Ipico Technology
TECHNOLOGY:
IPICO Sports Dual Frequency technology provides:
Reliable Read Rates – Transmitters and Receivers always on,
competitors alternate between the two which allows for missed reads.
Data capture 50 times faster than Championchip
Immunity to interference from:
metals (metal fencing)
liquids (precipitation, sweat)
carbon (human bodies)
Capacity - Software algorithm allows simultaneous reads hundreds
of athletes on a single 2.5M mat
The IPICO Timing System employs an IPICO IP-X dual-frequency
passive tag embedded in a piece of plastic a bit smaller than a
business card, which has holes to accommodate being laced onto the
top of a running shoe, as well as interrogator antennas that can be
integrated into mats installed along a course; the antennas are linked
to readers networked to a back-end server. The IP-X dual-frequency
tag is powered by a signal from a low-frequency (125 kHz to 135 kHz)
interrogator, but the tag uses a high-frequency (13.56 MHz) signal to
transmit its data to the reader.
