Juniper will also provide LAN, WAN (Wide Area Network) and remote connectivity trackside at Grand Prix races globally and at testing sessions.
Lotus F1 generates and logs in excess of 15Mb of data per lap, per car, per race; just under 1,000 statistics per lap are calculated and presented back to race engineers; each race weekend generates in excess of 50GB of data; in 2012 Lotus moved more than 4.5TB of data across the world.
Patrick Louis, CEO, Lotus F1 Team, said: “From the design concept of each season’s car, through component engineering and production to testing, qualifying and competing at each race, we have to deliver innovation and excellence with no margin for failure, error or delay. Our network underpins the entire operation, so we need a partner who is equally innovative and reliable, and who can secure the highly valuable data we share across the team. Juniper enables Lotus F1 Team to build the best network so we can strive to be the best grand prix team.”
