Brighton Centre already reaping the benefits of having a Simoco DMR system installed

As part of the Brighton Centre’s technology upgrade programme, which has been running alongside the interior refurbishment, the Brightoncentre recently installed Flare Audio’s X5 speakers and Q18 bass units into Auditorium 1. Maybe not the most obvious of part of the refurbishment (you have to look really hard at the ceiling 14 metres up to see it!) but still a really exciting project which has allowed for a further enhanced organiser and delegate experience at the venue, after all being able to hear the speaker through a first class sound system is rather important really, isn’t it?

During September the Brighton Centre also upgraded it's radio system, replacing the professional mobile radio (PMR) system with the latest digital standard. The Simoco Xd from the digital mobile radio (DMR) range by Simoco. The organization first used it at the Labour Party Conference; the perfect opportunity to trial the new system as excellent communication across a 2 venue site with 10,000 delegates is rather vital. The Brighton Centre is delighted to say it worked perfectly and is now in use for all events at the venue.

The Brighton Centre is already reaping the benefits of having a DMR system installed. With exhibitions, concerts and conferences being held back to back at the Centre it is critical to have good communication across all department. The benefits of the new DMR system include:
    •    Simultaneous calls for user groups
    •    No queuing and interoperability within the system, allowing extra capacity for external users during busy periods
    •    More reliable coverage, up to the edge of the signal range
    •    Coverage can reach some of the local hotels to maintain communication with organisers even when away from the venue
    •    Better signal increases public safety and efficient operational management

So yes, it may not seem like the most exciting part of the venues refurbishment programme but radio communication is absolutely critical to the safe and successful management of the venue. The centre recently invested heavily in technology and they are one of the first venues to provide Free Delegate Wi-Fi. With the upgrade to DMR the Brighton Centre will have reliable two-way push-to-talk radio communications through the site benefiting all clients’ events.
