Case Study
Temporary Connectivity: NXTGenCup
Racing Without Limits — How NextGenCup Electrified Motorsport Connectivity
In the high-speed world of motorsport, every millisecond and megabyte counts. For the NextGenCup, a cutting-edge electric racing series, reliable and high-speed connectivity wasn’t optional—it was mission-critical. Real-time telemetry, live HD video streaming, and seamless team communication had to function flawlessly, even as karts zipped around the track at over 100 mph.
The challenge? Racing circuits are among the most demanding environments for connectivity. Signal dropouts, interference from obstacles, and limited cellular bandwidth are the norm—not the exception.
But with the combined innovation of Bondix by SIMA, Poynting Group, and Teltonika Networks, NextGenCup discovered the winning formula.
The Challenge
Operating in dynamic and harsh environments, NextGenCup faced three major connectivity hurdles:
📶 Signal Dropouts: High-speed motion, concrete structures, and crowd congestion often blocked or degraded LTE/5G signals.
🔄 Handover Delays: Switching between mobile networks while racing caused packet loss and latency spikes.
📊 Bandwidth Limits: HD video and data-rich telemetry quickly saturated a single mobile connection.
Traditional networking solutions simply couldn’t keep up with the demands of a professional electric racing series.
The Solution
A Synergy of Hardware & Intelligence
To overcome these issues, Bondix, Poynting, and Teltonika designed a solution that was as fast and resilient as the vehicles it served.
✅ Signal Capture: Poynting PUCK-5 Antennas & WaveHunter
Each kart was equipped with PUCK-5 antennas, offering omnidirectional, multiband LTE/5G reception.
For the paddock and support zones, WaveHunter antennas ensured stable internet under heavy congestion.
Designed to operate in motion, these antennas delivered consistent signal quality at speeds exceeding 100 mph.
🧱 Rugged Networking Hardware: Teltonika RUT Series
Teltonika’s RUTX12, RUTC50, and TRB500 routers and modems formed the in-vehicle networking core.
Built for extreme environments, these devices supported dual-SIM and 5G capability with industrial-grade reliability.
Their compact form factor made them ideal for installation in the tight confines of a race kart.
🧠 Connectivity Intelligence: Bondix Software
Bondix’s smart aggregation engine created a “superpipe” by bonding multiple cellular connections.
Enabled real-time failover between providers with zero downtime or buffering.
Intelligent traffic shaping prioritized low-latency telemetry and high-bandwidth video streams, adapting on-the-fly to shifting conditions.
The Conclusion
Race-Proven Resilience
The impact was nothing short of transformative:
📡 Continuous Real-Time Telemetry: Engineers received uninterrupted data to fine-tune kart performance.
🎥 Flawless HD Livestreams: Fans around the globe watched every moment without a single buffer.
🔧 Reliable Trackside Operations: Teams had stable internet for diagnostics, strategy, and logistics—even in remote race locations.
This setup proved that mobile connectivity in extreme conditions is not only possible—it can be flawless.
Why It Matters for Your Business
If Bondix, Teltonika, and Poynting can keep a racing kart connected at 100+ mph, imagine what their solution can do for:
🚑 Emergency response vehicles 🚚 Fleet and logistics teams in rural areas 🎬 Live broadcasting units on the move 🛰️ Remote monitoring and IoT deployments
NextGenCup's connectivity solution is more than a motorsport success story—it’s a blueprint for mission-critical mobile networking across industries.
