Kidde Products Ltd
Kidde Products required a reliable two-way TourGuide System that would be easy to setup and operate; purchased from a knowledgeable and credible provider.
In addition they needed a supplier who could also provide solid after sales care such as training, support and maintenance of the system.
Kidde employees work in a noisy environment, so it was crucial that the system would work in these conditions and had ear defender headsets.
Following a detailed review of Kidde’s requirements, a Two-Way 10-unit Williams Sound Digi-Wave TourGuide System was recommended and supplied.
TourGuide Systems organised the shipping of the pre- prepared system and project managed the installation with Kidde on time and within budget.
The solution included:
- DLT100 DigiWave transceivers
- 12-bay charging station
- Ear-defender headsets with boom microphone
The Williams Sound Digi-Wave TourGuide is a cost effective and simple system to operate and setup.
Other benefits of the solution include:
- Full duplex operation (open two-way speech for any two activated units, i.e. no ‘push-to-talk’ action)
- Run four simultaneous tour groups in full two-way speech mode
- Up to 14 separate tour groups in listen-only mode
- Built-in microphone and speaker
- Compact, stylish and completely portable
- Comprehensive range of headsets for tourguides
- State of the art digital technology
- Patented, frequency hopping technology which reduces interference from other devices
- 2 year warranty
