Simultaneous interpretation can also be provided using a portable transmitter and receivers. This setup allows interpreters to listen and speak simultaneously, and participants to follow the meeting in their own language, without the need for a booth. This solution is ideal for meetings where the participants need to move around, such as during interactive workshops or the launch of a new business facility. 

​

Advantages:

​

• Mobility: portable equipment allows interpreters to move freely.

​​

• Flexibility: this method can easily adapt to various locations and setups, making it suitable for smaller or informal events where a booth might not be practical.

​​

• Cost-effectiveness: using portable equipment can reduce logistical costs, as less space and fewer resources are needed than setting up booths.

​

Disadvantages:

​

• Noise interference: the lack of soundproof conditions can disrupt interpretation quality.

​​

• Limited collaboration:  interpreters miss out on real-time collaboration and support from colleagues.
