Biamp Case Study: Perth Police Station
To overcome harsh acoustics and poor speech intelligibility in a busy police station in Perth, Australia, Integrate Perth deployed a Biamp Tesira system with advanced acoustic echo cancellation. The solution dramatically improved audio clarity.

Said Integrate Perth's Andrew Anderson-King, "The Tesira AEC improves everyone’s safety and is now useful for staff training. I can see other applications where mission-critical audio is important, but the acoustic conditions are hostile. For example, Customs and the Border Force could benefit, as could warehousing, and the Port Authority. They could all benefit from Tesira AEC cleaning up recorded speech."
