ALAMEDA, USA December 19, 2024 Sport Lisboa e Benfica, one of the most prestigious Portuguese football clubs, has partnered with Clear-Com to upgrade the communications system at the Est dio da Luz, ensuring seamless coordination across all operational teams within the stadium. The upgrade addresses key communication challenges, including radio coverage issues in critical areas such as the pitch entrance tunnel and bench area, which are enclosed by thick safety glass, as well as providing comprehensive coverage across the entire pitch and fan zone.
To meet these demands, Clear-Com collaborated closely with local Partner Decimagem to support a proof of concept test during a live game. The test utilized Clear-Com's FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks and IP transceivers, which successfully provided the necessary coverage even in the stadium's most challenging areas. Est dio da Luz, which opened in 2003 and seats over 65,000 spectators, presented a complex environment with its multiple tiers of seating and a central control room situated on the third tier. Despite these challenges, only two Clear-Com transceivers were required to deliver full coverage, including in the pitch entrance tunnel where player interviews frequently take place.
Following the successful trial, further discussions led to the implementation of a comprehensive communication system based on Clear-Com's 32-port Arcadia Central Station. This system supports four HelixNet IP-based speaker stations strategically placed in the control room and other key locations. Additionally, a dozen FreeSpeak II beltpacks and headsets were deployed, divided into groups for camera operators, LED display wall support, and the Benfica Experience team.
To extend communications capabilities even further, the Arcadia system was connected to an LQ Series IP Interface, enabling up to eight users to connect via Clear-Com's Agent-IC mobile app. This allows mobile users to maintain communication in areas covered by Benfica's extensive Wi-Fi 6 network, including the fan zone outside the stadium. The Agent-IC app also offers coverage in areas without Wi-Fi via cellular networks, ensuring robust and reliable communication during match days.
Benfica's existing intercom system was also integrated into the new setup using Arcadia's latest firmware release and IV Direct feature, w
