Tune of the San Fermin festivity

OLALLA CERNUDA

Pamplona residents, have been signing the festivity song for ages. But, this year the song has been adapted to modern technology. Durning the summer, cell phone users will be able to download the song to their mobile phones. How?, very easy, by being close to one of the 199 San Miguel Beer trucks, which, besides distributing beer, will distribute the song.

How? Anyone with bluetooth technology in their cell phone, will be able to download the song, for free. Bluetooth devices have been installed in 199 beer distribution trucks, this allows sending the song to cell phonbe users that get as close to the the truck, as a radio of 10mts. The way it works, is that the Bluetooth device installed in each truck searches for cell phones with activated bluetooth. When the device detects a cell phone with bluetooth, automatically asks for permission to accept the audio content. If the user accepts, then he downloads the file with the song. In the case that the cell phone user is not interested in downloading the song, then the downloading does not take place, and the system will not ask for permission again.

SITmobile has equipped 199 distribution trucks with Bluetooth devices and the song. This task has not been an easy one.

SITmobile had to adapt Bluetooth devices to high temperaturas, since the installation goes in the trucks glove compartment. This compartment is usually exposed to very high temperatures. They also had to manufacture an adaptor to get electricty from the trucks lighter output … «A very complicated job. We had people cutting cords and wrapping devices with thermic tape, etc. for 10 days.

It took four kilometers of tape, 1,5 kilometers of cord, 30 square metres of expanded polyethylene, 9.000 screws, 14.000 mobile devices, 200 integrated circuits, 200 car lighter adaptors and 200 sealed bags.

Each truck had a device installed and each device was associated to the trucks licence plate, so they could be monitorized. www.sanmiguel.es
