Riedel Communications has announced the launch of its RefSuite ecosystem solution.
Developed in collaboration with referees and industry stakeholders, RefSuite unifies five integrated modules: RefCam, RefBox, RefComms, CoachComms and RefCloud into a single ecosystem. Aiming to transform broadcast operations across live sports environments, the solution provides enhanced decision-making and performance while delivering unseen/immersive broadcast perspectives, said the company.
Adaptable to different users’ needs, RefSuite’s modular design enables flexibility and scalability. RefCam provides stabilised, broadcast-grade POV referee video and the RefBox VAR system offers intuitive, synchronous control of all sources enabling instant analysis, playback and clip export capability. Encrypted communications are provided by RefComms and CoachComms while the RefCloud acts as a central cloud-based hub for secure storage and review of media.
Lutz Rathmann, CEO managed technology at Riedel Communications, commented, “RefSuite is the culmination of years of field experience, product innovation, and direct collaboration with the world’s leading sports organisations. With each module already proven in high-profile deployments worldwide, RefSuite represents a decisive move away from fragmented solutions — delivering a cohesive, future-ready platform that empowers officiating, coaching, and broadcast teams alike.”
Riedel’s Easy5G private 5G network allows the ecosystem to be extended and when combined with Riedel’s Remote Operations Center (ROC), the technology provides organisations with turnkey deployment enabling integrated management for every matchday scenario.
Marc Schneider, Riedel’s executive director global events, said, “RefSuite represents our vision of seamless delivery — a unified technology and service model designed to meet the demanding needs of international federations, leagues, broadcasters, and production partners. This is just the beginning: RefSuite is the first step in a new generation of integrated ecosystems that will unlock new capabilities for remote production, performance analysis, and immersive fan experiences — shaping the future of motorsport, maritime, and live production environments alike.”
