DATARACE
Resilient Connectivity for Field Operations
Guaranteed data delivery in any network condition. DATARACE® technology was developed and certified by Areatec over more than three decades of field operation. It ensures that 100% of enforcement data and transactions are delivered securely, even in areas with unstable or non-existent internet signals.
The challenge of urban networks
Cellular networks in Brazilian cities face dead zones, congestion, and quality variations. Enforcement vehicles travel through areas with unstable coverage, IoT sensors operate in locations with degraded signals, and parking totems are placed in spots where telecommunications infrastructure is poor. Conventional communication protocols were not designed for this "Real World" scenario, resulting in data loss and operational interruptions.
Dead zones
Urban areas with intermittent or non-existent cellular coverage where operational data can be lost by conventional protocols.
Variable latency
Congestion during peak hours causes extreme quality variation on the same route, making conventional solutions inefficient.
Critical telemetry
Enforcement data and legal evidence must reach the server with guaranteed integrity, regardless of network conditions.
How DATARACE works
DATARACE® technology uses an intelligent communication architecture that continuously evaluates network conditions and automatically adapts the delivery strategy to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability in any scenario.
Multiple paths
Multiple communication paths are maintained simultaneously, ready for immediate transmission.
Continuous monitoring
Internal sensors continuously evaluate the quality of each available communication path.
Intelligent decision
The system automatically selects the fastest and most reliable path at every moment, without manual intervention.
Guaranteed delivery
Proprietary confirmation and resend mechanism guarantees 99.9% delivery even in zones without coverage.
Intelligent data architecture that automatically adapts to network conditions, ensuring total integrity without overloading the infrastructure.
DATARACE® vs. conventional solutions
Conventional communication solutions offer only part of the equation: they either guarantee delivery by sacrificing speed, or they are fast but lack confirmation. DATARACE® combines the best of both worlds with proprietary adaptive intelligence.

Market references: DATARACE® stands out for being designed specifically for field operations in Brazilian cities, with over three decades of production validation. The technology is optimized for intermittent connectivity scenarios and guarantees total integrity of operational data.
Where DATARACE operates
The protocol is the transport layer for Areatec's entire field infrastructure, ensuring that critical data reaches its destination regardless of network conditions.
ALPR vehicles in motion
Enforcement vehicles patrol urban routes capturing license plates in real time. DATARACE® ensures that every reading and photographic evidence reaches the central server even in areas with degraded coverage, without loss of operational data.
Pavement IoT sensors
Ground sensors monitor parking space occupancy 24 hours a day. In locations with weak signals, DATARACE® ensures that all readings are preserved and delivered in the correct sequence, without information loss.
Parking meters and totems
Rotary parking equipment installed in low-signal areas rely on DATARACE® to synchronize payment transactions, tariff updates, and expiration alerts with confirmed delivery.
Fixed cameras with Edge AI
Monitoring cameras process data locally and transmit alerts via DATARACE®. The technology automatically prioritizes critical events (infractions, suspicious vehicles) over routine data, ensuring an immediate response.
