In 1997 the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix came home to Phillip Island. Phillip Island is seen by many as the world’s greatest stage for two-wheeled action. With its combination of fast straights - over 300 km/h on Gardner and sweeping corners, plus two first-gear right-handers, the Island circuits’ four-and-a-half kilometres have a touch of everything. Each year motorcycle enthusiasts from all around Australia migrate to the event and it is watched by millions worldwide, via telecast. The problem faced by many corporations organising events of this magnitude is the requirement for a cost-effective temporary network. The Australian Grand Prix Corporation, the body who host the annual round of the Australia Moto GP and Formula ONE GP in Melbourne, is one such customer. In a joint venture between KRONE Australia and Cable Construction Group (CCG), a 10Mb Terescope Link was supplied and installed at the last round of the World MOTO GP at Philip Island held in October. The requirement was to network the main control tower with the Administration building located approx- imately 800 metres apart. Previous events have relied solely on a 128K ISDN link, which is shared by up to 100 users. The Installation and commissioning was completed by CCG in the week before the event. After the most suitable mounting location was selected the link was operational within 4 hours. The link was in operation 24 hours a day with the trial period being 10 days. Philip Island is well known for its extreme weather conditions, with gail force winds and driving rain of Bass Strait a common occurrence. The link was subjected to sleet, heavy rain, hail and strong winds throughout the 10-day trial. The Terescope link was packet monitored during the trail and despite the inclement weather conditions it was exposed to, it performed without fault. Australian Grandprix Corporation, Assistant IT Manager, Simon Gowland said “We were extremely impressed with the speed at which the link was installed and was operational. The complete time from start to data transfer was less than 4 hours. The whole project was extremely professional. KRONE addressed the AGPC requirements, with CCG providing a quality installation and technical expertise”. Commenting on the performance of the Terescope Gowland said “The Terescope did not miss a beat. I can’t believe how quick it is”. ASPC also wish to utilize the technology at the Australian Formula One event held at Albert Park. The FSO technology is ideal for these applications as it can be moved between sites and be operational within hours, providing cost effective bandwidth. When comparing the cost of leased lines to the Free Space Optics alternative the payback period is very attractive, this combined with increased bandwidth and mobility makes the KRONE Terescope a clear winner. . stage for two-wheeled action.
