The client&#8217;s standing platform contract is the operational starting point; Othello does not vendor-direction-sell a specific platform unless the client has no platform and asks for a recommendation.<\/p>\n          <p>What does vary by platform: <strong>RSI channel support, recording controls, audit trail features, security clearance for regulated content<\/strong>. For sensitive content under counsel privilege regime, MS Teams Enterprise or Cisco Webex Enterprise are common defaults because of audit-trail and compliance features. For investor-day-grade RSI, KUDO and Interprefy are common because of multi-language channel and event-management.

The substantive differences are: <strong>(1) acoustic environment<\/strong> \u2014 hub has purpose-built acoustic treatment; qualified home has soft-furnishing-treated working room with verified absence of HVAC noise. <strong>(2) Equipment<\/strong> \u2014 hub uses broadcast-class microphone; qualified home uses professional headset \/ microphone meeting ISO 20109. <strong>(3) Redundancy<\/strong> \u2014 hub has redundant fibre + cellular failover + on-site technical operator; qualified home has dedicated fibre + cellular failover + hub-fallback path. <strong>(4) Paired separation<\/strong> \u2014 hub has adjacent interpreter stations with separate microphone feeds; qualified home runs paired with both interpreters in separate qualified-home locations connected through platform.<\/p>\n          <p>Operationally: for large RSI engagements (multinational AGMs, global investor days, multilateral hearings), <strong>hub setup is the default<\/strong>.

For VRI and OPI, the bench has a documented recovery protocol \u2014 short hold, switch to backup connection, resume. <em>Persistent technical failure beyond recovery<\/em> is rare but documented in the engagement letter: pause, re-establish, resume with platform-side acknowledgement; if irrecoverable, deferred re-engagement on agreed terms.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details class=\"faq\">\n        <summary><span class=\"faq-num\">Q.06<\/span><span>How does working time work for RSI compared to in-person simultaneous?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-body\">\n          <p>RSI working times are <strong>operationally tighter than in-person booth simultaneous<\/strong>.
