The Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships, held along Hong Kong’s busy and crowded beachside, required a reliable communication solution to ensure smooth operations. Traditional radios struggled with terrain and weather interference, making it difficult for organizers to coordinate across wide venues filled with spectators and multiple race events happening simultaneously.
To overcome these challenges, the organizers deployed Telox TE320, integrated within HKT’s 1O1O Push-to-Talk system running on a dedicated 5G network.
I. Unstable Coverage: Conventional radios were easily disrupted by terrain and beachside weather conditions.
II. Noisy Environments: Loud crowds and race activities made it difficult for teams to hear instructions clearly.
III. Inefficient Coordination: Multiple race events required real-time communication among start, finish, and safety teams, which radios could not support effectively.
IV. Limited Device Capabilities: Traditional radios lacked advanced features such as dual SIM connectivity, instant messaging, or GPS tracking.
I. 3 Watt Loud Speaker: Delivered high-definition, powerful audio output, ensuring clear communication even in noisy beachside conditions.
II. 1.77-inch Color Screen: Enabled easy access to messages, status updates, and group selection, improving usability in fast-moving environments.
III. Dual SIMs: Ensured continuous connectivity across networks, minimizing the risk of communication blackouts.
IV. 4000mAh Battery: Supported all-day operations without interruption, crucial for long race days.
V. Rugged IP67 Protection: Waterproof and dustproof, purpose-built to withstand beachside weather and splashes.
VI. Push-to-Talk (PTT): Enabled instant, reliable group or one-to-one communication, supporting seamless coordination across start line, finish line, and safety units.
