For three years now, the Allianz Suisse Open Gstaad has been using the ScoreServer of André-Netline. The ScoreServer centralizes all data and results of a tennis tournament and publishes them to different services.

These results are transmitted via wireless lan and without any delay directly to the ScoreServer of André-Netline. That's why the the ScoreServer is able to provide its registered channels with up-to-date results that comply with the official ATP results.
