Ingenuity of Multitone’s technicians showcased at James Bond 007 Tech exhibition in Chicago.
For more than 60 years, James Bond has shaken and stirred audiences on screens from Sean Connery’s Dr. No through to Daniel Craig in No Time To Die. 007 is synonymous with high tech spyware, and now for the first time ever fans can get to see these amazing movie props on display, including Multitone’s ‘Personal Call’ Pocket Paging System, used by Bond in From Russia with Love in 1963.
007 Science: Inventing the World of James Bond is a new exhibition which opened in March 2024 at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, USA. It delves into the real science behind Bond’s extraordinary gadgets. Multitone launched its imaginative and creative paging system in 1962, a year before the movie’s release, and it was so advanced that the genius minds behind James Bond adopted it.
Beyond the action, Bond’s legacy lies also in his adaptability. Throughout the years, he has seamlessly transitioned from the Cold War tensions of the early films to the high-tech threats of the modern era. Multitone’s product solutions have also adapted and changed too, meeting the needs of its clients from the 1930s through to the 2020s – and beyond.
The James Bond exhibition is not just a trip down memory lane for gadget enthusiasts; it’s a reminder that the line between fiction and reality is constantly blurring. For Multitone, that’s an exciting challenge as it develops the next generation of critical communication solutions that would make even Q jealous.
Providing rapid, reliable and secure communications has for several decades been the key driver behind Multitone’s delivery and success. Multitone revolutionised critical hospital communications with their invention of pagers in 1956. Medical staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals in London were the first to use them, promptly receiving alerts for emergency situations.
Fast forward to today and Multitone is delivering a range of innovative solutions that leverage cutting-edge cloud technologies, ensuring fast paced communication, including:
- The EkoTek family of products, providing lone worker emergency and nurse call portable safety alarms; battery-operated, self-healing wireless mesh network.
- Smart App solutions such as Messenger and Appear. The Multitone i-Message system facilitates and logs these secure communication solutions, whether on-premises or in the Cloud.
- Asset tracking solutions using RFID tracking technology and workflow software, helping organisations to keep track of their assets; saving time and money.
And if the 007 Science geniuses were allowed to take a peek into today’s Multitone development labs, what would they want to adopt for the next James Bond movie?
