The Institute of Technical Education (ITE Central) in Singapore has adopted Riedel’s Bolero wireless intercom and RiFace universal radio interface to support theatre production communications over a broad coverage area with a minimum number of antennae. The versatile Riedel systems allowed for plug-and-play integration with the institute’s legacy two-wire systems and were commissioned, facilitating seamless roaming and high audio quality.
‘Our theatre production space is expansive, so we needed a communications solution that could provide coverage over a large area with fewer antennas and greater beltpack functionality,’ says, Technical Officer, Joshua Chong. ‘Riedel’s Bolero and RiFace integrated seamlessly with existing legacy communications gear, including radio systems, and addressed all of our requirements, providing reliable, low-latency communications that sound great.’
ITE Central is a public vocational school in Singapore that provides pre-employment training to secondary school graduates and continuing education and training to working adults. The institute is using the Bolero and RiFace to support a variety of theatre productions. The gear recently enabled flawless, theatre-wide communications during ITE Dance Emblazon, a dance concert featuring more than 200 dance talents and five dance genres.
The Bolero wireless intercom system supports up to ten beltpacks per antenna, thereby requiring a small number of antennas to cover the gamut of production areas. The beltpacks themselves can be used as wireless beltpacks, wireless keypanels, or walkie-talkies. Riedel’s RiFace universal radio interface made it simple to link the facility’s wired communication systems with two-way radio systems.
‘This installation of Bolero and RiFace at ITE Central demonstrates not just the versatility of Bolero but our ability to provide world-class communications solutions in a diverse range of applications,’ says Riedel Communications ASEAN and South Asia General Manager, Rajveer Singh. ‘The simplicity of setup and extensive coverage capabilities are increasingly making our Bolero the primary choice for organizations looking for flexible, high-quality communications across a facility, campus, or other venue.’
