SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 4-day 62nd Macau Grand Prix was rounded off at Macau Guia Circuit on November 22nd with over 80,000 audiences entering into the circuit to experience the fast and furious brought by the world top drivers and cars. Since tentative collaboration with the event committee in 2013 and 2014, Hytera was finally chosen as the official radio supplier this year to replace the legacy system and terminals with up-to-date communication equipments which helps the event committee organize and manage the global renowned sporting event in Macau.
The Macau Grand Prix is a historical street racing and known as one of the most demanding circuits in the world due to the challenging nature of the track, which consists of fast straights, tight corners and uncompromising crash barriers. Accidents happen almost in every racing competition. This year is not an exception.
Considering the potential circumstances would happen during the race, a tailor-made DMR two-way radio solution to fulfill multiple synchronized calls were proposed by Hytera and adopted by the event committee and all the supporting staff scattered along the circuit. "I have to praise all the supporting staff this year, they have done a very good job in handling the emergencies on the track with really high efficiency," the live broadcast presenter commented. The radio communication between committee and the execution teams has made indispensable contribution for the high efficiency.
"The adoption by Macau Grand Prix is a significant breakthrough and a great recognition for Hytera," said Sam Cheung, the Sales Engineer of Unicom Technology, regional partner of Hytera in Hong Kong and Macau.

The Swedish driver successfully retained his championship title in the Suncity Group Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix - FIA F3 Intercontinental Cup this year. "The Hytera PD788 portable radios used by the racing teams are not part of the agreement but brought by the teams themselves," said Kuan Weng Fai, the owner of Shun Tat Electronic Engineering, local partner of Hytera in Macau.
