Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli selects CommScope’s RUCKUS Networks as Wi-Fi official supplier

Dubai, UAE – Elite sailing team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has selected RUCKUS Networks as its Wi-Fi official supplier for the second consecutive race as it seeks to qualify for the 37th America’s Cup.

New for this year, the team will be able to take advantage of the AI-driven RUCKUS Cloud platform, as well as employing RUCKUS Wi-Fi equipment to connect its 75-foot long AC75 racing yacht.

The team will take advantage of RUCKUS Network’s industry leading data transmission software, commencing with the Selection Series; a preliminary competition between teams from Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland and France. The winner of the Selection Series will then challenge the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, in the final match of the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, in October 2024.

The Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team will rely on the RUCKUS Wi-Fi network to carry data from onboard sensors and devices to a local server and to their support boats. The yacht is equipped with hundreds of sensors, along with mobile devices, wearable technology and on-board instrumentation, all of which generate data that must be gathered regardless of weather conditions and signal obstruction from materials in the boat itself.
