The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team has selected Kenwood Communications, Suwanee, GA, as its official supplier of radio communications equipment through 2004.
As part of the agreement, Kenwood will supply 160 of its model TK-380 UHF portable radios, as well as cases, chest packs, speaker mics, earphones and technical assistance. Athletes and coaches will use equipment during training and competition. The teams are part of the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, which is the United States’ Olympic governing body for all skiing and snowboarding.
About 50% of all sports at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City fall under the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Teams. The USSA sponsors six sports programs and 14 men’s and women’s national teams.
