BeFREE 20 (BF20) - 15.0'' Touchcomputer with Integrated Intercom

Voice Communication Dispatching Device

The BeFREE 20 (BF 20) is a member of the modular FREE (also referred to as FREE/FREE+/BeFREE) product family, integrating a 15.0” touchmonitor, a computer and an intercom device. It is compatible and combinable with all existing FREE modules. The touchmonitor comprises a high-brightness, ultra-wide viewing angle TFT LCD and 5-wire resistive touchscreen. The computer is based on a main-board with Intel quad-core Celeron processor (J6412) and a solid state disk. Thanks to low-power components and the corresponding electronic and thermal design the BeFREE 20 is completely silent and without moving parts.
