Parliament of Luxembourg: Chamber of Deputies Moves from Analog to Digital

Luxembourg is a modern, cosmopolitan, lively city on a human scale, where the marks left by the past merge with a contemporary world on the move. Within the city, the Chamber of Deputies (Chambre des Députés) is the unicameral national legislature of Luxembourg, made up of 60 seats. Deputies are elected to serve five-year terms by proportional representation in four multi-seat constituencies.

Clockaudio is proud to be an integral part of this prestigious installation at the Luxembourg Parliament, and thanks ProdyTel Distribution and Sittig for their contribution to this case study.

THE CHALLENGE

Moving the Chamber of Deputies from Analog to Digital

The Chamber of Deputies (Chambre des Députés), the unicameral national legislature of Luxembourg with 60 seats, needed a full renovation. The project touched multiple aspects of the facility, requiring not only that the furniture be updated and changed, but that the conference technology — which was still analog — be thoroughly modernized.

An important condition was building in flexibility so the space could double as an additional reception room and support other events of the Grand Duke, meaning all communication technology had to be easy to remove and simple to re-install with minimal effort. Reliability of the communication and A/V systems was paramount, as these systems enable deputies to seamlessly communicate, work on documents, use the internet, and vote with the new system. An additional requirement was that the microphones needed to operate autonomously, without the entire system being started.

  • Replace an entirely analog conference technology system with a modern digital one
  • Build in flexibility so the chamber could double as a reception room and event space for the Grand Duke
  • Make all communication technology easy to remove and simple to re-install with minimal effort
  • Ensure microphones could operate autonomously without powering up the entire system
  • Support deputy log-in via PIN, document work, internet access, and electronic voting
THE SOLUTION

Clockaudio C34E Halo RF Goosenecks with Network-Based Biamp Tesira DSP

Installing company Sittig programmed special software for the Parliament that allows deputies to communicate, vote via a touchscreen, and control all of the equipment in the environment. Deputies log in to the system with a PIN, which also serves as an attendance control.

Sittig relied on the conference technology of industry leaders and project partners Clockaudio and Biamp. Using network-based products and cabling, wiring costs and time were substantially reduced, and the chamber space could be used flexibly.

  • 90 Clockaudio C34E Halo RF gooseneck microphones with individual activation switch buttons
  • 2 Biamp Tesira Server-IO AVB units networked with 20 Tesira EX-IN, 21 Tesira EX-LOGIC, 3 Tesira SIC 4, and 4 Tesira SOC 4 modules
  • Custom Sittig-programmed software for communication, PIN-based login/attendance, and touchscreen voting
  • Network-based cabling architecture reducing wiring costs and installation time while preserving room flexibility
