Spielberg, Austria – 25 August, 2023 – SYES, a leading technology company specializing in telecommunications solutions, is pleased to support ORS group (Austrian Broadcasting Services) in transmitting the Austrian Moto GP 2023 in Spielberg using state-of-the-art 5G Broadcast technology.
As part of MotoGP™, the world’s most exciting motorsport, last weekend the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria became a test track for the innovative transmission technology 5G Broadcast, which will enable the audience at the race track to follow live content from various camera perspectives directly on their mobiles in the future.
During the tests, several signals, including the Servus TV signal and onboard camera perspectives of the riders, were transmitted directly to 5G Broadcast-enabled smartphones at the race track. The latency between the live experience and the live stream on the mobiles was measured. The test users of the prototype smartphones were thus able to enjoy a unique live experience at the race track for the first time.
With its latest transmitter with 5G Broadcast capability SYES provided a local broadcast of the event signals which were utilized by ORS’ Nakolos team for its new mobile end-to-end solution for live events, such as sport events, concerts and festivals.
The test demonstrated that 5G Broadcast is perfectly suited to enable viewers to watch the action in real time on their mobiles or tablets at events with a large audience – in this case a crowd of nearly 100,000 – with relatively small effort. With latencies measured well below one second (glass-to-glass), the test was completed successfully, which makes ORS and SYES have a positive outlook on future applications:
“After the successful test at the Donauinselfest, we have demonstrated at the MotoGP™ at Red Bull Ring that with 5G Broadcast event technology, many people can simultaneously follow the action at the race track without any loss of quality. With ORS’ mobile setup, temporary 5G Broadcast coverage at sporting events, concerts or festivals is thus possible at any time”, so ORS Managing Director Michael Wagenhofer.
“We were thrilled to collaborate with ORS to bring the live action of the Austrian Moto GP 2023 to audiences like never seen before,” said Gianluca Baccalini, Sales Director of SYES. “By harnessing the power of 5G Broadcast technology, we aim to revolutionize the way sport events, concerts and festivals are broadcasted, providing fans with a truly immersive viewing experience.”
