The Byron Bay Bluesfest is a premier Australian music festival which has operated for over 32 years.
The radio network D2N provided Blues Fest with was based around a Hytera XPT Digital Repeater package using Hytera HP682 and PD662 digital handhelds.
The system catered for up to 30 talk groups across 500 radios with interfacing of 16 channels to the intercom system.
The intercom package, in turn, was based around the GreenGo range of products with desktop and rackmount panels provided for various teams across the site.
To ensure reliable and seamless comms D2N used hybrid combiners for the repeater network with a pair of transmit antennas. Then, a single receive antenna patched into active multi-couplers ensuring site-wide coverage was achieved and for audio they interfaced all the repeaters into the GreenGo network using their Quad 4 Wire units.
