An extensive line-up of cutting edge SAILOR systems backed up by Thrane & Thrane’s global service concept - the On Board Service Center network – ensures that teams and race organisers have the very best communications solutions at their disposal.
“The Volvo Ocean Race is one of the toughest sporting events in the world. It reflects our philosophy of overcoming the challenges of communication in extreme environments so we are proud that the organisers have chosen us once again as the communications equipment provider“, says Walther Thygesen, CEO of Thrane & Thrane A/S. “We will play an important part in the organisation of the race and the safety of the crew and boats as they constantly perform to the very limits of physical endurance.
