Siyata Mobile Enhances Baker to Vegas Relay with SD7 Handsets
Las Vegas, Friday, 4 April 2025.
Siyata Mobile’s SD7 handsets are set to provide critical communications support during the Baker to Vegas relay, underscoring their essential role in high-stakes communication scenarios.
Event Significance and Deployment
The 40th annual Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay, scheduled for April 5-6, 2025, represents a significant milestone in law enforcement athletics, covering a demanding 120-mile route from Baker, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada [1]. The event will draw over 10,000 participants [2], making reliable communication infrastructure crucial for safety and coordination. Siyata Mobile’s strategic partnership with the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club (LAPRAAC) ensures comprehensive communication coverage through their SD7 handsets [1].
Technical Capabilities and Integration
The SD7 handsets are designed specifically for mission-critical communications, incorporating FirstNet Ready® certification requirements for High Priority Access across AT&T commercial LTE Bands and Band 14 [3]. This technological capability proves essential for the relay’s medical teams and race organizers who require uninterrupted communication across challenging terrain. The deployment comes at a crucial time for Siyata Mobile, which recently reported a 3.4 million revenue increase in 2024 [4].
Collaborative Framework
The initiative builds on an established foundation of support from key industry players, including Verizon Frontline, which has maintained a long-standing commitment to the event [1]. This multi-stakeholder approach enhances the communication infrastructure’s robustness, particularly crucial given the event’s scale and duration. The deployment demonstrates Siyata’s growing presence in the first responder communication sector, where their products serve various organizations including police, fire, ambulance, and security companies [1].
