In the relentless, high-stakes world of Formula 1, every millisecond counts and every connection matters.
The Australian Grand Prix Corporation relies on Switch Telecom to provide the voice infrastructure that enables seamless coordination across the Australian Grand Prix team, spanning thousands of staff, contractors and technology systems.
Voice solutions that perform under pressure
Operating within a fast-paced environment that shifts into overdrive during race season, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation engaged Switch Telecom to deliver the voice infrastructure that powers the event behind the scenes.
From operations to on-site coordination, reliable communication is critical when the pressure is on. Switch Telecom enables consistent coordination across thousands of staff, contractors and critical systems throughout the event.
Supporting race operations at scale
Delivering scalable and secure voice solutions that keep pace with the intensity of race season.
The Challenge
The Australian Grand Prix’s communications requirements shift dramatically between race and non-race periods. During peak season, staffing and operational demands surge, requiring rapid provisioning of additional voice services without compromising security, reliability or performance.
The Solution
Switch deployed a flexible Cisco Webex Calling environment that allowed the Australian Grand Prix to scale user licences, handsets and call routing in line with seasonal demand.
Our team provided full configuration, management and remote support, ensuring every line remained operational when it mattered most.
To enhance communication in high-pressure environments, we equipped the control room team with Cisco’s latest noise-cancelling headsets, delivering clear, reliable audio even amidst the intensity of race operations. With transparent dashboards, real-time monitoring and ongoing support, the IT team maintained visibility and confidence from start to finish.
