MADRID and MUMBAI, India, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

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. "

entertainment federations. The company's media, cloud and connectivity services 
are underpinned by the world's largest subsea fibre network of its kind, 
creating a fully-converged, end-to-end solution for fast-paced sports like 
MotoGP[TM]. Since 2017, Tata Communications has played a key role of enabling 
MotoGP to continually push boundaries and create world-leading broadcasts of
