“ You can really now be employed in this industry without really having to be in the media hubs”
Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO, Formula 1
“ They [ Tata Communications ] have been an integral part of our growth journey over the last decade,” says Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1,“ and we completely trust their expertise and abilities to deliver what we need for our fans.”
Global infrastructure excellence Tata Communications’ success in Formula One broadcasting stems from its massive global infrastructure investment. The company operates“ a superfast subsea fiber network that carries around 30 % of the world’ s Internet routes. It powers Internet of Things applications across the globe, underpins Tata Communications’ cloud and cyber security services, and enables software-defined networking for multinational businesses,” according to a report by Sports Video Group.
This infrastructure enables not just F1 broadcasting but supports“ probably 65 % to 70 % of all global sports across he world... whether you’ re watching football in South America or golf in North America or motorsports in Europe or cricket in Asia or NBA in South Korea,” Dhaval explains.“ We have a role to play in that journey.”
As the partnership between Formula One and Tata Communications evolves, Dhaval sees even greater opportunities ahead.“ The wave that started with all the OTTs coming in... I think that wave started about 15 years ago, and we’ ve seen that transformation happen in every single household globally. I think the next wave is just getting started,” Dhaval predicts.
This next wave focuses on native digital content creation, powered by AI and cloud technologies.
