I researched this for a big alumni event on campus last year.  We didn't 
use any of the products, so I can't speak to how the company is to work 
with in the end, but here are my notes:

Fre Flow (A Sony company/product)

•	650’ range per transmitter
o	Multiple transmitters can be used
•	$6-$8 per participant
o	wristbands
o	glowsticks
•	5000 minimum order (But ask if we need fewer)
•	$1000 fee per transmitter
o	Transmitter is pre-programmed and sent to us.  Local programmer does 
the actual programming
•	10 groups per transmitter (group people by demographic, seat location, 
etc)
o	5 DMX channels per group (RGBW + Strobe)
o	Multiple transmitters increase the groups x 10


PixMob
