When global attention turns to the Ryder Cup, behind-the-scenes coordination must be as precise as the players on the course. From security teams and scoring officials to hospitality crews and broadcasters, every function relies on flawless communications and oversight. To meet the demands of this world-class event, the PGA of America partnered with BearCom. Our team engineered and deployed a comprehensive network of Motorola R7 radios and advanced surveillance systems, ensuring peak performance across every facet of the tournament.
The Technology That Kept the Ryder Cup Talking
From security to scoring, BearCom’s systems kept every team, every call, and every fan connected.
Mission-Critical Communications for Flawless Coordination
Effective communication across dozens of teams and operational functions is the backbone of any major event. BearCom provided and supported a massive network of over 1,400 Motorola R7 two-way radios, ensuring clear, reliable, and instant communication for every group involved.
The scale of the radio operation was substantial. Our involvement began in early May, nearly five months before the event, with the delivery of a pre-event system cabinet with hundreds of Motorola R7 radios. This initial deployment supported early setup activities and laid the groundwork for the full-scale system. Our radio equipment will ultimately be in use for a total of seven months, covering the entire event lifecycle from setup to teardown.
The radio network supported the PGA of America and approximately a dozen other essential entities, including:
- Team USA and Team Europe
- ShotLink scoring system operators
- Security, medical, facility, and operations personnel
- Volunteers and merchandise staff
- Referees and rules officials
- All vendors, hospitality, and Food & beverage services
- Press and photography crews
To support this extensive user base, BearCom deployed a powerful and resilient network infrastructure. This included our event base trailer housing MOTOTRBO Linked Capacity Plus (LCP) systems. These systems were connected to multiple remote sites, which utilized additional MOTOTRBO cabinets, each containing numerous MOTOTRBO repeaters. This dependable, multi-site architecture guaranteed complete coverage across the entire golf course and associated facilities.
Our on-site radio team, consisting of a project manager and two live event managers, dedicated weeks to the event. Their responsibilities included inventory control, distribution, and technical support for all radio equipment, ensuring every user had a dependable communication tool.
BearCom's involvement in the Ryder Cup demonstrates our capability to design, deploy, and manage mission-critical communication and security systems for the world's most demanding events. Our work provided the tournament's organizers and public safety officials with the reliable tools needed to execute a seamless and secure operation.
