Riedel Launches RefSuite Ecosystem For Sports Officiating, Coaching, And Production

Riedel Communications has announced the launch of RefSuite, a powerful new Managed Technology solution tailored to professional sports workflows. RefSuite combines hardware, software, cloud services, and 24/7 remote operations into one seamless ecosystem designed to transform refereeing, coaching, and broadcast operations across live sports environments.
Developed in close partnership with referees and industry stakeholders — and built on Riedel’s trusted engineering expertise — RefSuite brings together five tightly integrated modules: RefCam, RefBox, RefComms, CoachComms, and RefCloud. From head-mounted referee cameras and FIFA Quality-certified Video Assistant Referee (VAR) systems to Bolero S-based wireless comms and cloud-based media management, RefSuite enables unprecedented coordination, performance, and decision-making while delivering unseen/immersive broadcast perspectives.
RefSuite’s modular design ensures maximum scalability and flexibility; whether deployed at elite-level tournaments, national leagues, or training grounds, RefSuite adapts to each client’s requirements and scale. RefCam delivers stabilized, broadcast-grade referee POV video, while the RefBox VAR review system offers intuitive, synchronous control of all video sources for instant analysis, playback, and clip export. RefComms and CoachComms provide encrypted, low-latency referee and team communication, complemented by the RefCloud media cloud as a central hub for secure media storage, review, and collaboration.
The ecosystem can be extended with Riedel’s Easy5G Private 5G network solution, offering high-speed, secure data transmission for full-pitch RefCam video streaming or remote RefBox review workflows. Combined with (optional) centralized monitoring and support via Riedel’s Remote Operations Center (ROC), this Managed Technology offering delivers turnkey deployment and operational peace of mind. With RefSuite, sports organizations gain a consistent, high-performance foundation for every matchday scenario — delivered and maintained by one trusted partner.
