RaceAI Radio gives drivers, crew, engineers, coaches, and remote team members clear digital communication over cellular connectivity, with recording and transcription built into the platform.
The hardware kit includes the onboard computing, 5G connectivity, driver audio, PTT hardware, and installation components required for the initial RaceAI Radio installation.
The initial Radio hardware kit includes the accessories needed to connect one Android smartphone for team communication.
The customer may use an existing compatible Android smartphone or purchase their own Android smartphone separately.
The Android smartphone and crew racing headset are not included in the hardware kit.
Additional team members can use their own compatible Android smartphones.
Each additional crew member who wants RaceAI Radio headset/PTT operation will need the appropriate RaceAI smartphone PTT and wire harness, available separately from RaceAI.
RaceAI plans to offer iOS support in the future. No release date is currently being published.
Optional Power User and Spectator access can be added separately for users who need multi-team access or listen-only spectator access.
The RaceAI Radio hardware platform is designed so the car can later be upgraded to RaceAI LIVE. LIVE adds the required video-capture hardware and configuration while preserving the core Radio installation.
Early RaceAI Radio customers will receive the current IOTA-based onboard hardware used for the beta program.
RaceAI is developing a sealed production onboard hardware platform planned for 2027.
Customers using early IOTA beta hardware will be offered an exchange option for the sealed production hardware when it becomes available, should they choose to upgrade.
The Radio system operates from the race car's 12 VDC electrical system. The kit includes the required Teltonika power cable and an SBC fuse holder for installation.
The current IOTA-based onboard computer is not sealed production hardware and should be installed in a protected location away from moisture and direct exposure.
A complete cellular-connected race communication system for the car, driver, crew, engineers, coaches, and approved remote team members.
