Revolutionising Event Safety at The O2 with StewardCall

The O2, an iconic entertainment hub in South East London, is more than just a venue—it's a global destination. With its diverse lineup of concerts, sports events, and comedy shows, The O2 hosts up to 20,000 fans at a time.

However, managing such a vast and vibrant arena comes with unique challenges, particularly when it comes to communication among staff. Inefficient communication can lead to delayed responses, potentially compromising safety and the overall experience. That’s where CST’s revolutionary StewardCall system comes in, offering an unmatched solution that sets a new benchmark in event safety and operational efficiency.

Ensuring Flawless Operations in a Dynamic Environment

The O2 is one of the world’s largest and busiest venues, making effective communication across its sprawling site a daunting task. The stakes are high — delays of even a few seconds can be the difference between a smooth operation and a critical incident. The O2 needed a solution that could bridge the communication gap, streamline operations, and, most importantly, ensure the safety of its visitors.

 

 

 

 

Why StewardCall and Gen 2 Q are the Ultimate Solution for Your Venue

CST’s StewardCall system, complemented by Gen 2 software, offers more than just enhanced communication; it delivers a comprehensive solution that elevates safety, security, and operational efficiency.

Each button on our 5-Button Transmitter is customisable, allowing for pre-programmed, alphanumeric messages that are sent instantly to staff pagers. This ensures immediate, reliable communication, allowing for proactive event management.

StewardCall’s notifications are subtle and non-intrusive, preserving the immersive experience your guests expect while keeping your team alert. Gen 2’s advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities provide deep insights into operational activities, with access to detailed reports on button presses and locations for continuous improvement.

The StewardCall transmitters sends messages to pagers, but more importantly, they alert the Gen 2 control room staff. At any given time, The O2 will have at least five members of staff monitoring the Gen 2 system for activations. When a message is received, the control room staff may escalate the situation by sending a custom message from Gen 2 to a supervisor or a group of pagers on a certain level. In more serious situations, they might pick up a radio to contact relevant staff directly.

With arena-wide coverage and sophisticated data analytics, our system enhances The O2’s safety and efficiency, setting a new standard in event management.
