Word Alive is a charity dedicated to hosting events for Christians to learn, pray and teach each other since 2007. The charity held an annual six day event, hosted in Wales, which is attended by hundreds of participants every year.
This event takes place across different buildings and outdoor stages, sprawling on to Prestatyn’s beaches and surrounding areas. Residential accommodation is also on offer, for guests wishing to experience the whole duration.
Brentwood Communications has been delighted to support Word Alive in recent years, by hiring two way radio solutions to provide coverage across the large site, both indoors and outdoors. The event plays host to many visitors including a number of young families and monitoring the area with reliable communications was a priority for all those involved. This in turn creates a safe environment for all visitors, and allows operations across site to run without a hitch.
Brentwood’s Solution
Complete coverage was critical here, so the Motorola CP040 radios were provided. The CP040 is the predecessor to the DP1400 model – one of Brentwood’s best sellers – and with its high quality audio and easy to use controls, Brentwood were confident that the radio had the capabilities the event needed. As with every hire, chargers and a number of spare batteries were provided free of charge in order to minimise waiting times for equipment.
Difficulty can often arise when operating across large areas, as radios alone struggle to provide the coverage required. Brentwood anticipated this problem, and as a result a repeater and pump up mast were supplied in order to boost signal in struggling areas, eliminating black spots and making sure every member of the team could be reached.
Base stations that can operate from a desk or fixed location were a popular solution with the event’s organisers, keeping communications fixed and hands free for staff that weren’t mobile on site. Lightweight headsets were hired so that potential noise can be blocked out, a essential for customers holding busy events.
