XVirtual
Read full descriptionHide full description
Xplorer is based on Xvirtual, a software application running on iOS or Windows, and operates as a single, fully featured, intercom panel. As an example, and thanks to Ethernet connectivity, a computer in a newsroom can be rendered with the functionality of an intercom user panel. Just the same way, any iPhone, iPod or iPad Apple device can be turned into a wireless intercom system, provided that there is Wi-Fi connectivity available with a Conexia or Crossnet intercom matrix. It can also operate as an autonomous system by simply adding a TW5000 base station. Further, AEQ has developed a series of wireless intercom panels using this technology that includes all commonly required features for professional belt-packs. XBP is a hardware intercom panel based on 5GHz Wi-Fi technology and using Xplorer as its software engine. In essence this is the combination of the the processing capabilities, connectivity and operating system of an Apple iPod device and a hardware solution that provides professional features. It provides a quick-access user interface consisting in 4 physical keys, a gain control and mute encoder and battery status indicators. It is connected to the iPod through a low power Bluetooth link. It also incorporates all necessary circuitry required to charge the internal batteries and interface professional headset combinations.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RTS Edge at every 3 weeks against XVirtual's every 2 months. XVirtual's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
