Riedel Communications’ Bolero 2.4GHz wireless intercom system has been used for the first time in a large-scale live event in China. During concerts for a popular Taiwanese band held at Shenzhen Universiade Center Stadium in Guangdong and Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium July, distributor Jiangsu R&J Electronic Co provided the system to ensure easy set-up and deployment, and high-quality and high-coverage radio frequencies for the production house.

This event demonstrated how Bolero 2.4GHz can be used efficiently in a large-scale environment without being affected by other wireless devices on the same frequency in the same environment.

‘We’ve been a Riedel distributor for over five years, and we could not imagine recommending another company’s solutions for this occasion,’ says R&J General Manager, Zhu Rongjun. ‘The cutting-edge Bolero system has enhanced communication infrastructures all over the world. We took great pride in delivering this seamless solution and watching it elevate the production experience for both the artist and audiences alike.’

Working in the 50,000-sapacity stadium, the concert’s director and crew in charge of lighting, sound and video needed to communicate throughout the venue. Although there were many wireless devices in the environment, such as cameras and high-power Wi-Fi hotspot devices, the Bolero 2.4-GHz wireless beltpacks used by the production team proved immune to co-frequency interference.

Additionally, the production house successfully integrated wired and wireless intercom systems by connecting Bolero to its Artist intercom via Riedel’s NSA-002 network stream adapter. This reduced costs by limiting the number of antennae needed, and enabled operators to work in both integrated and stand-alone modes. The OB team used a MediorNet MicroN high-density signal interface to run frame sync and video signal distribution, while also combining all their broadcasting video tools in one rack space, significantly reducing rack space.

‘As a legally compliant wireless frequency, 2.4GHz can be employed without any worries,’ says Riedel Communications China General Manager, Peter Shen. ‘However, due to the issue of wireless co-frequency interference, people have never dared to use 2.4GHz wireless calls at large-scale event venues before. The Bolero 2.4GHz has changed users’ perspective, deploying with ease, and providing exceptional performance. Having demonstrated the system’s availability in a real-world environment, we have accomplished what other competitors cannot achieve, once again solidifying our position as the leading provider of wireless communication solutions.’
