Hytera recently, signed a contract with Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras for the replacement of the old analog radio communicators system with a new DMR radio communications system including DMR PD786G radios. According to the CEO of Hytera in Brazil, Ricardo Bovo, theses radio represent the very latest in digital technology. "By using these radios, all security and operations teams of the clubhouse and the stadium will now be able to communicate in an agile, modern and safe way."
The formalization of the agreement took place in a meeting between Bovo and the president of Palmeiras, Paulo Nobre and Ricardo Bovo at the Football Academy, on Friday, June 19.
For Palmeiras operations manager, Guilherme Lipi, Hytera arrived just in time to assist the club in the modernization of its communication system. "The organization of a football match, involves hundreds of professionals in the areas of security, power, sound, lighting, ordinances, etc. For everything to be perfect, communication between these people also have to be perfect, clear, interference-free and, above all, totally inviolable and secure. With our old radios, this was no longer possible. Palmeiras has grown, their fans grew, their stadium grew. So, it has become essential to support this growth through this technology."
According to the CEO of Hytera, the change towards a new digital radio communicatieon system will provide more efficiency and safety to daily communication of employees and in particular to the fans. "Events with large audiences, such as football matches, require full attention of managers, and effective communication. Digital equipment allows the transmission of voice and data clearly without any possibility of eavesdropping. It enables security guards to work more focused on their activity. It will also help to ensure the physical integrity of fans going to the stadium with their families to watch the football match."
The Palmeiras security team noticed the difference of the old paras new equipment immediately. "The new digital radios do not suffer from interference or transmit external noises. In addition, the coverage area is increased. Today, we monitor everything that happens in the stadium, in the club and gym, from one location. Before, we never imagined that this could happen," says Henry Carlos Oliveira Mendes, responsible for security.
