Events – Summer Wrap
… projects at home and overseas!
While Sydney was experiencing its extended lockdowns, the Events department had a very busy last quarter of 2021, preparing and delivering communications for the UAE 50th National Day Celebrations in the Emirate of Dubai.
With an experienced crew sourced from both from our Australian staff and familiar faces from abroad, The P.A. People were part of a large team delivering a spectacular show staged on Hatta Dam in the Country’s east. Providing both wireless and wired comms, the system started with 26 interfaced two-way radio channels with Mototrbo digital handsets. The intercom components included Clear-Com HelixNet digital party line, Eclipse Matrix frames and panels, and Free Speak II full duplex comms system, able to accommodate 120 wireless Belt Pacs across 40 IPT transceivers deployed over the very large site.
All of this was supported by The P.A. People-designed network and fibre backbone, distributing timecode to our IP timecode displays, along with CCTV cameras and some 40 CCTV displays. We also provided the network backbone for the considerable ‘water’ component of the show consisting of programmable fountains across the stage and set. Malestrom, our new cloud-based asset management software kept track of all the ‘user assigned’ equipment managed over the project, and the daily sign-in and outs.
Congratulations to LarMac Projects and the whole team involved.
The busy period continued into the new year. We successfully provided the Comms package for the NYE fireworks for our 10th year, and supported Tennis Australia and Tennis NSW for the ATP Cup across their two venues, Ken Rosewall Arena and Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, followed by the Sydney Classic event.
