The AEQ SYSTEL MAX is a professional call management and multi-conference system designed for broadcast (radio/TV) and corporate environments. Think of it as a highly advanced, IP-based "studio phone system" that allows you to put multiple callers on air simultaneously with exceptional audio quality.
Here is a breakdown of what you can do with it, organized by its main capabilities:
Professional Call Management (Talk-Show System)
- Manage Calls: It functions like a multi-line IP phone system, allowing a studio to handle up to 128 telephone lines. It is compatible with standard IP PBXs, corporate phone systems, and VoIP service providers.
- Put Multiple Callers on Air: Leveraging a non-blocking digital matrix and Dante/AES67 connectivity, it enables several callers to be live on air simultaneously without any drop in audio quality.
- Improve Audio Quality: Because it uses VoIP technology, the audio quality is significantly clearer than traditional analog phone lines, which is crucial for professional broadcasting.
Flexible Control Options
- Systel IP Original: A PC application paired with an IP phone. It’s based on call queuing and is ideal for high-productivity radio environments with defined roles for producers, screeners, and hosts.
- Systel IP TV: Similar to the Original version but multiplex-based, designed for the specific workflows of television production and technical intercommunication.
- Systel SET MAX: A solution where the control application is integrated directly into a dedicated touchscreen IP phone. This allows for flexible operation without needing a PC, perfect for cramped control rooms or secondary positions.
Integration & Cost Savings
Reduce Costs: It allows you to use your existing data network for calls, drastically reducing operational costs and eliminating the need for expensive, traditional dedicated phone lines (like ISDN).
Seamless Integration: It connects easily with your current IP PBX, corporate PBX, or IP telephony provider, fitting right into modern IP-based workflows.
How It Works in Practice
The SYSTEL MAX is a flexible system that can adapt to many different workflows. The core of the system is a powerful 19-inch rack-mount unit (called "SOLARIS") that connects to your network and serves as the central "engine". From there, you can choose the user interface that best fits your operation, whether it's a software-based screen for a producer or a standalone touchscreen phone for a host..
It was showcased as a new product at major industry events like the ISE 2026 and NAB Show 2026, representing the latest generation of broadcast telephony systems.
