OC Technology provides integrated, user friendly communication systems, and tracking systems in partnership with YellowBrick, to enable Adventurers to share their extraordinary stories with the audience and sponsors. OC Technology has been able to leverage sailing campaign management and event management experience which OC Group has gained over the last decade. Part of the OC Group of companies that includes the Offshore Challenges Sailing Team, OC Events and OC Vision, OC Technology are pioneers in bringing together technologies from different industries and ensuring that its products are suitable in every way for the adventure and performance sailing markets.
With nearly 10 years of managing sailing campaigns and events, OC Technology has taken this experience to produce communication tools that can be easily and rapidly deployed by the end-user, minimising the detrimental impact that onboard communications can bring: low power use, lightweight, waterproof, easy to use by exhausted people and easy to problem solve.
OC Technology can help ensure media coverage and sports sponsorship activation benefits, through increased web traffic throughout the entire adventure or race. The product lines by OC Technology include advance onboard media communication systems, reinforced antennas and tracking systems.
OC Technology built and installed the onboard media system that brought Ellen MacArthur's round the world record to the public and media worldwide; has tracked many of the Vendée Globe and Volvo Ocean Race competitors in 2008/09, as well as several record attempts among which the Open 60 Aviva Ocean Racing in their Round Britain and Ireland, Oman Sail's trimaran Musandam round the world, maxi-trimarans Banque Populaire, Sodeb'O and Groupama campaigns, and events such as the Rolex Fastnet Races '07 and '09, Rolex Middle Sea Races '07 to '09.
