Riedel Communications has announced it is an official sponsor of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
In addition to serving as official radio communications provider, Riedel will provide radio communications for the Queen's Baton Relay as
well as the Games themselves, which take place from July 28 to August 8, 2022.
The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will
see around 4,500 athletes from 72 nations and territories compete in 19 sports across 14 competition venues. As the biggest event
ever to be held in the West Midlands, it is expected to attract more than 1 million spectators to the city
and have a global TV audience of 1.5 billion.
Providing technical guidance and support, along with more than 6,000 radio
handsets, communication accessories, satellite phones, PoC devices, repeater systems, and a supporting radio network, Riedel's Managed Technology division will support both
the Queen's Baton Relay, which commenced earlier this month, as well as critical radio communications across over 40 sites covering competition,
training venues, and villages during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The 16th official Queen's Baton Relay passes through 72 nations and
territories across Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean, and the Americas leading up to the Opening Ceremony on July 28, 2022.
