Communication Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We give and configure two-way radio, intercom and IFB packages scaled to your crew size and the spread of your locations across Morocco. Our team handles channel planning, gear distribution and on-site testing. It draws on the in-country comms inventory built up around Casablanca and Ouarzazate over decades of servicing global shoots. For sprawling exterior work — multi-unit shoots between Ait Benhaddou, the Merzouga dunes and an Atlas Mountains base — we deploy repeaters and long-range handsets to hold coverage across distances that defeat standard line-of-sight radios. Walled medinas in Marrakech and Fes. The thick stone of standing sets at Atlas Studios, create their own dead zones, so we survey locations in advance where possible and program priority channels per department before the gear reaches set.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Radio-frequency use for wireless comms, IFB and talkback in Morocco is covered by the ANRT (Agence Nationale de Reglementation des Telecommunications), and we set up the short-term frequency allocations and compliance records a production needs before any wireless system goes live. This matters most on multi-unit shoots where channel congestion across camera, sound and planning teams must be planned against the locally licensed range.

Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, A note for shoots planning aerial planning: drones in Morocco are genuinely off-limits — they need advance sign-off from the CCM, the civil aviation authority (the DGAC) and often military clearance, and drone hardware imported without pre-clearance can be held at customs by the ADII. We flag those lead times early so comms planning for an aerial unit does not stall the schedule. All gear hire from Moroccan vendors is billed in dirham (MAD) and counts toward the CCM 30% cash rebates on qualifying spend.
