Extreme racing events often take competitors into remote parts of the world: yacht races that cross oceans, ultra marathons that cross mountains, and car rallies that cross deserts, to name but a few! For the safety of all competitors, GPS tracking and monitoring is essential, and when events move out of cellular connectivity, you’ll need satellite connectivity to ensure that there are no black spots where participants and vehicles can’t be found.
Equally, if support is needed, you’re going to want to make sure your support crew can communicate with competitors and Event HQ – so having two way communication that also functions both in and out of cellular range is a safety must-have.
