TESTIMONIALS

"I've found the system beneficial to my students' understanding of what I am saying and also to reduce the strain on my voice"

Teacher - Ruislip High School
"I feel there has been a positive effect on the students' overall achievement as I have experienced fewer behavioural problems since using the REDCAT"

Miss Snowden, English Teacher, Dormers Wells High School
"I found that the REDCAT system was easy to use and a real benefit in PSHE and Food lessons"

Carol Gadsden, Life Skills / Food Teacher, The Harefield Academy
"I think it is a great system"

Don McGibbon, Year 5 Teacher, Brecknock Primary
"An excellent piece of equipment. The children that tend to not fully hear instructions, as they sit at the back of the classroom, were able to hear what was being said. After using the system I felt that my voice was quieter and that my throat was not sore."

Mel, Year 4 Teacher, Minet Junior School
"Children are quick to tell the teacher if the REDCAT isn't on. It is a great way to practice songs for performances"

Year 5 Teacher, Donnington Primary
"I think one of the most positive aspects of using the system was that I could speak at a more conversational level with the whole class, which allowed a more positive environment to develop"

Teacher, Ruislip High School

White Paper by Shaun Fagan, Product Manager, Lightspeed Technologies

Overview
The success of any classroom wireless microphone system lies in the transmitter-receiver technology. A signal carried over infrared light offers several advantages over Radio Frequency systems, such as its immunity to outside RF interference, the elimination of "cross-talk" when using multiple systems in the same building, and being freed from frequency management hassles. Infrared technology is clearly the best choice for classrooms of today and tomorrow.
