The communication
and security experts have linked the persisting wireless signal
interference in Nigeria to absence of expertise or weak regulatory
mechanism from the relevant agencies.
This was one of the highlights of the just concluded
"Energy of Sound Conference 2016" in Abuja, organised by the Acti-Tech
Ltd and its German counterpart, Bayerdynamics.
According to the
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Acti-Tech Ltd, Engr.
Peter Madu, Nigeria does not enforce or comply with a uniform frequency
leading to the interference and disruption of wireless signals in the
country.
"The problem of wireless signal interference in the country
is as a result of weak or absence of regulatory mechanisms. This is
more so in the consumer products category such as wireless microphones
and routers, which can be a source of nuisance to other users," Madu
explained.
Speaking on the
conference, he explained that the aim is to ensure a long-term
technology transfer and introduction of quality products in sound system
and other communication products that can stand the taste of time.
He said: "We don’t want a country that will continue to
grow in consumption of technologies but bring the manufacturers closer
to the people, interact with our people, deepen their knowledge and
experience in these products and have their own visions and dreams.
"Every great
enterprise starts with a dream. You can see it in the close up
discussion and interaction with manufacturers we expect that Nigerians
will go with the dream that they too can start from somewhere. You saw
the history of Beyerdynamic. It didn’t start big and technology transfer
primarily the target and then product availability."
"We have become a
dumping ground for fake products. What we are doing is not just
technology transfer but also knowledge of alternatives that will meet
our needs without issues every now and then, which is usually costly in
the end.
He said that
Nigeria is a huge market of 170 million people but needs the right
infrastructural development, constant power supply, conducive and
environmental regulatory framweork to maximise its potentials.
According to
Madu, "the maiden ‘Energy of Sound Conference West Africa’ organised in
partnership with the leading manufacturer of Professional Audio Systems,
Beyerdynamic GmbH of Germany", will help to bring the right technology
to the country.
"Energy of Sound
West Africa 2016 provides you with the opportunity to be acquainted with
the most current products in Public Address Systems, Sound Engineering,
Conferencing, and Multimedia Presentation Systems. It is a platform for
interacting with high ranking professionals, decision makers and
solutions providers from all over the country and the sub region," he
said.
Also speaking, the Managing Director, Global Sales and
Marketing, Beyerdynamics, Mr. Robert Winterhoff, said that "Nigeria is a
thriving country" for quality products.
Winterhoff said that low quality microphone, audio systems
and communications technology have caused a lot of embarrassment to
leaders and organisers of events.
"We are known for quality technology and bringing you some
of the best products in the world. I am not in a business of cost but of
quality and quality becomes cheaper over time."
