Shanghai EXPO 2010 Using Clear-Com System

Share this Post:

SHANGHAI, China – Clear-Com provided the intercom for EXPO 2010, the "World's Fair"-style exposition that began on May 1 and ends Oct. 31, 2010 at the Shanghai Expo Performance Centre. EXPO 2010 organizers chose Clear-Com's Encore Partyline and Eclipse PiCo digital intercom systems and six V-Series intercom panels to help support the communications needs for the six-month events, with an anticipated 20,000 performances taking place.
During the EXPO, production workers need to quickly organize a very diverse array of performances ─ everything from Chinese folk dancers to full-scale fashion shows and music concerts. EXPO 2010 organizers chose Clear-Com based on the system's success at other major events, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 11th National Games.

 

At the center of the Clear-Com setup at the Shanghai Expo Performance Centre is a 36-by-36-port Eclipse PiCo, used to manage communications on the V-Series panels and Encore Partyline beltpacks throughout EXPO 2010. 

 

Twelve wall speaker stations located throughout the facility and 30 beltpacks help ensure that production crew members have intercom access whenever they need it, no matter where they are located.

 

Crews also selected the Clear-Com V-Series panels for their ability to support Chinese characters, further easing the use of the equipment for staff members that can only read Chinese.

 

The Clear-Com equipment will also be used after EXPO 2010 concludes, as the Shanghai Expo Performance Centre will become a permanent venue for performances, art exhibitions and sporting events.

 

"It is an honor that such an iconic, large-scale event as EXPO 2010 Shanghai has selected Clear-Com intercoms to handle its communications," said Bob Boster, director of Americas and Asia-Pacific sales, Clear-Com. "It speaks to the reputation of our product line as high quality and reliable solutions that the EXPO 2010 team feels it can count on to handle the literally thousands of performances set to take place throughout the exposition. We look forward to the success of the EXPO and a continuing relationship between Clear-Com and the Shanghai Expo Performance Centre."
