When is portable simultaneous equipment a good choice?

Portable systems, sometimes called “bidule” or mini systems, provide a booth-free and wireless solution. They are ideal for smaller events, short meetings, or situations where participants are mobile, such as tours or site visits.
This eliminates the pauses associated with consecutive interpreting, resulting in more dynamic communication. For larger and longer events, however, the traditional booth and fixed equipment setup provides greater comfort for interpreters and participants, ensuring optimal concentration and engagement.
