ATLinkage, a Japan-based provider of video production and distribution for large-scale live venues, recently expanded its rental portfolio with the addition of a Riedel Bolero wireless intercom system.
“While Bolero’s wide antenna coverage area and beltpack battery life match the requirements of concert tours, the ease of installation when operating the Bolero has also led many of our customers to order rental equipment,” says Tsukasa Ishii, video engineer at ATLinkage. “The fact that up to 10 beltpacks can be connected to one antenna — with the option to add antennas and install wherever necessary — not only makes it easy to configure the equipment, but also provides total scalability and coverage for large venues. Overall, Bolero has become an indispensable asset in delivering exceptional experiences at every event we undertake, helping us reinforce our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology and enhancing the overall efficiency of our operations.”
ATLinkage is providing equipment rentals and support for 70 Bolero beltpacks and 14 antennas, as well as Riedel’s NSA-002A network stream adapter and other products. The company’s on-site team has already deployed Bolero antennas and beltpacks to support live event production at stadiums and concert halls that include the Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, the Japan National Stadium, Pia Arena MM, Makuhari Messe, and Saitama Super Arena.
The wireless intercom system’s wide antenna coverage and extended 18-hour beltpack battery life make it a well suited for concert tours. With a waterproof and dustproof design, Bolero also is designed to ensure resilience in various operational conditions. And, it operates in the 1.9-GHz DECT band, which helps reduce the likelihood of interference with other wireless broadcasting equipment, such as drones or the venue’s permanent Wi-Fi.
“We are delighted to join forces with ATLinkage, a company that shares our dedication to advancing communication through the fusion of art and technology,” says Guillaume Mauffrey, director sales Asia at Riedel Communications. “Thanks to its reliability and versatility in complex environments, the Bolero system aligns well with ATLinkage’s goal of enhancing the efficiency of event productions across Japan.”
