Beijing Foton Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd (BFDA) installed Listen Technologies ListenRF wireless simultaneous interpretation system and ListenPortable audio tour guide system. The system enabled the tour group leader to deliver clear sound and clarity to every visitor without interference, enhancing the effectiveness of the tour. 

Full Case Study
People are much more engaged because they actually hear details including everyone’s questions. The group is much safer — often there is a construction zone, and I can point out trip hazards much better. I’m able to raise more money because people are so much more engaged. I have been surprised by how effective these have been — even in very small groups.
Quinn Dietlein Hale Centre Theatre, Development Director
We wanted to provide an immersive experience. To help executives understand what the manufacturing process is really like, we invited them to don hard hats and steel-toed boots and needed a communication system that would complement this approach and help keep them in the moment.
Adam Wilson Blue Buffalo, IT Infrastructure Engineer
ListenTALK does exactly what it says it does. It’s straightforward, easy to use and effective. I would definitely recommend the product.
