AerNow Teams With Ericsson to Create Next Generation Live Video Platform

AerNow has teamed with Ericsson, a leading provider of technology and services to telecom operators, to power the next generation of live events by delivering virtual experiences with real-time data and video over 5G. AerNow, a global platform for powering live experiences with frame-by-frame synchronization and customized data visualization, connects where virtual meets reality for eSports, motorsports, and the entertainment industry.

“Motorsport coverage is one of the most complex environments for live event streaming – and there’s no room for error. We’re excited to leverage the innovation from this collaboration, blurring the line between virtual and reality for our audience,” says Greg Gill, president and CEO of Pirelli World Challenge. “This solution simplifies complex and expensive workflows while transforming the connected motorsports experience.”

At CES 2017, Ericsson and AerNow will demo how 5G is transforming motorsports experiences for teams, sponsors, and fans.  Show attendees will be immersed in a racing experience across multiple screens – connecting real-time data and video aggregation at 5G speeds.  

“We are pleased to collaborate with Ericsson to bring innovation to contribution and delivery of Motorsports and eSports content and experiences,” says Darcy Lorincz, CTO of AerNow. “Bringing thought leadership and innovative data/video solutions to solve complex challenges in the Motorsports market, while helping our customers and partners like Pirelli World Challenge to engage new audiences is at the core of our business.  Teaming with Ericsson, will allow us to continue to take on these challenges with a deeper bench of expertise, technology and solutions where 5G meets media and motorsports.”
