The TGR Haas F1 Team has confirmed the expansion of its partnership with RUCKUS Networks, naming the enterprise connectivity specialist as the team’s official networking partner.
The enhanced agreement builds on an existing technical collaboration between the two organisations and highlights the increasing strategic importance of secure, high-performance networking infrastructure within modern Formula 1 operations.
Under the terms of the partnership, RUCKUS Networks will provide advanced wired and wireless networking solutions to support Haas’ trackside and factory-based activities. The technology will be deployed across key operational areas, including the team’s garage, pit wall and hospitality environments, delivering reliable, low-latency connectivity in some of the most complex and congested settings in global sport.
Formula 1 teams now operate as mobile data centres, transferring large volumes of telemetry, performance metrics and video data between circuits and remote engineering facilities in real time. Consistent and resilient connectivity has become essential to race strategy execution, car development programmes and operational decision-making across a 24-race calendar.
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of TGR Haas F1 Team, said, “Strong, reliable connectivity is fundamental to our global operations, and I’m pleased to be working with RUCKUS Networks during an important year for the sport. Formula 1 is about speed, efficiency, and reliability, and partnering with RUCKUS Networks allows us to showcase how our networking solutions perform in one of the most data-intensive environments in the world.”
Bart Giordano, SVP and President, RUCKUS Networks, added, “We’re expanding our initial partnership to be the Official Networking Partner of the TGR Haas F1 Team, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Speed and excellence are synonymous with the team, and we know our purpose-driven networks can meet and exceed the demand for performance in an ultracompetitive environment. RUCKUS leads the industry with our innovative AI-driven solutions, which will lend to this partnership. We’re excited to have our technology continue to enable TGR Haas F1 Team’s networks, and we can’t wait to support them again moving forward in the sport.”
RUCKUS Networks specialises in high-density connectivity solutions designed to deliver stability, security and performance in environments with heavy signal interference. Its technology is widely deployed across enterprise, industrial and large-scale venue settings, closely mirroring the technical challenges encountered within the F1 paddock.
For TGR Haas F1 Team, the expanded partnership aligns with a broader focus on operational efficiency and performance optimisation in the cost-cap era. Enhanced data transmission capabilities are expected to improve collaboration between trackside and remote engineering teams, while reducing operational risk during race weekends.
The agreement also delivers global brand exposure for RUCKUS Networks through Haas’ F1 platform, with visibility across team environments and digital channels throughout the season. Formula 1 continues to serve as a premium showcase for technology partners seeking to demonstrate innovation, reliability and performance on a worldwide stage.
The partnership further illustrates the evolution of F1 teams into highly sophisticated technology-driven organisations, where competitive advantage is increasingly shaped by data, connectivity and operational precision alongside on-track performance.
