Bolt6

In less than 2 years since developing our first tennis system, we are delighted to share the results from our first tennis Grand Slam at the Australian Open! Throughout the tournament, we brought the latest in tennis technology to the biggest stage: ⚡ Automated Foot Fault Detection - successful offline trials 🎥 Limb Tracking 📏 Electronic Line Calling - including the world’s first fully remote match 🔮 Live Augmented Reality 📡 Broadcast Enhancements We tracked 480,000+ bounces, 1300+ matches, across 17 courts. Every ounce of sweat, every sleepless night, and every breakthrough led us to that unforgettable moment in Melbourne. But this is just the beginning. The future of tennis is here — and it’s powered by technology. A huge thank you to Tennis Australia for trusting us to revolutionise the game, and to our amazing partners - ESPN, Nine, Eurosport, Gravity Media, and GIRRAPHIC. Together, we look forward to 2026 and to rewriting the playbook for the next generation of tennis. 🌍 🚀

As we enter the new year, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on the many groundbreaking projects we’ve accomplished together. There’s so much to be grateful for. Before stepping into the new year, we want to take this opportunity to celebrate one of our own – Marc McLaughlin. Marc is quintessentially Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 – embodying a resilient, no-nonsense attitude and a fantastic sense of humor. Since joining us a little over a year ago, he has not only excelled in his role but has also quickly progressed to become our Operations Lead. This progression was no coincidence though. From day one, Marc has worn many hats 👷🏻♂️🧢 (pun intended – see photos for proof), handling his responsibilities with diligence while always thinking beyond his job description. His significant improvements to our on-site safety practices have set new standards for the team, making a lasting impact on our work environment. 🙌🏻 Currently, Marc is in New Zealand, leading our tennis operations, and continuing to show the same dedication and leadership that has made him such an integral part of our team. As we reflect on his contributions and look ahead to a new year, we’re excited for what’s to come not only for Marc but our entire team. 🎆 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with new opportunities, growth, and success! 🎄
