Epic connectivity

Connecting the Cape Epic is no easy feat, but it’s a challenge that the sports-mad Dimension Data team is keen to take on.

The Absa Cape Epic truly is an epic event. A mountain bike stage race, this eight-day adventure sees teams of cyclists covering over 700 kilometres, with about 15 000m of climbing, and withstanding some of the toughest, and most remote, terrain the Western Cape has to offer. The Epic is also the largest full-service mountain bike stage race in the world, which basically means that the riders need only worry about their bikes and their bodies, everything else is taken care of.

A key aspect of this full-service experience comes down to connectivity. This is where Dimension Data comes in as the official technology sponsor for the event. “We’re a performance-driven organisation and our founders always have been, and remain, totally and utterly sports-mad,” says Jeff Jack, head of digital infrastructure, Dimension Data MEA.
