Crocodile Trophy 2004, Australia
|
Mission:
|
Known as one of the world‘s hardest and most challenging mountain bike races, the Crocodile Trophy receives a lot of media attention. Every single day of the race, journalists had to be provided with footage, pictures and reports. Barely existing communication infrastructure in the Australian outback was an additional hurdle.
|
Technical:
|
Using the SCOTTY Mobile with store & forward option, the organizers were not only able to record videos and to send them directly to the broadcast stations – it even served them to write their daily reports and to mail them with attached pictures to journalists and their support team. The Mobile was powered from a vehicle battery. EMS Storm served as Satcom equipment.

Benefits:
|
No other communication equipment offered such a wide variety of important features to satisfy the communication requirements of the organizers than the SCOTTY Mobile. |
