The EJEAS Q8 utilizes multi-hop technology (470-488MHz) for its mesh network intercom system. This allows for seamless group communication among multiple users without distance limitations, offering superior performance compared to traditional chain-type Bluetooth intercoms with longer transmission distances and better interference resistance.
