Team Dejero takes on Targa Newfoundland
Behind the wheel for Team Dejero will be Kevin Fernandes, Chief Revenue Officer at Dejero, alongside co-driver Devo Jones, a decorated former RCMP officer whose career was built on communications that can’t fail. They are not professional racers. They are a statement.
Dejero, the global leader in intelligent connectivity for broadcasters, public safety agencies, and mission-critical operations, entered a landmark partnership with Targa Newfoundland as the event’s official connectivity partners for 2026. Together, they will do what no one has done in the rally’s 24-year history: keep every stage of North America’s only tarmac rally connected and stream it live, free, to the world.
“We chose Targa Newfoundland because it’s the hardest possible test. Two thousand kilometres of remote terrain, six days of rallying, zero tolerance for failure,” said Kevin Fernandes, Chief Revenue Officer at Dejero. “If it works here, and it will, it works anywhere. That’s not a marketing claim. It’s a proof point.”
Powered by Dejero Smart Blending TechnologyTM, the same platform that keeps news crews live from active disaster zones, war correspondents connected from conflict regions, and first responders communicating in the field, and [PARTNER]’s [connectivity/satellite/network] infrastructure, the 2026 race will be covered end to end. Where cellular networks fail, the system blends in LEO satellite and fixed broadband automatically.
