The end of isolation on the field
Seamless, real-time communication
Thanks to the full-duplex communication of VOKKERO systems, referees can exchange information continuously without pressing a button, unlike traditional walkie-talkies. This seamless flow transforms their coordination: the video assistant referee can flag a contentious action, the central referee can ask for clarification, the assistant referee on the line monitors offsides and fouls, and the fourth official manages communication with substitutes and the scorer’s table all in real time, with no delay.
Collaborative decision-making
In team sports like football, rugby, or handball (and many others), the central referee is no longer alone. They collaborate in real time with their entire officiating team, helping reduce errors, unify decision-making, and improve consistency from one match to the next.
A concrete response to the pressure of major events
Intercom with patented noise filter: stay focused, even under pressure
The VOKKERO intercom features a patented noise filter that shields officials from surrounding sounds: crowd chants, stadium announcements, player shouts. This exclusive technology ensures clear, interference-free communication even in the loudest environments. An essential asset that helps referees stay focused and effective during high-intensity matches and international competitions.
A robust and secure technology
Data encryption, long battery life, and reliability across all terrains: VOKKERO provides technology designed to meet the demands of professional officiating far beyond the limitations of consumer-grade walkie-talkies.
Better synergy with video: VAR, TMO, replay…
The referee at the center of a connected ecosystem
VOKKERO is not limited to audio. It integrates with video assistant referee (VAR) systems, video replay tools, and TMO equipment (rugby). This interoperability streamlines communication between on-field referees and video officials.
Increased transparency for spectators and players
Better understanding of decisions, clearer adherence to the VAR protocol, and fewer misunderstandings: technology restores credibility to officiating. It also enables referees to explain their choices more easily to players and coaches, strengthening acceptance and trust.
When technology becomes ongoing training
The referee becomes a “technician” of the game
Today, mastering a professional intercom system and knowing how to collaborate in a video-assisted environment are key criteria for reaching the highest levels of refereeing. This encourages governing bodies to integrate these tools right from the training phase.
A profession in transition
The role of the referee is becoming more collective, more connected, and more strategic. It’s no longer just about judging, but about coordinating, communicating, and interacting within a complex technical setup. Thanks to VOKKERO systems, which are easy to deploy, this change becomes an opportunity.
Technology doesn’t replace the referee; it strengthens them. It supports their decisions, helps improve collaboration, and restores their authority in an increasingly demanding environment.
The future of refereeing is shaped by professional tools like VOKKERO, already adopted in over 25 sports worldwide.
