Wireless Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We give and configure complete wireless system packages — wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, comms networks and wireless video links — scaled to the communication and audio-distribution needs of each production. Prague's mature gear ecosystem, the backbone of the 'Hollywood of the East', supports large-scale RF builds with dozens of channels across many departments, the kind of planning routine on the Barrandov stages and on location across Prague, Brno and Karlovy Vary.

Here is the short of it. Our team runs a RF survey of each site, designs an integrated solution and tests each link before the shooting day. For specialty wireless hardware not held in-country, kit moves freely by road from Germany and Austria within the EU single market and Schengen, with no carnet needed for EU transport.

Here is the breakdown. Each wireless link on a Czech production sits within EU-harmonised UHF range covered by the Czech Telecommunication Office (CTU). This allocates frequencies for wireless microphones, IFB, comms and video links. We scan each location, identify clean frequencies within legal range and document the channel plan so audio, video and lens-control systems operate without trouble. Where shoots also fly drones for aerial links, those operations fall under the Civil Aviation Authority (Urad pro civilni letectvi / UCL) and EU/EASA rules.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The land-based climate shapes RF logistics: cold, snowy winters shorten battery life across transmitters and beltpacks, so crews manage spare-cell rotation. Non-EU shoots importing wireless hardware clear ATA Carnets through Czech Customs (Celni sprava), with Vaclav Havel Airport Prague the main air-cargo gateway. Wireless hire from Czech vendors counts toward qualifying spend under the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebates, invoiced in Czech koruna with 21% VAT.
