Groupama-FDJ powers real-time cycling race operations with Marlink’s hybrid connectivity solution

Oslo and Paris, 09.06.2026. Marlink, the global leader in secure managed services for business-critical digital solutions, has been selected by Groupama-FDJ United, to deliver, install, monitor and manage Starlink and LTE connectivity across their fleet of team vehicles. The delivery is supported by ongoing service management and technical support, ensuring robust on-the-move communications for the 2026 World Tour racing season and beyond.

The deployment provides an integrated foundation for managing internet connectivity and applications across the team’s mobile environment. Through this partnership, Groupama-FDJ is equipping its vehicles with a hybrid network combining Starlink and terrestrial LTE, enabling seamless, uninterrupted connectivity even at high speeds. The solution delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency communications to support behind-the-scenes reporting and real-time exchanges between the Sporting Director and team coordinators.

Recognised as one of France’s leading cycling teams, Groupama-FDJ continues to pair elite sporting performance with a forward-looking approach to technology. As modern racing increasingly relies on real-time data and coordination across remote terrain, reliable connectivity has become a critical operational enabler.

Marlink’s integrated mobility solution provides the team with a competitive edge, allowing race management to follow live broadcasts and make informed decisions in real time. By dynamically leveraging both Starlink and LTE, the solution supports resilient, uninterrupted connectivity and HD video streaming, while intelligent power management ensures operational continuity during critical race moments - even when vehicles are stationary with engines off. The deployment also lays the groundwork for radio over IP in moving vehicles, with guaranteed coverage and dedicated support.

A key advantage is the ability to maintain always-on connectivity in mountainous and remote regions where cellular networks are often limited or congested. This ensures uninterrupted delivery of race updates, media content and team communications during races, enabling faster, more reliable engagement with fans, sponsors, partners and other stakeholders across international routes.
