Nicolas M Kyvernitis Enterprises (NMK), distributor of Williams Sound in the Middle East, has supplied a Digi-Wave wireless intercom system to Simtran Technology Systems.

A specialist supplier of simultaneous interpretation and conference management systems, Simtran answers a growing requirement for professional conference management and simultaneous interpretation services within both UAE and Middle East region. The company stocks a wide array of market leading products, including DIS and Shure.

The company required a system that would support interpretation of presentations being made in different areas during events, without having to temporarily install booths, transmitters and radiators in each area. For certain applications, a simpler, more portable solution was needed in order to provide the same high level of service but with that extra flexibility. NMK introduced Williams Sound to Simtran and provided a Digi-Wave demo kit to test.

‘On using the kit, we were impressed with the quality of the product and the general look and feel of the manufacturer as a whole, with its wide range of high-end products in various market segments,’ says Simtran General Manager, Antony Lovell. ‘We compared the Digi-Wave system with a couple of other brands in the market, and thought it would give us the most flexibility moving forward in terms of applications it could cover. Despite its slightly higher cost in comparison with the other options, the system still seemed to provide the best ROI, something we have to bear in mind in a very competitive market.’

Based on the demo session and positive feedback from its team Dubai based Simtran purchased a Digi-Wave 300 series, comprising DLT 300 Digital Transceivers and DLR 360 Digital Receivers to meet the requirement.

‘To date, we have successfully used the system on a handful of occasions with three different clients,’ Lovell reports. ‘Both end-users and interpreters employed on the jobs were able to use it with after a simple introduction and with no issues. This ease of use factor is very important, as there is no point in providing a system that isn’t intuitive and user friendly to clients who may only use it once a year. From a traditional conference set-up in a five-star hotel to an event that took place over various outdoor venues at a race track, the system has proven itself up to the job. It is not intended to replace our existing stock, but to provide a different solution for certain applications.’
