Intercom technology the world can rely on.
Just a short while before the Olympics! TV crews from around the world are already in the starting blocks and are wrapping up the final tasks in their arduous preparation. There is no doubt that the sweat will bead on the athletes; and the technicians who will cover the show for a little over two weeks and ensure that the broadcasts take place perfectly, will certainly feel a similar strain of endurance.
In an event of this scale communications equipment must be fail-safe, but a technical incident is still possible in any situation. That is why RTS & Telex Intercom mobilized their teams to ensure the greatest sporting event in the world is broadcast reliably. All clients using RTS & Telex intercom systems can rely on systems engineers dispatched on-site and posted remotely. With this commitment, RTS & Telex unite their resources to ensure that the greatest victory (yours) is realized. There is no doubt that together, we will continue to live the motto left by Pierre de Coubertin: “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (Swifter, Higher, Stronger).
