Network quality & latency
Uncompressed or slightly compressed real-time video, audio, intercom and control data react extremely sensitively to packet loss and jitter - best-effort internet therefore quickly reaches its limits in remote setups. We design bandwidths, QoS classes and latency budgets specifically for your productions so that the control room, technology and automation systems can work reliably in real time and creative decisions do not fail because of the network.
Scaling & flexibility
We connect new locations, stadiums or event locations via various access technologies - from fiber optics and Ethernet to business Internet and LTE/5G. Our SD-WAN overlays can be used to dynamically expand or reduce additional productions, feeds or pop-up studios based on predefined profiles - with recurring designs instead of complex individual solutions.
Redundancy & availability
Physically and logically separated line paths and redundantly designed CPEs form the basis for fail-safe remote productions. Intelligent failover mechanisms (Seamless Protection Switching) and clearly defined time-to-repair targets ensure that the failure of a line does not lead to an interruption in transmission - and give your teams the security they need for demanding live formats.
Security
We use targeted protection mechanisms to secure critical ingest, control and management points of your production networks - for example through DDoS protection, strictly segmented production zones and optional security services such as RIEDEL Enterprise Defense [R.E.D.] including 24/7 security monitoring. This means that remote control rooms, production hubs and connected cloud workloads remain protected without jeopardizing the tight latency requirements of your live productions - and you strengthen your compliance and audit capability at the same time.
Operation & NOC
In our 24/7 NOC, lines, CPEs and central media nodes are permanently monitored; if necessary, we coordinate the carriers and service providers involved directly. For you, this means: a central point of contact, defined escalation processes and proactive incident management- so that your remote productions are not characterized by ticket chaos, but by clear responsibilities and rapid assistance.
Innovative communication solutions with RIEDEL Networks
"With the right partner in business – and in life – even the biggest obstacles can be overcome. RIEDEL has proven to be the right partner, not only in development, but also for all supporting processes. The certainty of having a reliable network and a dependable partner is invaluable to me. I look forward to working with them on a radio solution for racing cars in other competitive areas."
John Steeghs, Senior Manager Team Management and Logistics at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe GmbH
For us, RIEDEL connects two worlds: broadcasting and IT
"When it comes to broadcasting a premier event such as Formula 1, a strong and reliable partnership is an absolute must. We have been working with RIEDEL's RiLink for many years. As soon as the fibre optic cable is connected to our production unit, all systems wake up, immediately connect to their hosts and start sending files or messages."
Friedrich Behringer, Technical Operations Manager, RTL NEWS
To make the impossible possible, you need the right partners who approach the task with the same enthusiasm
"RIEDEL has played a key role in enabling us to showcase our work with this project and position ourselves not only as a traditional supplier, but also as a pioneer in the management and control of complex systems. The entire project was only possible because Schaeffler was able to rely on the support of trusted partners such as RIEDEL. And that's not the end of the story."
Daniel Kohl, Head of IT Technical Development Motorsport
Remote production saves time and energy while reducing our carbon emissions compared to traditional media production
"The network is the foundation of our work, and it had to be operational in 85% of our venues at the start of the season. Today, all venues are connected, and we have already produced more than 400 matches in a very short time via our MPLS network. Of course, a remote production model always presents challenges. For example, the league composition changes every year, and new venues often have to be integrated within a few months. But thanks to the experience we have already gained, Dyn Media and Riedel are ideally positioned to do this quickly and efficiently and to continue to grow."
Andreas Heyden, CEO at Dyn Media GmbH
