Pliant Technologies announced the launch of CrewCom Flex, the frameless matrix intercom system that converges wired, wireless and virtual voice communication on a standards-based AES67 / SMPTE ST 2110 backbone. The solution makes its debut at InfoComm 2026.

The company said that CrewCom Flex unites Pliant’s CrewCom wireless intercom system with new wired panels, desktop panels, wired belt packs and browser-or app-based virtual intercom panels that can be deployed in cloud-native or local infrastructures. Pliant said that the solution is designed for demanding productions and critical communication environments, aiming to deliver a communications ecosystem for hybrid, remote, distributed and highly scalable workflows.

“With our truly distributed architecture, there is finally an intercom system with no single point of failure,” said Gary Rosen, vice president of global sales for Pliant Technologies. “CrewCom Flex delivers lower total cost of ownership, reduced hardware inventory, simplified configuration, and effortless remote production workflows. It’s intercom with fewer limitations and far more possibilities.”

The new CrewCom FlexMain Panel [CKP-16] and Desktop Panel [CDP-16] power the solution and are designed to combine the familiarity of traditional hardware with the flexibility and advantages of frameless distributed IP communications. The company said that expansion panels can be added to create highly customizable user stations, while each panel and desktop panel functions as its own intelligent distributed matrix.

CrewCom Flexis standards-based with AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 support for seamless AoIP and VoIP integration and includes ST 2022-7 redundancy compliance for maximum reliability in mission-critical applications.

Pliant is also announced that it is introducing new CrewCom FlexBeltPacks, available in two-channel [CBP-22] and four-channel [CBP-24] versions. The beltpacks feature integrated microphones and speakers, allowing users an option to communicate without requiring a headset.

The platform also includes CrewCom FlexVirtual Intercom, a browser-based VoIP communications solution available in 4-, 8-, 16-, and 36-key virtual user configurations. FlexVirtual Intercom can operate as a standalone communications system or integrate seamlessly into larger CrewCom Flex deployments. It is accessible from PCs, Macs, tablets and mobile devices. CrewCom Flex integrates directly with existing CrewCom wireless intercom systems through CrewCom’s 32×32 Dante/AES-67 Digital Audio Network Interface [CXD-32CF]. System configuration and management are handled through the updated CrewWare 2.0 software platform.

“There are virtually no limits on size, geography, or project type with CrewCom Flex,” said Rosen. “Whether your workflow requires traditional panels, desktop panels, wireless users, virtual panels, site-to-site communications, or cloud-based deployments, every user experiences the same intuitive interface and streamlined communication workflow.”
