That is when Cisco Systems will power a system that will let Red Bull Cheever
Racing drivers Alex Barron and Patrick Carpentier communicate with the pit crews
and also give them access to real time race data and other stats.
Among the technologies being put to work by San Jose-based networking giant
include Cisco Aironet 1100 and 1300 Series Access Points, the Cisco Mobile
Access Router and Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phones with VoIP capabilities.
"Cisco is changing the way our team communicates and analyzes data," said Eddie
Cheever Jr., owner, Red Bull Cheever Racing.
"For example, using the Cisco solution, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in a
single-lap around the track, we get nearly double the amount of coverage, in the
transmission of data from car to engineers, than any other team. This complete
footprint of the track means we get crucial information when it happens, without
delay. This is the wave of the future and we are extremely excited to partner
with Cisco in this project."
