Ladies and Gentlemen:

Team North American Eagle™ is pleased to announce our new sponsor Tropos® Networks.  Tropos® Networks with their MetroMesh™ Technology will be providing wireless broadband connectivity while the NAE™ Team  is testing in our remote desert locations. 

A Tropos® Networks MetroMesh™ mobile wireless router will be placed in the team’s race car which will communicate with fixed Tropos MetroMesh routers on-site to deliver a wireless secure broadband network over the entire course.  As a result, Steve Wallace our data acquisition engineer will receive incoming data in real time at our command center.  Until now, with onboard data acquisition equipment from PCB Piezotronics delivering 3.2 million signals a second, team members had to wait till the run was complete to download data and begin the crucial post run analysis.

TheTropos Network partnership with Team North American Eagle™ provides us the ability to reduce our cycle time between runs plus increase driver, vehicle and spectator safety by enabling us move towards a real time operation.

Team North American Eagle is proud to be associated with Tropos Networks and looks forward to sharing our goal to break the 763 mph world land speed record for automobiles.
