“As racing becomes more and more driven by technology innovation, the crew on the boat and the team back at the base rely on the immediate availability of real time data to get the best performance on the water,” says Grant Dalton, CEO of Emirates Team New Zealand.

Emirates Team New Zealand has chosen Spark as its official telecommunications and connectivity partner for the team and for the 36th America’s Cup, which will be held in Auckland in 2021.

The agreement means Spark will provide Emirates Team New Zealand with telecommunications and digital connectivity, both on and off the water, as well as exclusive rights to provide telecommunications services and connectivity within areas controlled by the organising company, America’s Cup Event Limited.

“We have partnered with Spark, in the belief that their expertise in data and connectivity can help give us a competitive edge, and ensure the team is always connected in all mission critical aspects of design, testing and to put us in the best place for racing on the water,” says Grant Dalton, CEO of Emirates Team New Zealand. . . . .  >
