EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Challenge
MST plays a crucial role in the provision and honing of ultra-precise data for
international motor racing events. At such ferocious speeds, timing must be accurate
to the millisecond. To date, its technologies have been used at numerous racing
circuits worldwide.
international motor racing events. At such ferocious speeds, timing must be accurate
to the millisecond. To date, its technologies have been used at numerous racing
circuits worldwide.
Today, MST is an integral part of the FIA World Touring Car Championships
(WTCC), staged at a dozen international circuits each year. It also has a core
communications role at most of the world’s major golf championships, supplying
real time graphics to broadcasters.

Wi-Fi challenges facing MST are unlike those of ordinary corporate infrastructures.
A wireless kit, including servers, is flown from one venue to another and set up
in two days. It must work flawlessly. These demands call for a solution that offers
multiple highly secure channels while functioning smoothly amid concrete pit walls
and potential interference with radio frequency emissions from touring cars’ engines.

Solution
After talking to industry colleagues, MST chose a Cisco® solution. Karl Nicholson,
motor sports project engineer and wireless systems manager at MST, says, “Cisco
ticked all the boxes. We’d done our own legwork, and we had people telling us its
technology works really well in the motor sports environment.”

MST chose to provide two networks, supported with a global managed service from
wireless specialist Axonex. One is for race organizers, up to the race director, and
the teams; another is laid on for those providing hospitality at the track. Both have
to work equally well with any device—a fully open bring-your-own-device (BYOD)
instance. Access has to be accorded instantly to any device without needlessly
restrictive policies.
