CommScope will connect Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailboat team’s 75-foot long AC75 racing yacht with Ruckus Wi-Fi equipment during the PRADA Cup.
The Ruckus Wi-Fi network will carry data from hundreds of onboard sensors and devices to a local server and to accompanying support boats. The yacht is also equipped with mobile devices, wearables and on-board instrumentation, which will all produce data that must be gathered in any type of weather condition and regardless of signal obstruction from materials in the boat itself.
