Riedel facilitates intercommunication between the sports venues of the University of Georgia

The Artist and Bolero wireless solutions are the axes of the communications infrastructure between the different campuses of this American institution to speed up live broadcasts, video presentations, promotions, etc.

The University of Georgia It is the main research university of this US state and one of the oldest public institutions in the country, who is a member of the Division 1 of the Southeastern Conference of College Sports, where it competes in nineteen modalities and whose teams have won more than forty national championships.

In this sense, the University of Georgia Athletic Association (University of Georgia Athletic Association UGA) has completed the expansion project of its communications infrastructure, based on the Digital Artist system Riedel, which now fully integrates the multiple sports facilities on its campuses to streamline linear and live broadcasts of sporting events.

Its reliability and sound quality are unmatched, since they are critical factors for events with 90.000 fans cheering. Besides, when connecting wirelessly, we can save money on cabling infrastructure, and the possibility of saving presets for each event is fantastic, freeing engineering staff for other tasks”.
