Riedel Communications has formed a strategic partnership with Racing Electronics, a provider of motorsport communication equipment, to deliver communication solutions for the motorsport industry in the US.
The collaboration brings together Riedel Communications’ intercom technologies, including its Artist-1024 infrastructures and Bolero wireless intercom system, with Racing Electronics’ radio communications experience and US market-specific communication accessories.
Riedel will open North America Motorsport Competence Centres in Racing Electronics’ facilities, building staff and equipment resources to support US and visiting racing events. The companies say the collaboration will offer support services including turnkey solutions, trackside rentals, custom ear moulds and helmet kits.
Both companies plan to create a Motorsport Remote Operations Centre in Concord, North Carolina, which is designed to enable remote workflows and reduce the carbon footprint of operations.
Lutz Rathmann, chief executive of managed technology at Riedel Communications, said: “We are excited to join forces with Racing Electronics to bring our innovative communication solutions to the US motorsport market. This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to enhance safety, sustainability and innovation in motorsport.”
Chris Schwartz, president at Racing Electronics, added: “Early this year, we embarked on a project with Riedel at Daytona, and it was abundantly clear that our companies were aligned around a shared vision of innovation and collaboration. Together, we are well positioned to set new standards and grow our respective businesses while continuing to exceed the expectations of our customers.”
