The Tour de Suisse is one of Europe’s leading cycling races, covering long distances across Switzerland’s cities, mountains, and remote valleys. Coordinating race officials, security teams, traffic control, broadcast crews, and support vehicles required a communication system that could deliver reliable real-time connectivity throughout the event.


To support the 2024 race, nearly 400 Telox TE320 LTE Push-to-Talk radios were deployed, enabling smooth communication across 18 operational groups from start to finish.
