MADRID and MUMBAI, India, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Fuelled with additional capabilities, the collaboration continues to bring live

MotoGP[TM] race action to fans in over 200 countries around the world

Tata Communications [https://www.tatacommunications.com/], a global digital

ecosystem enabler, and Dorna Sports, the exclusive commercial and television

rights holder of the FIM MotoGP[TM] World Championship, today renew and

strengthen their exclusive multi-year strategic collaboration – bringing the

spectacle of MotoGP[TM]'s close racing and incredible competition to nearly

half a billion homes worldwide.

With its world-leading, digital-first suite of media offerings, Tata

Communications empowers the world's premier motorcycle racing series to deliver

an innovative and transformed viewing experience to its fans worldwide. Tata

Communications media edge services will allow MotoGP[TM] to continue to ensure

excellent video quality, coupled with tremendous speed, delivering the race

live from the track to the viewers' screens in just a few tenths of a second.

Tata Communications and Dorna teams will also boost migration from an onsite

traditional media production to a remote production that will culminate in a

future cloud-based model, increasing the number of video signals from 60 to 110

– some in ultra-low latency – providing more content to the viewers, and

enabling the innovation of remotely produced immersive sound.

These remote production capabilities, combined with the global video content

delivery network, will also enable increased remote broadcasting of live track

action, supporting the increased sustainability and long-term environmental

objectives of MotoGP[TM] and Dorna Sports as both continue to work together on

world-leading and world-changing technological solutions.

Tata Communications and Dorna have also been working together to leverage

Private LTE deployment at race tracks to manage wireless camera feeds in low

latency and the highest quality possible, bringing even more incredible content

to viewers around the world.

Manel Arroyo, Chief Commercial Officer, Dorna Sports, said, "Tata

Communications has been  pivotal in enabling us to bring immersive live race

action to our millions of fans around the world. Together, we've pushed the

boundaries of innovation in sports broadcasting, increasingly bringing our

global fans closer to their favourite sport." He adds, "With this renewed

collaboration, we trust Tata Communications to help us take the fan experience

even further, using cutting edge technology to deliver an incredible experience

for fans at home, which is as enthralling as watching the races on tracks."

Dhaval Ponda, Global Head of Media & Entertainment Services, Tata

Communications, said, "MotoGP[TM] represents the best in global motorsports

today. Fuelled by our deep broadcast experience, video engineering pedigree and

passion for technological advancements, we're proud to extend this relationship

to further accelerate the fan experience. Together, we'll continue to co-create

and elevate the viewing experiences for the legions of passionate motorcycle

racing fans globally. "
