Iri-Comm - A true team management system

For those of you that are unaware, IRC have been operating now for almost 3 years. We introduced to American off-road the French invented IriTrack live Satellite Safety and communication system, the same system that the FIA Mandated in Dakar.

At the time we introduced this, there was nothing else in the off-road racing environment like it. That does not mean we have been resting on our achievements. For those of you that are aware of what we do – you know that we began conservatively, but we are now mandated for cars and trucks in all Best In The Desert events (on average 170 race vehicles per event), due to the forward thinking and safety conscious Casey Folks. We also track motorbikes and quads, chase vehicles for teams and Race Organizers, as well as helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

We are supplying safety tracking, satellite phone communication and an internet based ‘live event’ viewing page – based on feedback we receive, this is a favourite.

The latest development from our in-house team that we would like to share with you we call IRC's "Iri-Comm” system – Iridium Communication. This is a true team management system. When a race team uses the Iri-Comm system, the whole team knows where every team vehicle is located at any time and any member of the team can communicate thru voice or text with any vehicle within the team at any time. It is fully cost scalable so that even the budget conscious competitor can benefit from its use.

The Iri-Comm system allows a vehicle (it could be a car, truck, helicopter, plane, even boat) to track itself and all other team vehicles simultaneously on high quality maps with everything easily identified and information such as location, times and current speeds provided. It makes no difference if there is no cell phone or internet coverage – it’s not needed. The system works on the Iridium satellite network, even the fully integrated phones. Depending on the event, "Iri-Comm" can also allow you to track other competitors within your class, allowing you to further refine your race strategy "on the fly".

Not only that but all data is archived on our servers and race teams have full access to the data at any time. All individual team data is confidential to each team.

With Iri-Comm, team members including the race car driver are no longer isolated and also benefit from all the safety features incorporated in the "IriTrack" and "E-Track" devices. The race team IS a Team. It is no longer a guessing game, you can now plan and adapt strategies to solve problems though that does not make winning a guarantee – there are some things that IRC cannot control.

Please feel free to contact us at any time – this is too exciting to ignore.
