Case Study: RacinDirt achieves reliable, high-quality live racing broadcasts from remote tracks with Mushroom Networks’ Streamer

RacinDirt Holeshots Live Racing Broadcasts with Mushroom Networks’ Streamer

RacinDirt, a Grain Valley, Missouri–based broadcaster of dirt-modified stock car racing, needed a way to deliver high-quality live streams from remote tracks while keeping their existing encoder, multi-camera switcher and CDN workflow unchanged. Facing unreliable or unavailable wired Internet and high rental costs, RacinDirt turned to Mushroom Networks’ Streamer™ to solve those connectivity challenges.

Mushroom Networks’ Streamer™ bonds multiple 3G/4G/LTE cellular modems (and can mix wired and wireless links), creating a reliable, optimized IP tunnel that supports three cameras, a multi-camera switcher, built-in WAN Ethernet and a WiFi access point. The solution enabled high-quality live streams from previously impossible locations, eliminated expensive wired Internet rentals, increased streaming reliability for mission-critical events, and allowed RacinDirt to monetize races through paid live-event subscriptions.
