Kalaam Telecom Group’s wholesale division, Kalaam Carrier Solutions (KCS), has extended its strategic partnership with Riedel Networks for another three years to continue delivering connectivity for the motorsport series.
The renewed agreement builds on a successful collaboration from 2022 to 2024, during which KCS and Riedel Networks provided high-performance connectivity for motorsport events across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. The partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to enabling mission-critical communications for sports, media events and enterprise customers across the Middle East and North Africa.
Since 2022, the partnership has established a regional network anchored by a Point of Presence (POP) in Manama, Bahrain. This POP is directly integrated with Kalaam’s fully owned terrestrial KNOT cable system, which offers a 100% terrestrial route across the region, and seamlessly connects with Riedel’s global backbone. The collaboration has simplified regional access while enhancing network resilience, benefiting industries such as finance, energy and logistics by providing secure, high-capacity links between local operations and international networks.
Veer Passi, Group CEO of Kalaam Telecom, said: “As a Bahraini company, Kalaam is proud to serve as the connectivity partner of choice for the world’s premier motorsport series. Riedel Networks’ decision to establish Bahrain as their hub for the Middle Eastern region underscores the Kingdom’s growing role as a regional digital gateway. This partnership not only showcases Kalaam’s ability to deliver reliable, low-latency, high-speed connectivity, but also reinforces our position as a trusted enabler of advanced communications for global sporting events.”
Michael Martens, CEO of Riedel Networks, added: “The partnership with Kalaam has enabled us to deliver premium connectivity for international motorsport events while also providing highly reliable network solutions for enterprises in the MENA region. With this renewed agreement, we are expanding our joint services to address the growing demands of corporate and global event customers.”
Looking ahead, the extended partnership will further enhance regional infrastructure by adding new interconnection points and introducing additional services tailored to enterprises, broadcasters, and digital platforms across the region.
