Professional RF Management for indoor and outdoors events

Running even a medium-sized event – be it a concert, conference, trade fair, outdoor festival or similar production – you quickly reach the point where dedicated radio frequency coordination for all wireless equipment brought on-site becomes essential. Multiple RF users, evolving new technologies and competing frequency requirements create interference risks that can disrupt entire events.

The challenge

RF coordination is fundamentally about managing an often-scarce shared resource, and with increasing use of RF devices at events, the need for careful planning and coordination is more critical than ever.

Without professional coordination, disputes over spectrum access and responsibility for interference problems can affect performances, disappoint audiences and damage professional relationships.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Frequency Coordination

Expert Planning and Information Gathering

Our team of expert frequency coordinators understand that the key to good RF management lies in dedicated planning and comprehensive information gathering. We establish clear processes for collecting RF requirements and technical specifications well in advance of your event.

Streamlined RF User Portal

We can provide a straightforward portal through which all RF users coming to your event can submit their exact requirements and contact Mission Control coordinators directly to discuss any complexities. This centralised approach ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Complex Calculations Solved

Using the latest state-of-the-art software, we assign a comprehensive time-plan for all frequencies in use on-site, from the headline act or keynote speaker to the press crews and the information kiosk, we ensure interference-free operation across your entire event.

Neutral Third-Party Management

Having a neutral third party solely responsible for ensuring everyone has access to the spectrum they need at the time they need it avoids disputes over responsibility and creates clear accountability for RF performance.
