Island telecoms firm Logic has signed up with an America’s Cup competitor.

The company will supply internet services to SoftBank Team Japan’s Bermuda headquarters.

Charles Cope, Logic’s business development manager, said: “Logic is pleased to be official supplier to SoftBank Team Japan.

“This team has a reputation for being highly technical and they rely on stable bandwidth to train and prepare for competing in the America’s Cup.

“We are excited to work with SoftBank Team Japan and watch them as they prepare for next year’s challenge.”

SoftBank Team Japan is the first Japanese team to compete in the America’s Cup for 15 years and is led by former cup winner Dean Barker.

Mr Barker said: “We are delighted to be working with Logic.

“When we first approached their team, they were quick to develop a solution to support our sailing team base with a dedicated service, helping us to get up and running.

“We’d like to thank them for partnering with us.”
