Race Day WiFi Access & Live Video This Weekend!

Home, Press Release No Comments

The Verizon u25 Team p/b ABD is proud to start offering race day WiFi access and live video feeds this weekend at the Hillsboro Roubaix Road Race in Hillsboro, Illinois. The team will be on-site starting around 9 a.m. and will be broadcasting a wifi signal from their team vehicle for up to 10 users at a time. In addition, the team will also have a Verizon 3G-enabled netbook available for public use and riders and staff’s Motorola Droids can be used to stream live video at points throughout the day. (The WiFi signals will be broadcast even when the team is out racing).
Any live videos the team captures will be streamed at www.qik.com/vzwcycling and uploaded to the YouTube channel at http://www.verizoncyclingteam.com/gallery/video/
The team invites and riders, officials or spectators to use any of the devices to tweet, blog, or upload photos or videos about your race and your team.
Passwords for the MiFi devices are available by calling 818-396-7713 and listening to a 10 second message (it is not a marketing message and your information will never be shared). The password will change every weekend but this will most likely be the number to call into.
In order to access the MiFi devices, just head over to the team car and search for SSID’s “Verizon MiFi Secure …”. (SSID’s are the name of the wifi signal the devices are sending out). Punch in the password and you’re all set! Since we are only able to accommodate so many users at a time please limit your sessions to 15 minutes if others are waiting.
See you at the race!
