In this project, systems designed and made by LDA Audio Tech have been used.<\/p>\n

This project has meant applying all the standards required by this regulation to the sound system for 1 million square meters, using 385,640 watts distributed in electroacoustic and amplification systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All these elements are managed through a control equipment certified under the EN 54 standard, able of broadcasting up to 52 simultaneous and different evacuation messages<\/strong>, and backed by a customized management software that allows operating over the venue system, fully scalable and expandable<\/strong> so that more areas can be added depending on the future needs of IFEMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s main objectives required, on the one hand, to strictly comply with the regulations through their technical specifications, which apply to the fair because it is a building with an occupation that exceeds 500 people and, on the other, to guarantee a good performance of the installation using a robust and certified system. All this to cover the needs of one of the major fair institutions in Europe, with more than 4 million visitors a year.<\/p>\n

Ruybesa Global Technologies<\/a> is the integrator company assigned as a contractor for this project, which has been carried out using advanced LDA Audio Tech systems. Ruybesa Global Technologies has more than 40 years of experience, having previously installed audiovisual and public address solutions in IFEMA, while LDA Audio Tech is a pioneer in Spain in the design and manufacture of EN 54 certified solutions, used in facilities in more than 50 countries around the world<\/a>. GHESA Ingenier\u00eda y Tecnolog\u00eda<\/a> was the engineering company responsible for the project and site supervision.<\/p>\n

With this large project, IFEMA continues a process of technological transformation within its philosophy of ongoing innovation <\/strong>and its strategic growth plan. Under this line of work is the recent achievement of the AENOR Emergency Management certification<\/strong>, as well as the improvement of security systems, the renewal of the Wi-Fi network, capable of simultaneously connecting up to 65,000 users, or the installation of latest generation 5G technology in the venue.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″]

Guaranteed safety in the whole venue<\/h3>\n

The new public address and voice alarm system is supported on the fully redundant data network <\/strong>installed in IFEMA, working as a communications base infrastructure. From there, each of the EN 54 systems, both in the pavilions and in the other locations, can operate locally and independently.<\/p>\n

This way, if the data network goes down, messages could be emitted from each communication room, either directly through the microphone or with prerecorded audio, stored in the equipment itself.<\/p>\n

The central control system<\/strong> is based on redundant servers, so that the failure of any equipment does not entail the loss of any installation functionality, thus guaranteeing the security of the fair in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

These are some of the relevant figures for this installation:<\/p>\n
