These days, everyone wants to be connected.
At the RACV Energy Breakthrough, we have been offering live race results over wifi for over eight years. Now with the help of our wifi partners NodeCity, we’ve believe we’ve built an improved network with greater coverage than ever before.

We’ve set up two different networks for you to connect to over the weekend:

  • racv-race –  dedicated to live race results network for teams in pit lane, and
  • racv-public – a free wifi network for connecting to the interwebs. We’d love to see schools sharing their experiences and photos throughout the weekend. If you want to do this on our Facebook page or via Twitter – even better!

We’ll always prioritise the race network over the public network. Plus we’ll be keeping an eye on bandwidth over the weekend too.

Well, enough jibber-jabber, here’s what you want to know:

nodecity “design, build and evolve networks” – and that’s exactly what they’ve done for the RACV Energy Breakthrough’s onsite wireless network. Over an open event site of approximately two kilometres, nodecity have guided the process of providing teams, parents and spectators with live race results PLUS access to the world wide web to share their stories and experiences in real time. Pretty awesome stuff.
