Berlin's Boulevard der Stars
Germany - LumenRadio's CRMX wireless system recently helped Berlin's Boulevard der Stars to put on a permanent and spectacular shine. The 350m long installation on Potsdamer Straße encourages visitors to engage with the stars and with each other in an interactive environment. The concept honours personalities who have made major contributions to German cinema in a setting inspired by four key elements from a movie premier; the red carpet, stars, cameras and lights.

German-American architects GRAFT and Berlin studio for media design ART+COM, the two entities that developed the overall concept, brought in local lighting designer Wolfgang Kunwald from Büro für Daten & Lichttechnik KG to commission a lighting system appropriate for the task.

"Digging up a large portion of the always busy Potsdamer Straße was not an option. A wireless system became the only practical solution and LumenRadio's CRMX was the sole system with specifications to meet our extremely demanding requirements," says system and lighting designer Wolfgang Kunwald. "The CRMX products and LumenRadio delivered on their promise of solid reliability and support and were critical to the huge success of this very ambitious project."

"This is a large and complex installation in a dense urban area with heavy foot and vehicle traffic surrounded by commercial buildings with extensive wireless systems," says Anders Ardstål, VPO of LumenRadio. "The CRMX Automated Cognitive Coexistence is key to success is such a challenging environment. We worked closely with Wolfgang and used about thirty CRMX Outdoor units to design a system that provides seamless and reliable wireless DMX coverage throughout the area."
