Brisbane Olympics calls for EOIs for data, intercom, video and audio network

The Brisbane organising committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is inviting expressions of interest (EOI) for the provision, configuration, integration, and support of the DIVA (Data, Intercom, Video, Audio) network to enable unified signal transport for Games operations.

The scope of work includes six key areas: signal transport infrastructure; stakeholder integration; interface & I/O management; licensing & compliance; technical support; and sustainability & efficiency.

This includes the design, deployment, and support of a unified network for data, intercom, video, and audio signals across competition venues, particularly around the Field of Play (FOP).

The solution must support high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission of multiple signal types over a single cabling system; fibre and/or hybrid cabling infrastructure with redundancy and failover capabilities; and centralised and distributed DIVA nodes with configurable I/O ports for various signal types.

The system must support simultaneous multi-signal routing and switching, be interoperable with existing AV and broadcast systems and allow flexible configuration to accommodate venue-specific layouts and operational needs.

Installation of DIVA nodes at designated venue locations is required, each equipped with configurable input/output ports for audio (XLR, AES), video (SDI, HDMI), intercom (analog/digital), and data (Ethernet), as well as remote monitoring and diagnostics capabilities, scalable port density to support varying venue sizes and operational complexity.

Management of system licences and assurance of compliance with international standards for AV and broadcast signal transport; cybersecurity protocols for data transmission; and environmental and sustainability guidelines for reusable infrastructure are included in the scope of work.

Ongoing maintenance, updates, and user support for the DIVA network, including on-site and remote technical assistance during Games-time operations; system health monitoring and fault resolution; support for late-stage configuration changes and emergency re-routing are needed.

Implementation of a reusable and cost-effective solution that minimises cabling complexity and physical footprint, reduces procurement delays by consolidating vendor responsibilities and supports efficient deployment, teardown, and reuse across multiple venues are the final requirements.

The deadline for EOIs is 31 March 2026.
