Managed Sports Services

As a technology company, Riedel embraces thebroadcast innovations that are an inherent partof sports productions.
Every-day events make use of readily available
technologies to handle signal distribution for video,audio, data, and communications. But today’s sports
productions require more and more sophisticatedtechnologies and infrastructures that can often
require high levels of customization. Well awareof this new media landscape, event producers andsportscasters must now adapt their approaches
by demanding technologies that are able to keep
pace with these changing requirements. Only in thisway can the uniqueness of each sport be properly
showcased to the viewers at home. This is themission that Riedel accepts and we strive to become
part of our customers‘ success stories by developing
the innovative new infrastructures and products that
we call “Managed Sports Services”.
Clear communications at 350km/h

Often the size, weight, or functionality of an existing product or technology is not suﬃcient for thechallenging environments where they must perform. For this reason our Managed Sports Services
division develops tailor-made products that are suitable for very speciﬁc applications.
From crew communications and wireless video for professional motorsports (F1 and DTM), air races (RedBull) and even mission-critical projects like the Stratos jump, our resume now includes services for refereecommunications. For this challenging new requirement, Managed Sports Services has developed customized
hardware and software in combination with providing dedicated Riedel engineers, both on-site and remotely,
to ensure the smooth implementation of our services.
