Riedel lands connectivity role for Glasgow's 2026 Commonwealth Games
Riedel Communications will provide end-to-end connectivity and communication infrastructure for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, leveraging its Managed Technology offering. This includes the Glasgow 2026 Games Integrated Network (GIN), powered by Riedel's DIVA+ media backbone, to manage communications, AV signals, and data transfer. Riedel will also supply integrated intercom and radio systems, and Wide Area Networks for live broadcast transmission from venues to the Broadcast Operations Centre.
Key Takeaways
- Riedel will deliver the complete end-to-end design, installation, and integration of the Games’ connectivity and communications ecosystem.
- The Glasgow 2026 Games Integrated Network (GIN) will run on Riedel’s DIVA+ media backbone.
- DIVA+ combines fibre-based infrastructure, wireless Easy5G extensions, and centralised orchestration into one IP-based network.
- Riedel will provide integrated intercom and radio communications across competition venues and operational sites.
- The company will link venues through its Wide Area Network for live broadcast images and use Venue LANs for operational connectivity and Wi-Fi.
Why It Matters
Riedel is effectively becoming the networking and comms layer for a major live sports event, with one managed setup covering planning, implementation, and live operations. That matters because the project spans broadcast transmission, AV, intercom, radio, and venue Wi-Fi rather than a single point solution. It also shows how event organizers are buying integrated infrastructure packages instead of stitching together separate systems. Watch for how Glasgow 2026 describes the performance of the GIN, WAN, and Venue LANs during the Games, which run 23 July to 2 August.
