A WiFi access point at the car for paddock-side work. Cellular LTE for everywhere else. Seamless failover between them, so the car is always reachable.
Creates a dedicated, low-latency wireless network at the car. Connect a laptop or tablet, push parameter changes, pull session logs — without depending on track WiFi or cell coverage.
An LTE Cat-1 or 5G modem keeps the car online from anywhere with cell coverage. True remote operation — monitor, push updates, and stream telemetry without being trackside.
The Black Box monitors both radios continuously and routes traffic over whichever path is healthier. If WiFi drops mid-lap, cellular takes over — silently, without a reconnect.
High-frequency channels stream over WiFi or cellular as the lap runs. Compression keeps cellular usage low. Buffering keeps nothing lost when coverage drops.
Telemetry packets are quantized and delta-encoded. A typical session uses a fraction of the bandwidth of raw streaming, so cellular plans last longer.
When connectivity drops, the Black Box keeps writing to local storage. The moment a radio comes back, queued samples replay to the broker — nothing missed.
Most channels stream at 5 Hz. Critical state changes — Race1 arming, mode transitions — push as events the moment they happen.
Every Black Box can publish telemetry to a single MQTT broker — yours or ours. Compare drivers in real time, replay the session later, push commands back to any car on the grid.
Watch wing angles, throttle, and lap deltas across every car at once. Spot setup differences live.
Update parameters or arm Race1 mode for any car from a single console. No paddock visit required.
Bring your own MQTT broker, or publish to the GBC managed cloud. Both speak the same protocol.
Telemetry is archived per session, addressable by car and timestamp. Compare yesterday's lap with today's.
Tuning parameters, firmware revisions, and configuration deltas arrive over the air — locally over WiFi or remotely over LTE. Every build is signed; the car validates before it boots.
Connect a laptop to the car's access point. Push firmware, parameters, or a full configuration in seconds. No internet required.
From the office or another continent, push the same updates to any Black Box on cellular. Signed builds only — the car refuses anything else.
Every Black Box ships with both radios, the failover stack, and a managed broker option. No subscription. No tier. The full network is standard.
