Wireless Audience Response Systems

Nothing rivals a wireless Audience Response System for stimulating participation and measuring comprehension.

The wireless audience response system (ARS) is a versatile, efficient and reliable information gathering and dissemination tool designed to help put the power of interactivity into just about any type of group meeting, event or environment.

Our wireless technology and enhanced on-screen graphics help create an informative and motivational atmosphere that’s more creative and productive.

Adds excitement and enthusiasm (and fun too!)

Performance

It is an engineering fact that as a wireless data transmission medium, radio is far superior to infrared. Our wireless systems are two-way RF products that offer greater performance, simplicity, reliability, and range than any IR product.

Infrared keypads do not have an indicator to reflect that their response was processed by the receiving unit.

Each wireless keypad has a unique identity (i.e., address). Wireless uses two-way RF to send responses to the base station and receive positive acknowledgement from the base station to each individual keypad that its response was accepted. Wireless keypads have an indicator to confirm both the user’s response and the base station’s acknowledgment.

Simplicity

Wireless simply uses a single base station that can process responses of up to 250 radio keypads located 150-500 feet distant (see Range comparison below). Up to 8 base stations can be combined to increase maximum audience size per room to 2,000. But what’s remarkable is that all you need to do is place the base station in the room, connect it to your laptop, pass out wireless keypads, and you’re ready to poll.

Reliability

Wireless radio keypads are free to move around large and/or populated meeting rooms without fear of encountering range or barrier limitations. The patented RF design ensures votes are not “lost” as in cases common to IR. Additionally, all base stations and antennas may be hidden from the audience’s view.

Range

Wireless keypads can transmit and receive data on the “first try” when located 150 feet or more from the base station. This range doubles when the base station is elevated and centered on the audience, and the range triples when optional antennas are used. That generates coverage of up to 90,000 to over 200,000 square feet depending on base station location and/or use of optional antenna configurations.
