Kalaam Carrier Solutions (KCS) has called on Riedel Networks to support its networking requirements for motorsport events across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The provision covers real-time data transfer and broadcasting for one of the most data-driven sports in the world, with the partnership running through 2023 and beyond.
‘We collaborated with Riedel to go beyond what was previously available to motorsport teams and deliver a solution that is robust, reliable, and future-ready to meet growing demands,’ said Veer Passi, Group CEO at Kalaam Telecom, the wholesale division of Kalaam Telecom Group. ‘Our people, precision, and performance are a great fit for Riedel and demonstrate the value of our global network to develop, custom connectivity solutions that meet customer needs in the MENA region.’
In collaboration with Riedel Networks and its strategic national partners, KCS provides multiservice connectivity from racetracks in the Middle East to partners in Europe and Asia. Riedel Networks uses KCS as a point of presence (POP) in the region, allowing the company to connect to its global POPs in Europe and Asia with ultra-low latency service-level assurances.
The solution primarily uses the Kalaam Network Optical Transit (KNOT) cable system, a 1,400km terrestrial network that spans Kuwait, Bahrain, KSA, UAE and Qatar. This comprehensive network will enable racing teams to seamlessly share data from the cars and drivers while supporting social media platforms and broadcasters.
The POP went operational in time for the start of the current motorsports season, with Riedel Networks’ environmentally friendly technology reducing round-trip delay between Europe and race tracks in the MENA region by more than 15 per cent.
‘Riedel Networks prides itself on delivering the highest quality of services to our clients,’ says Riedel Networks CEO, Michael Martens. ‘Thanks to Kalaam Carrier Solutions’ innovative thinking, robust connectivity, and consistent experience across multiple markets in the Middle East, Riedel now benefits from a secure network with control over its design so that it can deliver the services our global customers have come to expect since we started serving the motorsports industry in 2006.’
