BLUFFDALE,
UT, August 31, 2015 — The ListenWiFi Personal Listening
System from Listen Technologies
Corporation, a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of assistive
listening products, was recently installed at the new 80,000 square-foot
student recreation center at the University of California, Riverside. The
center serves as the hub of recreational, intramural, and club sports on
campus, offering a 21,000-square foot weight area, 100 cardio machines, a wide
variety of fitness and recreational classes, a 237,000-gallon pool, drop-in basketball,
volleyball and badminton games, intramural sports and clubs, and a 32-foot
climbing wall called “The Rock.” Clovis, California-based firm High-Tech
Electric was contracted to install a large multi-screen media wall for
showcasing school events, sharing news, broadcasting sports games, and for
other entertainment and educational purposes. The 7x7x28.5-foot media wall
connects 18 channels of content, including cable channels, static digital images,
and messaging as well as DVD and other media inputs.
Since the media wall is located near
the fitness center portion of the recreation center, UCR wanted students to
easily access audio content from any of the 18 channels through their
headphones using their mobile devices (iPhones, Androids, tablets, etc.). UCR
chose the ListenWiFi Personal Listening System from Listen Technologies because
it broadcasts audio from multiple TV channels or other audio sources using digital
WiFi transmission. Using the free ListenWiFi App available from the Apple App
Store or Google Play, students can bring their own WiFi-enabled device and
headphones or ear buds and easily switch audio channels with the flick of a
thumb. ISP connectivity also provides Internet access for customers connected
to the ListenWiFi network.
“The ListenWiFi and
server settings were preconfigured, and the system let us customize and manage
our channel names, so it was easy to install and set up. We have seen excellent
performance, with minimal channel-switching delays, less than 2 seconds,” said James
Gulke of High-Tech Electric, the point person on the project.
