LQ interfaces allow networked interfacing for intercom and audio using standalone devices or linked deployments of multiple decentralized devices over LAN, WAN, or Internet infrastructures with audio routing, mixing, and transport of specialized control signaling via up to 24 Channels and Direct connections using the Opus codec.  Various LQ hardware options are available with 2-wire, 4-wire, and 4-wire GPIO interface in 2-, 4- or 8-port portable or rackmount device.  

LQ links its channels natively with other LQ interfaces, Gen-IC Virtual Intercom and HelixNet HMS-4X* digital partyline and allows for virtual interfacing using I.V. Direct (/IVC Direct) to Eclipse E-IPA (/IVC32) matrix cards & Arcadia Central Stations or SIP telephone systems over all types of networks.
