Pulling off the 2008 Beijing Olympics required a lot of communications, and that was on the mind of director of Riedel Communications marketing and communications Andreas Hilmer.

The opening and closing ceremonies required 18,000 Riedel FMR 1000 radio receivers to coordinate the movements and actions of all the performers participating.

Hilmer offers more insight on the Olympics as well as information about the company’s new Acrobat DECT-based wireless intercom in this audio podcast.
