Riedel Communications has been named the official supplier of motor sports telecommunications for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).
After a two-decade relationship between the two organisations, Riedel will now supply the FIA with hardware and software technologies to take safety, sustainability, and innovation across all global FIA championship series to the next level. ‘The FIA’s decision to name Riedel as an official supplier of its motor sports communication is a result of a trusted relationship over two decades,’ says FIA Secretary General for Sport and FIA F1 Executive Director, Peter Bayer. ‘It illustrates our shared commitment to use the most advanced technologies, with the safety and sustainability requirements that we have for all our championships.’
Communications and signal distribution solutions provided by Riedel for FIA motor sports events include the MediorNet distributed video infrastructures, which combine signal transport, routing, processing, and conversion in a redundant real-time network; the scalable Artist digital intercom network; Bolero wireless intercom system; and a variety of specialised headsets and handheld radios.
‘Over the past 20 years, FIA and Riedel have been constantly inspiring one another to push the envelope of innovation even further,’ says CEO, and founder of Riedel Group, Thomas Riedel. ‘We’re thrilled to be officially joining the FIA’s efforts to promote higher safety standards and the latest technology in the world of motor sports, making the lives of pilots, teams, officials, and the entire racing community both easier and safer.’
‘Our intelligent systems are engineered to work seamlessly with one another, so a unified Riedel infrastructure will bring significant added value to both drivers and officials,’ adds Riedel Managed Technology CEO, Lutz Rathmann.
