truly sets the IPcom system apart is its distributed intelligence concept. Each beltpack or station on the network functions as a backup for the entire system. This eliminates single points of failure, a critical feature when working in high-stakes environments like live performances or broadcasts.
Pre-Configured and Ready to Go
With the pre-configured beltpacks, users can immediately start working in a basic two-channel partyline mode. This saves precious time, especially for teams constantly on the move.
Flexible and Advanced Features
The system also supports the addition of new products, like the wireless beltpack which is coming soon, expanding the flexibility of the system further.
User-Friendly Configuration Software
IPcom is powered by NEBULA configuration software, allowing you to customize channels, manage devices, and adjust priorities with ease. The NEBULA interface is intuitive, ensuring you don’t need to be a tech wizard to get the most out of your system.
Easy intergration with older systems
Did you know that it is easy to adapt the IPcom into your older 2W or 4W system? The IPX-301 and IPX-302 lets you connect to an existing system easly. Save money by keeping your old system and expanding it with IPcom
In conclusion, ALTAIR’s IPcom system is a robust, scalable, and
affordable solution, perfect for venues, live events and broadcast settings.
It’s reliable, packed with features, and incredibly easy to deploy, making it a
standout option for professionals across industries. At its incredibly attractive price point, it competes with other products way above its own weight class.
