IT infrastructure
In general, it is important to have stable wireless internet (WiFi) available at your local hub venue. The camera device requires a 20Mbit/s stable upload. Some people involved in competition management also require bandwidth for video communication. Please use a wired internet connection if possible.
In addition, your local hub venue should have mobile internet access so that filming and scoring apps can use it as a backup for sending and receiving data. Mobile Internet is also recommended to set up a backup WiFi in case other wireless Internet sources fail.
To present the results in real time to the pilot and to share the CYBATHLON live stream to the pilot, at least three monitors (27’’ or bigger) are required at your hub (figure 15, figure 16). The monitors must be connected to a laptop which has access to wired internet. Further laptops will be required to communicate with the competition management and for Zoom interviews (figure 17).
Checks for hubs
CYBATHLON will conduct various test sessions with you to help you set up the venue, infrastructure, and technical equipment and to clarify any questions with you.
