Firelinx Did it at "Do It"
WPA "DO IT" at MESQUITE
October 15, 2004

Firelinx President David Russell participated in the DoIt seminar on firing systems, displaying prototypes of the new Firelinx Command Module and Firing Modules to the attendees. The focus of the discussion was to introduce the various types of systems, including the WPA’s PyroMate manual system as well as several other wireless remotes.

Mr. Russell explained the reasons why standard wireless remotes are not appropriate for choreographed show firing, that traditional wireless architectures cannot guarantee that a cue will fire exactly when it is supposed to. He then demonstrated how Firelinx uses a new wireless radio and communications system (patent pending) designed from the ground up for wireless pyrotechnic choreography. The short demo showed how several different independent firing modules could work together to perform split-second and simultaneous cue firing.

Later that evening a short show choreographed to music was fired entirely by the Firelinx system. While the system is still under development, DoIt provided a fertile ground for discussions with potential customers that will impact the design of the final system, and an additional opportunity to fully test the latest revision of the Firelinx hardware and software. The equipment performed perfectly. Our thanks to all of the participants who helped to set up and wire the demo.
