2010 Football World Cup
Our VOK-REF05 will equip the best worldwide soccer referees in South Africa !
It’s difficult to get away from the Football World Cup in South Africa. The whole world has its eyes focused on this planetary event with its massive sporting and financial challenges. The qualified teams are in the starting blocks, ready to do battle. But there’s another group of people who are just as important, who are starting to feel the pressure of the event: the referees. In a situation in which every little action is scrutinised, analysed and commented on, they’re not allowed any mistakes, as their decisions could have disastrous consequences.
The refereeing teams prepare like real professionals. They leave nothing to chance and seek to reduce the risk of errors to the minimum. The team’s concentration, coolness, speed and cohesion are key factors in their success, and these are made possible by a system – THE refereeing system - the VOK-REF 05.
This communication system is popular with the highest sporting authorities and, following its use in the 2006 World Cup, will be in use for the first ever World Cup organised on the African continent. It has already been used successfully in the Champions League and the leading football leagues in Europe (England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France ...) and worldwide (Mexico, South Africa, Africa, Korea ...).
In practical terms, it enables the referee and linesmen to remain in permanent contact and to intervene rapidly together. Communication is totally full duplex. Everyone can talk at the same time without having to press a Push-To-Talk button (PTT) first.
The other advantage of theVOK-REF 05 system is that it contains a very effective noise filter that is particularly suitable for these specific environments. For example, the noise coming from spectators (applause, whistles, shouts, national anthems, etc…) or their instruments (whistles, trumpets, “Vuvuzelas”, etc …) are totally filtered.
Another interesting aspect of the VOK-REF 05 system is that communication is encrypted. This is a key point for referees who want to keep their discussions private and ensure that they are not re-broadcast by the media without their knowledge.
There’s no doubt that this option will be used by the referees selected for the 2010 Football World Cup.
