Radio Frequency (RF) Advantages

RF Wireless Audience Response Systems provide advantages you’ll find in no other product.

RF wireless audience response systems (ARS) use radio frequency to exchange data between keypads and the system controller. Wireless systems are much easier to set up and, as necessary, move from location to location. These systems are inherently more reliable since these devices do not depend on a maze of cables and connectors.

Competitive advantage: RF sets up in a fraction of the time required by competitive products. Setting up meeting areas with wired products means installing and securing a multitude of cables.

RF users enjoy unequaled flexibility. It is possible to walk about the room, transmit through or around tables, and move the pad about a work area while remaining linked to the presentation at all times.

Competitive advantage: RF offers the freedom to move. Wired systems are ‘tethered’ to a fixed location.

The radio design of RF offers superior capacity. Each system controller processes responses from thousands of keypads, and multiple controllers can reside in a single site to enhance data gathering.

Competitive advantage: RF is scalable out of the box. Wired systems are limited in capacity-per-controller and capacity-per-site.

RF offers outstanding performance. Responses from a few to thousands of participants at a single site can be processed in under a few seconds.

Competitive advantage: RF is fast and accurate. It offers “instant” response with no perceptible delays when viewed side-by-side with wired systems.

RF keypads operate and communicate with the system controller independent of each other.

Competitive advantage: RF is fast, reliable and accurate. Wired systems incorporate intermediary devices (junction boxes, repeaters, and even other pads!) that may jeopardize the function of groups of keypads when malfunctioning.

The RF system, a patented two-way communication, ensures that all responses transmitted by keypads are positively acknowledged as “received” by the system controller.

Competitive advantage: No other radio-based ARS product can offer this feature.
