Riedel Networks has struck a partnership with Bahrain-based digital solutions provider Kalaam Carrier Solutions, with the aim of enhancing the MENA region’s motor sports with a robust, permanent network infrastructure.
‘Collaborating with Riedel Networks on this endeavour has allowed Kalaam to continue to cater to strategic industries and mission-critical projects within the GCC, such as the world’s largest motorsports events, where quality and performance of the connectivity solution is paramount for success,’ says Kalaam Group CEO, Veer Passi. ‘By integrating our carrier-agnostic approach with Riedel’s expertise, we have set the stage for continued excellence and groundbreaking advancements in the dynamic realm of global connectivity.’
Begun in late 2022, the project required a swift turnaround, with everything in place by mid-February 2023. It was completed within three months, with the first stage of Kalaam’s proposed plan having already reduced the round-trip delay from Riedel’s Milan POP to the Middle East POP from 120ms to 70ms, representing a 41 per cent improvement. Moreover, a new POP in Manama, Bahrain, enables Riedel to use fully Kalaam’s wholly owned terrestrial cable system, Kalaam Network Optical Transit (KNOT), to cover additional countries including Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), Kuwait (Kuwait City), Qatar (Doha) and the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai).
‘Kalaam Carrier Solutions aligned perfectly with our criteria for a partner, bringing not just technological expertise but also a commitment to seamless collaboration and an unwavering focus on achieving our shared goals,’ says Riedel Networks CEO, Michael Martens. ‘This collaboration has fortified our network infrastructure and laid the foundation for future endeavours.’
