Real-time information with reliable connectivity

The latest high-speed connectivity technologies provide racing teams with unprecedented levels of real-time data, from engine temperatures to the grip of tires. Around 2,000 key performance indicators (KPIs) are collected from sensors, requiring reliable, high-bandwith technologies for live decision making.

Our range of innovative, lightweight, ultra-robust connectivity solutions provide increased density and high-speed data transmission compatible with the latest data protocols. Engineered to prevent water and dust ingress and resist high temperatures, vibration, shock and corrosion, our high-performance solutions are suited to all motorsport series including F1, WRC, Formula E and Green GT.

 

We provide technical racing teams with solutions tailored to support the development of their own specific systems.

Flash drive data loggers

Fischer Rugged Flash Drives are used in championships such as the Ferrari Challenge as an extremely compact and ultra-robust data logger in alternative to telemetry.

smart_antenna

Smart antennas

Used in FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and Formula E World Championship, the device is mounted on behind the pedals to transmit, via radio, detailed information to the box in case of crash events, including pilots’ biometric data. This device is rugged enough to resist extremely violent shock so that it can work after an accident.
