Congratulations to Atlantic Polo Team: Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge!

Congratulations to the Atlantic Polo Team who completed the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge today - winning the fours class and finishing 2nd overall, ahead of 11 other teams!

The Talisker Whisky Challenge is one of the toughest races on Earth- more people have climbed Everest or been into space than have rowed across the Atlantic! It took the team 48 days and 7 hours to row 3000 miles, from La Gomera to Antigua, in shifts of two hours on, two hours of- a grueling challenge but an amazing achievement! We lent the team an Iridium 9555 and Speedmail Email and Web Compression software to help them to keep in touch with home during their challenge.

Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone

The Iridium 9555 is one of the most reliable satellite phones available on the market. This is due to Satellite Phone taking full advantage of the Iridium’s truly global coverage. The 9555 is water, shock, and dust resistant offering the perfect solution for the Atlantic Polo Team in this race.

SpeedMail

SpeedMail provides an easier way of accessing and sending emails while away from conventional online networks. Due to its email compression software, it makes the sending of emails up to 15 times faster than when using standard web-based email services like Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo, and can save up to 85% on satellite airtime.
