How it works

Athlete tracking: how it works, and what it pays back.

The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.

1 · Tag

Players wear a lightweight tag in the vest or kit.

2 · Track

UWB fixes indoor courts to ±10 cm; GNSS-RTK covers outdoor pitches.

3 · Analyse

Speed, distance, accelerations, load and heatmaps — per player, live and post-session.

Where it pays back

Industries this solution suits

In practice

Every metre, sprint and load.

A club tags its players — UWB indoors, GNSS-RTK outdoors. Coaches see speed, distance and workload live, manage load to cut soft-tissue injuries, and base return-to-play decisions on data.

Typically bought by: Sports science, S&C coaches, medical / physio, performance directors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is athlete tracking, and at what update rate?

Team-sport analytics typically needs decimetre-level accuracy at 10-25 Hz so sprints, accelerations and positioning are captured cleanly. UWB delivers that indoors and out; GNSS-RTK suits large open pitches. We match the technology to the sport and the metrics that matter.

Will it work indoors, outdoors and in mixed venues?

Yes. UWB anchors cover indoor courts and arenas where GPS fails; GNSS and GNSS-RTK cover open pitches; a hybrid handles venues with both. The tag stays on the athlete; the positioning method changes with the environment.

What metrics can we actually get?

Distance, speed, acceleration and deceleration, load and high-intensity efforts, heatmaps, time-in-zone, and team shape and spacing - exportable to the performance and medical platforms your analysts already use.

Is it approved for competition or just training?

Governing-body and EPTS rules vary by sport and competition. Many systems are used freely in training and increasingly in-match where permitted. We help you choose hardware that fits your league's wearable rules.

How does it integrate with our analysis tools?

Position and event data export via API or CSV into the strength-and-conditioning, video and medical systems your analysts already use, so it adds to your workflow rather than replacing it.
