The TED2025 conference, entitled 'Humanity Reimagined', saw Clear-Com, supported by Netgear networking infrastructure, deliver communications to keep every element of the globally anticipated event running smoothly.
Hosted at the Vancouver Convention Centre, TED2025 drew thousands of the world’s leading thinkers and doers. Behind the scenes, production teams depended on a robust communications backbone designed around Clear-Com’s Eclipse Delta Frame, FreeSpeak wireless systems, and Dante audio distribution, all networked over high-performance Netgear switches.
Clear-Com’s intercom architecture enabled instant communication across TED’s multiple stages, breakout spaces, and control rooms. Key elements included Eclipse, integrating FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks for untethered mobility, plus Dante audio interfaces to interoperate with the broader AV ecosystem. Transceivers deployed throughout the venue, ensuring full-duplex wireless coverage for producers, camera operators, audio engineers, and event managers.
Netgear AV Line M4250 switches, configured with AES67 audio and trunking profiles, served as the critical backbone, ensuring low-latency, reliable transport for both intercom and high-resolution audio streams.
