The weeklong DialogPlus event by Raiffeisen Bank used 5,000 metres of fibre cabling and brought together 10,000 employees at the 100,000 sq m Messe Basel exhibition space.

Avinteractiv announced that the Swiss Raiffeisen Bank has put on one of the country’s largest corporate events of the year, using equipment and infrastructure from Riedel Communications.

The DialogPlus deployment of Riedel Communications solutions included the MediorNet real-time media network and RockNet low-latency, real-time audio network.

Riedel also managed event control and coordination from the operations centre, monitoring all communication channels (Tetra, telephone, and intercom) for the co-ordination of technical maintenance, emergency services, and security, as well as the provision of information to guests and service providers.

Eighteen MediorNet frames and two MetroN core router systems supported transport of audio, video, and data signals, as well as a hybrid wired/wireless communications network established via the Riedel Artist digital matrix intercom system — one Artist 128 frame and three Artist 64 frames, complemented by 50 remote control panels — and the company’s Juggler system.

A compact Tetra digital trunked radio network interface, the Juggler system enabled seamless integration of 250 Motorola radios with the Artist system.

A wireless intercom system also was paired with the Artist system to support ‘newsroom’ operations.
