The difficulty of wiring through or around bulletproof glass restricts your choices when installing an intercom system. Several wireless intercom systems exist in the market each providing different features and limitations which depend on your particular requirements.

1. Basic Push-to-Talk Wireless Callboxes

A battery-powered wireless callbox such as our RT1101 Wireless Callbox delivers a basic but affordable solution. The wireless callbox provides a practical choice for meeting fundamental communication requirements. Push-to-talk operation defines how these systems function. Your visitor must hold the button down to speak during each conversation like they would with a walkie-talkie. In situations needing seamless conversations this push-to-talk system becomes less than ideal.

2. Full-Duplex Wireless Systems

Full-duplex wireless systems allow both participants to speak without pressing any buttons which makes them perfect for advanced communication needs. The AT1001 Hands-Free Speakerphone Wireless Gate System serves as the perfect solution for this requirement. The system enables fluid bi-directional conversation just like you get with standard phone calls. However, it comes with some installation requirements: The system needs an external antenna to be installed along with a wall outlet close by to provide its 12-volt power supply. This choice provides an uninterrupted communication experience but optimal performance needs precise component placement.

3. Window Intercoms with Bulletproof Adapter Plates

When bulletproof glass already has a cutout you can utilize Window Intercom systems by installing bulletproof adapter plates. Secure environment communication has been enhanced with bulletproof glass intercoms which allow for clear hands-free interactions. The adapter plates create a tight seal with the glass surface which makes them perfect for use in bank teller windows, ticket booths and other secure locations. People find this solution useful when they require a fixed communication point through glass but cannot establish wiring.

4. Countertop Window Intercom Systems

Countertop Window Intercom systems work best for setups with counter space on both sides of the glass that allow wire routing around the security barrier. This intercom system uses two separate units placed on each glass side which are joined together by a wire. The countertop system provides clear communication capabilities while keeping the barrier secure. The system functions optimally with wired connections providing dependable performance and ease of use.

5. Telephone-Based Intercom Systems

You can choose a Telephone-Based Intercom system for communication needs across glass barriers if wiring is impossible but a telephone system or analog landline exist on the premises. These intercom systems automatically connect to a predetermined phone number when used to enable standard two-way communication similar to a phone call. Telephone-Based Intercom systems work well for large installations that already have existing telephone infrastructure. The Cell Phone Intercom represents a system variation that connects to cellular networks without wires. This system possesses the capability to connect with any telephone device regardless of it being a landline or mobile phone. The system needs a cell phone service plan which results in recurring subscription costs each month or year. This intercom system shares with most wireless systems the need for connection to a power outlet in close proximity.

Final Considerations

When choosing a wireless intercom system for bulletproof glass installation you need to evaluate power supply requirements along with whether the system should support push-to-talk or full-duplex communication and determine if it's possible to route wires through or around the glass. The advantages of each solution vary based on the specifics of your situation. Options exist for both push-to-talk systems and fully hands-free solutions to meet your requirements while guaranteeing secure and reliable communications.
