IPICO unveils Electronic Sports Timekeeping Solutions

IPICO Inc has launched its Sports Timekeeping (STK) solutions, the solutions based on Dual Frequency and UHF RFID technology for the global sports industry. IPICO along with its strategic partners in South Africa, Australia and the USA have successfully completed extensive tests to qualify IPICO's STK product portfolio. The Timekeeping solutions are very useful in timekeeping of mass participation sports events such as marathon, cross county running, cycling and other such events.

Luther Erasmus, COO at IPICO quoted,

Our Dual Frequency technology platform has been developed at the Integrated Circuit level and excels in applications where large volumes of dynamic tag populations must be read in difficult RF environments at distances from 0.5 meter up to 2 meters, and with an accuracy of 20 milliseconds or better. The sports market is therefore ideal for stress testing and qualifying the technology platforms for other mainstream applications.
