The second half of the Monster Energy MX Nationals is set to kick off this weekend in Swan Hill and Williams Event Management (WEM) and My Sport Live have made significant investments to ensure the live stream quality over the next five rounds.

Through the course of the first half of the championship, the live stream of qualifying and racing was unreliable and often poor quality, due to little or no internet connection in the remote areas that the tracks are located in.

In addition, the increase in spectators at the MX Nationals this year, has meant a higher volume of people sharing the one Telco tower when utilizing phones at events.

With those issues identified, My Sport Live and WEM have addressed the need for a more reliable Internet connection and have partnered with Sydney Teleport to provide a broadcast satellite uplink. This will provide high quality live broadcasting of the MX Nationals.

Over the next five rounds of the championship, the MX Nationals and My Sport Live will work alongside Sydney Teleport to ensure that everyone at home, and those who can’t be at the track, will have reliable access to view the final moto of each class, live from the venue.

Round six of the championship at Swan Hill will see broadcasting starting from the track at 1:45pm on Sunday, 29 June. Where the final moto from both MX1 and MX2 will be shown live online via www.mysportlive.com.au and also on MotoOnline.com.au.
