Case Study: RIEDEL Communications achieves reliable, scalable mission‑critical connectivity for global events with HPE Aruba Networking

Riedel Communications’ mission critical infrastructure ensures success for the world’s biggest events

Riedel Communications is a German technology company that designs and delivers real‑time networks for video, audio and communications at major global events (World Cups, Olympics, Eurovision, G20, etc.). Their challenge was to provide secure, high‑performance IP infrastructure that can be deployed quickly, managed easily, scale from 100 to 400,000 people, and adapt to frequent last‑minute changes onsite.

By standardizing on Aruba — Wi‑Fi 5/6 indoor and outdoor APs, 7200 Mobility Controllers, Aruba campus switches, ClearPass, AirWave and Mobility Master — Riedel implemented a single, repeatable architecture that simplifies deployment and management, supports multiple user groups, and enables remote/cloud operations. The outcome is reliable, mission‑critical connectivity at every event, faster on‑site responsiveness, reduced operational overhead and a stronger technology partnership.
