["content"]=>
array(1) {
["encoded"]=>
string(7098) "
The new eSTOP brakes presented by MAGURA are two disc brakes specially adapted to meet the requirements of pedelecs.
The combination of the new SPORT pads and MDR-C or MDR-P brake discs provides increased stopping power and strength, perfect for eBikes.
The very convenient assistance provided by the VAE delights cyclists but weighs down the bike. The climbs are much more pleasant; on the other hand, when going downhill, the excess weight and higher speeds present new challenges for the driver and the equipment. To meet even better the new requirements of eBikes, MAGURA presents specially optimized components at Eurobike, called MAGURA E-Bike Optimized.
3 pieces – a perfect system!
The eSTOP system consists of 3 components: the eSTOP brake models, the optimized brake discs and the new SPORT pad. Being all harmonized with each other, the components thus deliver maximum performance meeting the more complex requirements of pedelecs.
The new brake discs are reinforced and feature high heat resistance and lateral stiffness while reducing vibration. The MDR-P is available for the first time in a diameter of 220 mm in order to permanently offer optimum braking power even under continuous heavy loads. With the same manual force, the new diameter of the brake disc provides a 10% increase in braking power.
All components are available both as eSTOP brake sets and as upgrade kits or as individual components.
MDR-C AND MDR-P BRAKE DISCS
MAGURA presents two new brake discs optimized for use on an eBike. With increased performance and strength, they also reduce vibration.
The new MDR-C brake disc is the versatile model of MAGURA’s “E-Bike Optimized” portfolio. It is suitable for city bikes as well as trail or VAE. An additional stiffening element above the 6-hole housing prevents the appearance of vibrations and noises during braking. The disc is also characterized by better heat resistance and high strength.
With the launch of the MDR-P, MAGURA presents a brake disc for riders looking for performance and for tough conditions – from downhill to heavy cargo bikes to e-bikes. The disc made up of two parts and lighter than the MDR-C is now also available in a diameter of
220 mm. This two-part disc has the particularity of having patented toothing of the outer and inner rings (Dovetail Interlink technology). This toothing provides additional support on the inner ring during thermal expansion of the outer ring. Unlike floating discs, the torque is thus transmitted over the entire surface and not only by the rivets. This results in greater rigidity of the brake disc and more direct heat dissipation under continuous stress. Thanks to this new technology, the MDR-P turns out to be the most powerful brake disc in MAGURA’s portfolio and is light in weight while reducing vibrations. Perfect for use in Gravity ATVs.
With the launch of the MDR-P, MAGURA offers for the first time a brake disc with a diameter of 220 mm. With the same manual force, it develops 10% more braking power than a 203 mm diameter model and even 20% greater than a 180 mm model. In addition, its higher mass prevents any risk of fading and reduces the wear of the pads by 15%. The brake disc later reaches temperatures which adversely affect the pads.
With the new MDR brake discs, MAGURA now offers a total of five different brake discs. The MAGURA Buyers Guide #customizeyourbrake helps users choose the right products and compare their respective characteristics.
SPORT BRAKE PADS
The new SPORT organic pads are suitable for everyday and sporting journeys and in particular for use on pedelecs. They sit between MAGURA COMFORT and PERFORMANCE pads when it comes to stopping power and durability. The new mixture is specially adapted to the requirements of pedelecs and eSTOP brake models. Thanks to their shortened break-in time, the new SPORT pads are quickly operational.
MT ESTOP BRAKE MODELS
The MT5 eSTOP and MT4 eSTOP rely entirely on components optimized for pedelecs. With the proven features of the MT series, these two models boast even better stopping power and durability thanks to the combination of SPORT pads and MDR-C or MDR-P brake discs. Optimized to meet the specific requirements of pedelecs.
MAGURA offers two models, one with two piston brake caliper (MT4 eSTOP) and the other with powerful four-piston brake caliper (MT5 eSTOP).
MAGURA also offers eSTOP Optimized Kits intended to optimize MAGURA MT models for use on eBikes. The kits consist of SPORT pads and MDR-P or MDR-C brake discs.
Opinion of the professional Stefan Schlie, specialist of E-MTB, concerning the new MAGURA MT5 eSTOP
Stefan Schlie, world vice-champion of Trials, pushes the limits of E-MTB driving techniques and knows how to appreciate the advantages of the new eSTOP. “The requirements for an E-MTB brake are complex. For the descent, it must demonstrate sufficient power and solidity but also guarantee precise modulation. The correct dosage of a brake on an E-MTB is also felt when climbing. At a high level of assistance, even the best motor is difficult to dose. Light braking helps minimize loss of traction and tackle even the steepest passages. “
Due to its precise dosage combined with high braking power, the new MT5 eSTOP is optimal for the “brake traction control” technique but also for other E-MTB driving techniques.

The new SPORT organic pads are suitable for everyday and sporting journeys and in particular for use on pedelecs. They sit between MAGURA COMFORT and PERFORMANCE pads when it comes to stopping power and durability. The new mixture is specially adapted to the requirements of pedelecs and eSTOP brake models. Thanks to their shortened break-in time, the new SPORT pads are quickly operational.
MT ESTOP BRAKE MODELS
The MT5 eSTOP and MT4 eSTOP rely entirely on components optimized for pedelecs. With the proven features of the MT series, these two models boast even better stopping power and durability thanks to the combination of SPORT pads and MDR-C or MDR-P brake discs. Optimized to meet the specific requirements of pedelecs.
MAGURA offers two models, one with two piston brake caliper (MT4 eSTOP) and the other with powerful four-piston brake caliper (MT5 eSTOP).
MAGURA also offers eSTOP Optimized Kits intended to optimize MAGURA MT models for use on eBikes. The kits consist of SPORT pads and MDR-P or MDR-C brake discs.
Opinion of the professional Stefan Schlie, specialist of E-MTB, concerning the new MAGURA MT5 eSTOP
Stefan Schlie, world vice-champion of Trials, pushes the limits of E-MTB driving techniques and knows how to appreciate the advantages of the new eSTOP. “The requirements for an E-MTB brake are complex. For the descent, it must demonstrate sufficient power and solidity but also guarantee precise modulation. The correct dosage of a brake on an E-MTB is also felt when climbing. At a high level of assistance, even the best motor is difficult to dose. Light braking helps minimize loss of traction and tackle even the steepest passages. “
Due to its precise dosage combined with high braking power, the new MT5 eSTOP is optimal for the “brake traction control” technique but also for other E-MTB driving techniques.

The difference between RAM and storage memory is getting thinner. Oppo has just deployed its “RAM Expansion Technology” technology in Switzerland on certain advantageous models. If you have a Find X3 Lite 5G, A94 5G, A74 5G or an A54 5G, go for it!
Already very attractive, some Oppo models will now be equipped with “intelligent RAM expansion technology”, as the Chinese manufacturer writes, which continues to rise. We have the impression of reliving certain eras under Windows with dedicated exchange files …
From read-only memory to virtual memory
“The ‘RAM Expansion Technology’ allows users to decide for themselves whether they want to convert part of the available read only memory (ROM) of their Oppo smartphone into virtual random access memory (RAM)”, writes the brand in its text. intended for the press. What to give a little boost to some models.
According to Oppo, once activated, the selected ROM volume is converted to virtual RAM when the smartphone is restarted. Oppo’s “RAM Expansion Technology” is now available with the latest software update for the above models. We were able to check it out at the end of the week on a superb Find X3 Lite 5G!
La «RAM Expansion Technology» d’Oppo.
Nothing’s easier
As we have seen, after updating the software to the most recent version of ColorOS, the RAM expansion function is available in the settings of the smartphone. There, it is possible to simply choose the amount of virtual memory to add according to your needs. You must then restart your smartphone.
We wanted to try to verify the usefulness of this feature. We therefore submitted a Find X3 Lite 5G to the question. Without activation of “RAM Expansion Technology”, this device achieved a score of 314,400 points on the benchmark tool AnTuTu. Activated, the smartphone, still very fluid, reached a score of 327,000.

When the great of this world chose, at the invitation of the French presidency, to bring together the G7 in Biarritz, the city found itself confronted with the need to review the security of its core network, then to reconsider its network. himself. The core network did not allow redundancy in the event of a failure, and it had to secure the connections and fiber links. It also wanted to do more and more without wired in terms of user access to the network.
The City of Biarritz, with Cheops Technology and its supplier Aruba, the network subsidiary of HPE, has found the partner that has enabled it to carry out its project.
The chosen solution took place in two successful stages. First, redundant the core network and the fiber links to have a solid base with the network made clean, secure and stable. Then generalize Wi-Fi in a mobility approach, considering it as more and more reliable.
The solutions selected are based on the equipment manufactured by the network equipment manufacturer Aruba and its security chain integrated into the products. An approach that went through employee authentication to secure BYOD laptops and give access to guests via the Clearpass Policy Manager access control and orchestration software.
Respond to customer fears and expectations
As Dominique Jozefowicz, Sales Director of the Network-Security Division of Cheops Tehnology, observes, “customers are increasingly facing serious security issues. Since the appearance of ransomware, vulnerabilities, etc. they are highly motivated, attentive to information, and increasingly concerned with cybersecurity issues. They seek to guarantee the best level of security for their own customers to deal with malicious or hacking problems ”.
What confirms Xavier Brugne, Cyber Security Business Developer chez Aruba : “The multiplicity of uncontrolled accesses to the network increasing the attack surface and therefore the potential risks. They fear, on a simple incident or inattention, to be hacked ”.
IT managers must manage all aspects of security and the network, as well as the proliferation of solutions with the fierce licensing that one can imagine. This is why they want to rely on reliable and efficient solutions, with a high level of security, and which can be maintained. The example of the city of Biarritz is representative of the response to these expectations, via Aruba’s “Zero Trust Networks” approach, on-board security on equipment, as well as the ClearPass orchestrator to ensure visibility on network and IS connections. Not to mention the sharing of maintenance between Cheops and Aruba with HPE Partner Brand Support.
The strength of the partnership between the distributor and his supplier
What also emerges from the experience carried out by the city of Biarritz is the strength of the partnership between Cheops Technology, the certified integrator, and Aruba, the network builder of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise group, to provide suitable and reliable responses. Dominique Jozefowicz recognizes in Aruba the advantage of being agnostic of network equipment manufacturers, more open to standards and compliance with systems, for example concerning telephony.
The design of floor access equipment, with products ready to operate, and without the need for costly additional licenses. And the richness of its offer: switching, datacenter, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, the ecosystem of complementary editors and for all types of users (employees, BYOD, subcontractors, IoT, guests).
The Aruba certification level of the Cheops technology partner “Partner Platinum”, demonstrates a high level of competence, expertise on Aruba solutions, its investment in training for both expertise, certification, and the ability to interfacing with third-party solutions. And the presence of skills in national and regional relays, to offer the ability to jointly provide a national response to large customers.
The winning trio: ROI, partnership and trust
What could we learn from the partnership between Aruba and Cheops Technology at the service of the city of Biarritz? The answer becomes obvious when we talk about the ROI (return on investment) for the customer. There are three strong points here: automation of redundancy on core network equipment; immediate TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) because Aruba licensing is quite simple, without hidden costs or high costs, with the assurance of D + 1 maintenance of the integrator; and finally to save time on mobility with highly secure Wi-Fi that adapts to client terminal profiles and uses. But make no mistake, what we will especially remember from this partnership is the trust symbol of an unwavering commitment to customers.

Morocco’s technological maturity is advancing rapidly, at least this is what the ABA group demonstrates on a daily basis thanks to its group of startups working tirelessly in the various High-Tech sectors.
In the Bouskoura region, new production lines have been running since November 2020 to produce electronic cards, connected objects, surveillance cameras, access controls, infrared thermometers, oximeters … It is indeed in this factory that connected temperature sensors, which oversee the cold chain traceability of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine, have been produced.
“This type of plant would normally take months to get up and running. But in the race against time in which we were involved, ABA Technology, through its subsidiary Nextronic, succeeded in achieving this in 3 weeks to deliver 17,000 temperature sensors used for vaccine traceability ”, underlines Mohamed BENOUDA, Founding President of ABA TECHNOLOGY.
Nextronic, one of the group’s entities, known in the electronics sector for its engineering and prototyping capacity, has shown that it can also be an industrial 4.0. This is thanks to its mastery of the production of electronic cards and the manufacture of any type of sensor (temperature, humidity, vibration, movement, etc.). It is thus clear that the group is aligned in its approach to the orientations of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and the Green and Digital Economy in the promotion of Made-in-Morocco (MiM).
Technology at the service of health
In the health sector, the ABA TECHNOLOGY group has consolidated its positioning by creating a startup. Named “Mediot Technology”, this startup has squarely invested in the fields of Health-Tech and e-Health. There are then production lines dedicated to the manufacture of infrared thermometers, oximeters, connected monitors, as well as Telemedicine stations. This Health-tech subsidiary is preparing for export to the European market. To do this, it set up in France.
For this group which has been able to adapt and demonstrate its resilience during the hot hours of the Covid-19 crisis, the MiM does not stop at the fields of the manufacture of electronic cards, connected objects and health. In addition, the ABA TECHNOLOGY group manufactures and markets, through its subsidiary NEXTCOR, surveillance cameras, access control systems, thermal cameras and many other products. These products and solutions are an opportunity for distributors and integrators, allowing them to offer a Moroccan brand integrating an easily mobilized after-sales service and a competitive cost.
An innovation center meeting Silicon Valley standards
It is moreover to increase its competitiveness and have a head start on foreign competition that the group recently inaugurated a technological and innovation center. A ceremony which took place in the presence of the Minister of Industry, Trade and Green and Digital Economy, Moulay Hafid Elalamy (MHE). The latter took this opportunity to emphasize the major role played by the electronic and digital industry in the pandemic situation; while stressing that it represents an issue of national sovereignty and technological independence. “ABA Technology and its subsidiaries demonstrate great industrial agility and customer-oriented innovation capable of ensuring the execution of complex projects within short deadlines. Moroccan skills have demonstrated their ability to innovate and develop new products with high added value in this period of crisis marked by the shortage of electronic components, scarcity and uncertainty ”, declared MHE.
Following him, it was up to Mohamed Ben Ouda to specify that in the era of digital transformation and in a context of pandemic, in which the economic models of the future are constantly reinventing themselves, “this center bears witness to the strategic ambition of the ABA Technology group to contribute to the development of a more connected, sustainable and resilient Morocco under the leadership of His Majesty Mohamed VI may God assist Him and this through the power of IoT, electronics and communication. digital transformation ”. As for the center itself, it brings together 80 engineers, all with in-depth expertise in various fields. Whether in the hardware register (Routing, Schematic, 3D Conception, Stimulation Sourcing BOM List, Soft testing, Embarqué Soft, UX Experience) or software (FrontEnd, BackEND, FullStack, AI Conception, Image Processing, Big Data, Cloud Database, SDK) the company is well off. There are also qualified fablab and rapid prototyping (3D printing, Prototyping, Testing, Certification) as well as excellent IoT control tower animators (Dashboard, Business Intelligence, predictive Analysis). So many qualifications gathered in one place.
Compete in an elitist sector with high added value
Beyond the innovation center, the ABA technology group employs 350 people, distributed among its subsidiaries, and has a factory in Bouskoura as well as an industrial unit in Ain Sebaa producing electronic cards and technological equipment. This gives it reactivity and industrial agility sufficient to make 100% MiM. Today, thanks to these assets, ABA Technology controls the IoT value chain from end to end. From the design of technological projects with high added value, to the manufacture of electronic cards, including the integration of solutions, the manufacture of connected sensors, and the development of connectivity solutions and software. This rare and unique expertise at the international level allows the industrial and technological group to cause technological disruptions and invent the new business models of the future while contributing to the reconfiguration of value chains to become more resilient, efficient with a low carbon footprint. . Casablanca, which houses ABA Technology’s technological center, will be its global base for engineering, innovation and managed-services. It will also be the place for the development of new products where young Moroccan talents from the electronics sector, IoT, and digital transformation are mobilized.
Already present in some large cities (Barcelona, Paris and Shenzhen), the group is currently working to strengthen its international presence. A dynamic that will undoubtedly shake up the lines and increase the competitiveness of the Kingdom in the segment of connected objects, electronics and digital. an avant-garde trajectory because it aligns perfectly with the recommendations made in the new development model.

string(5742) "
But why invent a photovoltaic roof that can be deployed or folded away at the push of a button? ” Many industrial zones or installations can be exploited for solar energy production, but it is out of the question to cover them permanently because they must remain accessible, for example for handling with a crane ” answers the swiss company dhp technology which invented and installs retractable solar roofs.
In Switzerland, the potential of solar energy is much greater than that of wind farms. And yet today it only represents around 3% of the electricity mix produced in the country.
« Building photovoltaic plants on virgin sites is complicated in Switzerland, because our country is already in difficulty with the shrinking of free spaces. You have to explore new ideas Explains Andreas Hügli, founder and managing partner of the dhp technology start-up based in Zizers, Graubünden. ” Many industrial areas can be exploited for solar energy production without disturbing anyone ” he continues ; “On the contrary, the projection of shadows is sometimes welcome in summer ».
He thinks in particular of wastewater treatment plants. There are more than 800 of them in Switzerland and they consume large amounts of electricity. Powering them by photovoltaic plants would relieve the electricity grid, but it is out of the question to cover the settling ponds with fixed panels, because they must remain accessible for operations using cranes. « This is where our patented invention comes in: a lightweight and retractable solar roof that we have named HORIZON. », Specifies Gian Andri Diem, also founder and managing partner of dhp.
At the push of a button, the solar panels expand or fold away
Lightweight retractable panels
At the push of a button, the solar panels, made up of mono and polycrystalline cells, unfold or fold. Thus they do not prevent maintenance operations and handling such as the replacement of certain elements. The panels can also take shelter automatically, for example in the event of a storm, hail or heavy snowfall. Since photovoltaic modules do not have to withstand all weather conditions, they do not contain glass, to lighten the structure. Deployed above a settling tank, they also offer the advantage of reducing the proliferation of algae and therefore of reducing maintenance costs.
The panels can take shelter in the event of a storm, hail or heavy snowfall.
A first pilot installation was commissioned in 2018 above the settling basin of the Chur wastewater treatment plant. When fully deployed, this roof covers the area of a small football field (5,500 m2). With a power of 643 kWp, it produces around 550,000 kWh of green electricity per year, which corresponds to the consumption of around 120 households, and covers 20% of the station’s needs.
Installation in the parking lot of a cable car
The installation apparently met the expectations of its operator since in January 2019 it received the “Watt d’Or” awarded by the Federal Office of Energy and, a few months later, the “Swiss Solar Prize”. Orders followed: a HORIZON solar roof has since been installed in the Flums wastewater treatment plant and more are planned in Bassersdorf, Münsterlingen and Romanshorn.
Dhp technology does not intend its invention only for industrial sites. A HORIZON was recently installed in the 152-space parking lot of the Jakobsbad-Kronberg cable car in the canton of Appenzell. With a surface area of 4,000 m2, its power is 420 kWp. The electricity produced will be self-consumed by the station but it will also be used to supply the charging stations for electric vehicles made available in the car park. Cost of this achievement: around 2,400 euros per kilowatt installed, or a little over one million euros.

But why invent a photovoltaic roof that can be deployed or folded away at the push of a button? ” Many industrial zones or installations can be exploited for solar energy production, but it is out of the question to cover them permanently because they must remain accessible, for example for handling with a crane ” answers the swiss company dhp technology which invented and installs retractable solar roofs.
In Switzerland, the potential of solar energy is much greater than that of wind farms. And yet today it only represents around 3% of the electricity mix produced in the country.
« Building photovoltaic plants on virgin sites is complicated in Switzerland, because our country is already in difficulty with the shrinking of free spaces. You have to explore new ideas Explains Andreas Hügli, founder and managing partner of the dhp technology start-up based in Zizers, Graubünden. ” Many industrial areas can be exploited for solar energy production without disturbing anyone ” he continues ; “On the contrary, the projection of shadows is sometimes welcome in summer ».
He thinks in particular of wastewater treatment plants. There are more than 800 of them in Switzerland and they consume large amounts of electricity. Powering them by photovoltaic plants would relieve the electricity grid, but it is out of the question to cover the settling ponds with fixed panels, because they must remain accessible for operations using cranes. « This is where our patented invention comes in: a lightweight and retractable solar roof that we have named HORIZON. », Specifies Gian Andri Diem, also founder and managing partner of dhp.
At the push of a button, the solar panels expand or fold away
Lightweight retractable panels
At the push of a button, the solar panels, made up of mono and polycrystalline cells, unfold or fold. Thus they do not prevent maintenance operations and handling such as the replacement of certain elements. The panels can also take shelter automatically, for example in the event of a storm, hail or heavy snowfall. Since photovoltaic modules do not have to withstand all weather conditions, they do not contain glass, to lighten the structure. Deployed above a settling tank, they also offer the advantage of reducing the proliferation of algae and therefore of reducing maintenance costs.
The panels can take shelter in the event of a storm, hail or heavy snowfall.
A first pilot installation was commissioned in 2018 above the settling basin of the Chur wastewater treatment plant. When fully deployed, this roof covers the area of a small football field (5,500 m2). With a power of 643 kWp, it produces around 550,000 kWh of green electricity per year, which corresponds to the consumption of around 120 households, and covers 20% of the station’s needs.
Installation in the parking lot of a cable car
The installation apparently met the expectations of its operator since in January 2019 it received the “Watt d’Or” awarded by the Federal Office of Energy and, a few months later, the “Swiss Solar Prize”. Orders followed: a HORIZON solar roof has since been installed in the Flums wastewater treatment plant and more are planned in Bassersdorf, Münsterlingen and Romanshorn.
Dhp technology does not intend its invention only for industrial sites. A HORIZON was recently installed in the 152-space parking lot of the Jakobsbad-Kronberg cable car in the canton of Appenzell. With a surface area of 4,000 m2, its power is 420 kWp. The electricity produced will be self-consumed by the station but it will also be used to supply the charging stations for electric vehicles made available in the car park. Cost of this achievement: around 2,400 euros per kilowatt installed, or a little over one million euros.

Marking the resumption of major European trade shows, the Viva Technology show attracted some 26,000 visitors to Porte de Versailles, from June 16 to 19. A figure which is pushed to 140,000 by counting the professionals who connected to the paid platform of the event. Laying a lasting basis for future hybrid meetings.
Some 114,000 professionals had spent 50 euros to follow live and in replay the many conferences and programs filmed on site, and broadcast on a platform which will remain operational until the end of November. Although the approach is not new, the “sanitary pass” limiting the number of simultaneous visitors to the show to 5,000 has given it new importance.
The ceiling had forced the organizers to also adapt the physical format of the show, which occupied only half of Hall 1 of the Parc des Expositions, with 840 physical exhibitors out of the 1,400 that made up the hybrid event. Among them, many startups gathered under the countries of large groups, such as the imposing LVMH Pavilion, the space dedicated to the La Poste galaxy, or the very lively BpiFrance stand, not to mention the many spaces managed by the regions.
“It should also be noted that 19 countries have chosen VivaTech to present the best of their startup ecosystem: Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, India, Lithuania, Morocco, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Canada, India, Japan, Tunisia, South Korea, Pakistan, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Singapore, Taiwan “, point out the organizers.
This edition brought together more than 400 speakers. In addition to a good part of the executive, the edition gathered in particular around the speeches of Emmanuel Macron, Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Tim Cook (Apple) or Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speeches that would have accumulated 1.7 billion views from 149 countries. At the same time, the various networking devices, physical and online, would have made it possible to generate some 152,000 business contacts.

While the majority of major European leagues have taken steps to implement Goal Line Technology, La Liga management has once again expressed its refusal to implement this expensive technology in its competitions. Decryption …
La Liga BBVA will not benefit from Goal Line Technology in the 2016-17 season. And its implementation is not planned for immediately to believe the words of Javier Tebas, boss of the Spanish league, who recently spoke on the subject.
While most of the major European leagues have made the financial effort to equip themselves with this innovative system of determining whether the ball has completely crossed the goal line – the Premier League has been using this system since the 2014-15 season while the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 have installed this device in all their stadiums for the start of the 2015-16 season – La Liga is still reluctant to allocate a significant budget envelope to acquire relatively little used equipment .
La Goal Line Technology coûte 4 M€
Indeed, setting up the Goal Line Technology represents a cost of around € 200,000 per stadium. An investment that includes the installation of 7 cameras at 500 images per second and the cabling to the servers to operate the system. Thus, the establishment of Goal Line Technology in a competition contested by 20 clubs represents a financial burden of € 4 million. An amount that was fully supported by the LFP in Ligue 1, avoiding any controversy about such an investment.
Clearly, with operating revenues exceeding € 2 billion – and which should exceed the € 3 billion mark from 2016-17 thanks to the reassessment of its TV rights – Spanish professional football seems largely capable of supporting a investment of 4 M €. Nevertheless, it is the frequency of use of such a tool that would deter the leaders of the Spanish league from making this investment. An argument which is admissible but the league could find itself in great difficulty if a contentious decision concerning the validation of a goal were to ostensibly impact the final ranking of Liga and thus the remuneration of TV prizes …
