The University of Swansea first to purchase headset free communications system
The University of Swansea is the first to purchase Merlin's headset free comunications system.
Due to the Coronavirus universities are understandably worried about students touching/using laboratory practical equipment.
Merlin have designed a headset free pilot/instructor station communication system upgrade for their range of academic engineering flight simulators, eliminating the need for a headset and mic.
The first of these upgrades have been installed at The University of Swansea, U.K. Jane Wallace, who is in charge of the simulation laboratory at Swansea said:- "The new Merlin System works perfectly. We are delighted to be able to offer our students practical simulator experience in these difficult times".
Other universities in the UK and the USA have also now ordered the upgrade.
