Story Highlights
Riedel Communications has acquired MECSware, a leading specialist in Private 5G technologies, and has launched Private 5G network solution Easy5G. Developed in collaboration with MECSware, Easy5G is intended to revolutionize 5G usage in dynamic environments - live events, remote productions, industrial facilities - offering flexibility, simplicity, and rapid deployment.
Easy5G improves the use of 5G in dynamic applications like remote live productions.
Riedel Group founder/CEO Thomas Riedel says that complexity and lack of flexibility often make Private 5G networks impractical for dynamic or temporary applications like live events and remote productions. MECSware, he adds, is the perfect partner. It will join the Riedel Group but will remain an independent company.
They will help our customers overcome obstacles, he explains. I am more than happy to welcome MECSware CEO Dr. Torsten Musiel and his team to the Riedel family. The first fruits of our shared labor are nothing short of a breakthrough, as Easy5G's debut delivers both the reliable, high-capacity upload connections and the flexibility required for media and event productions.
Musiol concurs: It will open up exciting new applications for our technologies all across the globe.
Easy5G redefines Private 5G deployment by combining Wi-Fi-like simplicity with the robustness of carrier-grade systems. With only a handful of setup parameters, the system can be operational in under 60 minutes, cutting deployment time by weeks compared with traditional networks. No specialized 5G expertise or dark fiber is needed: Easy5G can be managed by general IT personnel using a standard switch infrastructure.
Unlike public 5G services, which often struggle during productions and events with high user density, Easy5G operates on dedicated network frequencies, ensuring reliability and performance. Its modular design pairs MECSware's advanced Mobile Edge Cloud Server (MECS) with small-cell base stations, providing flexibility and scalability for a wide range of applications from wireless communication to live video transmission.
Our partnership with MECSware exemplifies how we harness cutting-edge technologies to enhance our ecosystem and deliver unmatched value to our customers, adds Jaqueline Voss, executive director, strategy and innovation, Riedel Communications. It not only bolsters our Managed Technology division but also paves the way for future product innovations. The possibilities for this technology are virtually endless.
Easy5G's integration capabilities elevate its potential beyond basic connectivity by seamlessly linking to Riedel's MediorNet and Artist ecosystems, adding a reliable wireless IP layer for audio, video, and data workflows.
