Live results across the Australian Championships 2025

The brief

The 2025 Australian Championships were a complex carnival: seven events in nine days, at seven different locations in and around Brisbane, across relays, bush and sprint orienteering. About nine months out, the organising committee chose meshO as the sole supplier of event services for the whole week.

What meshO provided

• Results on monitors in the assembly area
• Radio controls in the field on the meshO mesh
• A live audio stream of the commentary
• PA equipment for commentary in the arena — positioned for presentations once commentary finished
• Help setting up and supporting the commentary

How it ran

• A rehearsal first. The week before, meshO ran the equipment with the carnival’s key IT people at the Queensland Championships.
• Radio controls chosen for the crowd. In the relays, only controls common to every team were shown on the screens, so the arena never saw a misleading order. Extra antennas went into the field where the terrain needed them.
• Ready before the first start, every day. Seven venues meant seven set-ups; every system was running before the first runner left.
