Safeguard participants

Truly global tracking and messaging solutions are a necessity for any endurance race, be it over sand dunes or across the ocean. Devices like the RockSTAR, deliver two-way SOS, short messages and GPS satellite network tracking, to better safeguard and support competitors. An ideal safety device for remote racing events, the RockSTAR unit works far beyond the reach of Wi-Fi and GSM networks, is waterproof, ruggedised, and built to withstand the most challenging environments.

Mobile Event Control

Reliable connectivity is vital for event coordination and with satellite internet, you can set up Event Control anywhere in the world, with a clear view of the sky. Portable internet solutions empower Managers to stay ontop of actions and issues in near real-time, coordinating between Event HQ, competitors and support crew as required.

Introducing YB Tracking

Ground Control is the parent company of YB Tracking, who have been providing tracking, monitoring and messaging devices for extreme races since 2009. YB started out by equipping yachts with waterproof, ruggedized, tracking devices that also enable short messages – texts, social media updates, short emails – to be sent and received. The applications for other off-the-beaten-track events were soon apparent, and YB devices are being used for land, sea and air events.

If you are looking for a single, personal use tracker or to rent units for a short period of time, YB is the correct choice. Likely to conduct your event more than once and looking to purchase hardware for longer-term use? Get in touch, our team can help.

Team Coordination

Secure a competitive edge for your race team, maintaining reliable voice and data throughout. Better align base logistics and race teams with robust, reliable communications, enabling real-time practical, mission-oriented weather and navigation updates, to drive teams safely across the finish line.

Why work with Ground Control on live race tracking?
