Fleet Complete to Track Everest Summit, Sponsoring Greek Ultra-Endurance Athlete
TORONTO, April 2, 2019 / PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -

  -- Fleet Complete is sponsoring Dr. Georgios-Ioannis Tsianos in his Mt 
Everest climbing expedition this spring and will be tracking his ascent from 
day one through a dedicated telematics platform in 3D.

Certified in Expedition and Travel Medicine, Dr. Georgios-Ioannis Tsianos has 
been involved in ultra-sporting challenges for more than a decade, continuously 
defying the boundaries of human limits. This spring, Tsianos will be attempting 
his second Everest summit since 2004, working together with Fleet Complete to 
track and map out his ascent through a connected digital platform. 

With the sponsorship, Fleet Complete will be providing GPS trackers and access 
to their telematics platform to track Tsianos' ascent of Mt Everest from day 
one in 3D. The summit data will include GPS location, altitude and speed, which 
will be of particular significance in the last 10 days of the climb to the 
mountain summit.

"Teaming up with Fleet Complete during my expedition to Mt Everest will 
undoubtedly explore what is possible in tracking human activity, even on 
earth's most extreme and remote environments. A company with a vision for 
success and, above all, safety, their technology will provide the reassurance 
that I need when it matters the most," says Georgios Tsianos. 

"We are extremely proud to sponsor Georgios. He is a true pioneer in 
championing extreme environmental conditions – climbing Mount Everest, swimming 
the English Channel, and completing the Sahara Desert marathon," says Tony 
Lourakis, founder and CEO of Fleet Complete. "We at Fleet Complete are strong 
supporters of innovators, of those who push the boundaries of what is possible, 
and those who are determined to make their goal a reality. Our goal is to 
connect everything, everywhere, even if it's Mount Everest." 

Prior to his summit attempt, Tsianos' mountaineering expedition will also 
include the role of a high altitude medic to oversee the 'LMAX Everest Rugby 
Challenge' at 6,400 meters on the north side of Mt Everest. He will be 
collaborating with Dr. Andreas Flouris from FAME Lab in Greece as researcher of 
human physiology in extreme environmental conditions. The scientific data from 
Mt Everest will be among the first of its kind to be collected under the 
conditions of severe lack of oxygen and extreme cold.
