Riedel Communications Launches RefSuite

Riedel Communications today has launched 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 is the culmination of years of field experience, product innovation, and direct collaboration with the world's leading sports organisations," said Lutz Rathmann, CEO Managed Technology, Riedel Communications. "With each module already proven in high-profile deployments worldwide, RefSuite represents a decisive move away from fragmented solutions — delivering a cohesive, future-ready platform that empowers officiating, coaching, and broadcast teams alike."

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 stabilised, 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) centralised monitoring and support via Riedel's Remote Operations Centre (ROC), this Managed Technology offering delivers turnkey deployment and operational peace of mind. With RefSuite, sports organisations gain a consistent, high-performance foundation for every matchday scenario — delivered and maintained by one trusted partner.
