Case Study: HYROX achieves flawless race timing and live streaming with Peplink connectivity

Rock-Solid Connectivity for the HYROX World Championships Chicago 2025

HYROX, a global functional fitness racing series, faced the significant challenge of providing absolutely reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity for its 2025 World Championships in Chicago. The event required flawless operation for critical systems including real-time athlete registration, split-second race timing, and uninterrupted live global broadcasts to thousands of on-site athletes and spectators and a worldwide audience. Any network downtime would have been catastrophic for the event's operations and reputation.

To solve this, Peplink deployed a resilient multi-technology solution. This included a primary fiber backbone backed by a bonded combination of six Starlink terminals and additional 5G connectivity, all managed by Peplink MBX and BR2 Pro routers operating in Synergy and High Availability modes. The entire network was monitored in real-time via Peplink's InControl platform. The result was zero downtime over the entire championship weekend, with perfect operation of all timing, registration, and streaming systems, enabling HYROX to deliver a seamless world-class experience.
