Bringing global F1® action to fans with ultra-low latency broadcasts

Our innovative remote broadcast solution lets F1®'s production team work from a central UK hub. We stream critical race data from 24 global locations in under 200 milliseconds to UK, then deliver it to millions of fans worldwide. This seamless, ultra-low latency workflow brings every thrilling moment to screens globally.

Relentless pace: Building and breaking down F1® broadcasts globally

At each of the 24 global F1® races, come rain or shine, we build, test, and transmit 90 video and 150 audio feeds, delivering over 500TB of data every weekend. We then expertly dismantle, transport, and rebuild this entire setup on another continent within a week. Unwavering precision, relentless pace.

Driving efficiency and sustainability with remote operations

Our global network empowered F1® to launch its remote operations model in 2020. This transformation significantly reduced at-track production scale and cut traveling freight, demonstrating how our technology drives efficiency and sustainability for the sport.
