UK-based lighting media, entertainment, and events markets service provider White Light has standardised its crew communications capabilities on Riedel’s Bolero wireless intercom solution, serving the full range of the company’s on-site and virtual events throughout the UK and across Europe.
Headquartered in London, White Light has offered complete technical solutions since 1971 for projects of all sizes, including theatre productions, corporate events, live broadcast, musical concerts and themed attractions. When the time came for White Light to upgrade from its previous single-channel intercom solution, the company chose Bolero after an extensive market evaluation.
‘One of the many things that sets Bolero apart from other wireless intercoms is its ability to support multiple categories of users, such as camera operators, production managers and Zoom technicians,’ says White Light Venues Director, Jonjo Glynn. ‘With its programmable beltpack, users are able to customise their set-up to meet individual needs, and user groups can be programmed to hear only specific types of comms from other groups. This type of flexibility allows us to communicate in ways that were previously impossible for events, whether crew members are on location or virtual.’
Since adopting Bolero, White Light has put the wireless intercom system to work on a variety of events, and has adopted Bolero as the primary comms system for SmartStage extended-reality studio for hire. SmartStage has most recently been deployed at The Mermaid, an upscale conference and event venue in London’s Blackfriars district, to provide a Covid-19-secure alternative for producing virtual events.
‘Throughout the pandemic, White Light’s SmartStage has revolutionised the delivery of virtual events for a broad range of clients – and its technology has won several awards for innovation,’ says Riedel Communications UK Sales Manager, Nacho Lee. ‘As part of that award-winning technology package, Bolero has shown once again just how versatile and flexible the system is for any type of live event, whether attendees are calling in virtually or attending live.’
