The brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The nuclear teams in the field have noted communication problems when working without telephony. They have to shout and gesture<\/mark> to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication is not fluid<\/mark>. This results in a significant loss of time<\/mark>, a lack of consultation and stress during the intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The deployed solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have deployed the <\/mark>VOKKERO GUARDIAN<\/mark><\/a> <\/mark>at SOCOTEC FORMATION NUCLEAIRE sites. The VOKKERO GUARDIAN ensures smooth, efficient communication between speakers by filtering out ambient noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The variety of headset microphones \n VOKKERO GUARDIAN<\/mark>\n<\/a> headset range enables specialist nuclear teams to communicate instantly and in full duplex during operations, while wearing ventilated waterproof suits or outfits, without being hindered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Smooth, efficient communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The noise filter in the audio communication system \n \n VOKKERO GUARDIAN<\/mark>\n <\/strong>\n<\/a> audio communication system enables conversation partners to concentrate solely on the information being conveyed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Adaptability and security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wireless and discreet, the \n \n VOKKERO GUARDIAN<\/strong>\n <\/mark>\n<\/a> is compatible with the mandatory outfits worn by nuclear teams, without interfering with their work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Optimization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clear communication during operations saves considerable time and makes operators more operational, while reducing the risks to which they are exposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

“We noticed that conversations were fluid. We were able to secure all the information. We didn’t have to do gymnastics with our arms and fingers to understand each other”.<\/p>Eric De Restrepo,Director SOCOTEC Nuclear Training \u2013 Rungis<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

“The use of the VOKKERO system in ventilated helmet and ventilated dry suit training courses means that we can offer this simple, effective communication system and optimize the safety and radiation protection of on-site personnel”.<\/p>Pierre Kwiatkowski,Director, SOCOTEC Nuclear Training \u2013 Dunkirk<\/mark> <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>
