Latin America. Riedel Communications deepens its 5G expertise with the acquisition of MECSware, a specialist in private 5G technologies, and the launch of the transformative Easy5G™ private 5G network solution.
Developed in collaboration with MECSware, Easy5G is set to revolutionize the use of 5G in dynamic environments such as live events, remote productions, and industrial facilities, offering unmatched flexibility, simplicity, and rapid deployment.
Founded in 2015 by Dr. Torsten Musiol, MECSware develops and supplies easy-to-deploy and easy-to-operate 4G/5G system solutions for private networks. As part of the acquisition, MECSware will join the Riedel Group, but will remain an independent company.
"Private 5G networks were often impractical for dynamic or temporary applications such as live events and remote productions due to their complexity and lack of flexibility," said Thomas Riedel, founder and CEO of the Riedel Group. "At MECSware we found the perfect partner to help us overcome these obstacles for our customers and I am more than happy to welcome Torsten and his team to the Riedel family. The first fruits of our shared work are nothing short of a breakthrough, as the debut of Easy5G delivers reliable, high-capacity charging connections and the flexibility required for media productions and events."
Easy5G redefines private 5G deployment by combining Wi-Fi-like simplicity with the robustness of carrier-grade systems. With just a handful of configuration parameters, the system can be operational in less than 60 minutes, reducing deployment time by weeks compared to traditional networks. No specialized 5G or dark fiber expertise is needed – Easy5G can be managed by general IT staff using standard switching infrastructure.
Unlike public 5G services that often struggle during productions and events with high user density, Easy5G operates on dedicated network frequencies, ensuring superior reliability and performance. Its modular design combines MECSware's advanced Mobile Edge (MECS) cloud server with small-cell base stations, ensuring flexibility and scalability for a wide range of applications, from wireless communications to live video streaming.
Easy5G's integration capabilities elevate its potential far beyond basic connectivity by seamlessly linking with Riedel's MediorNet and Artist ecosystems, adding a reliable wireless IP layer for audio, video, and data workflows.
