weBoost, providers of cellular signal amplifier technology, has announced it has been named the official cell signal booster partner of Subaru Motorsports USA. As part of its support of Subaru Motorsports USA, weBoost will provide cellular signal boosters for Subaru Motorsports USA’s vehicles in all American Rally Association (ARA) rallies and marketing events across the United States.
In rally racing, some of the most skilled drivers in the world race through the forest on dirt, snow, gravel and tarmac-covered roads, tackling intense obstacles at incredible speeds and often with nothing but the event organizer’s stage notes to prepare them for what’s ahead in the course. In order to compete at their best, Subaru Motorsports USA said it needs to be able to effectively communicate with their drivers, so they know which turn, jump, crest or hazard is coming up next. In addition, the team needs to be able to connect with colleagues in other locations and share real-time updates with fans via social media. At many U.S. rally locations, poor cellular connectivity makes this nearly impossible. Proven to provide solid cellular connectivity in vehicles including cars, trucks and RVs, weBoost cellular signal boosters are the perfect solution, according to the automaker.
“Before weBoost, poor cell signal at the tracks was not only impacting the quality of our general communications, but also creating potential safety issues by preventing us from being in contact with our cars at all times,” said Dan Anctil, team manager at Subaru Motorsports USA. “Since installing weBoost’s solution in our vehicles, we’ve been blown away by the difference it’s made. Where before we couldn’t even place a call, we’re now able to stay in constant contact throughout the races, allowing us to operate at peak performance and providing peace of mind that our drivers are safe should they need to call for help.”
