Case Study: The Dakar Rally achieves reliable live desert connectivity with Peplink MAX Transit Duo LTE‑A
A Peplink Case Study
The Dakar Rally - Customer Case Study
The Dakar Rally, the 42nd edition held across Saudi Arabia’s deserts, presented extreme connectivity challenges: stages over 400 km, nearly 8,000 km of racing, and more than 75% of the route on sand with limited coverage. Journalist Franco Iannone needed guaranteed, fast internet for live testimonials and updates, so he turned to Know IT for a solution built around Peplink hardware — notably the MAX Transit Duo LTE‑A.
Know IT deployed Peplink’s MAX Transit Duo LTE‑A with four SIMs, two external antennas, SpeedFusion bonding, and remote management to ensure robust cellular failover and bonded links. The Peplink-based solution delivered fast, jitter‑free uploads of photos, videos and live interviews across all 12 stages, enabled accurate GPS tracking and remote device management, and kept Iannone reliably online throughout the nearly 8,000 km event.
