Should a SPORTident station be mounted on a metal fence or something similar?

No, none of the SPORTident stations (BSF7/8/9/BS11) should be mounted on a metal object. Fences and objects made of iron affect the functionality of all SPORTident stations.

What happens if the GPS watch and the SIAC are worn on the same arm?

In short: The GPS watch can affect the functionality of the SIAC. A GPS watch and the SIAC should therefore not be placed on the same arm. AIR+ Mode can be affected by interference caused by third party devices.

  • How it works

    SI-Card vs SIAC

    The SPORTident system is comprised of two basic elements: stations and cards. Stations are placed on the race track. Each station has a unique control number. Every athlete carries a SPORTident card which records the time and control number as he or she passes the stations during the race.

    After the race, the SPORTident card holds the athlete's start-finish time, split times as well as all control numbers. This data is used to evaluate the race.

The SPORTident approach

Fast setup

SPORTident timing hardware comes preconfigured for your needs. Often, no additional setup is necessary, and the hardware can be used as it is, without even touching a computer. However, it is also easy to understand and change the configuration. We have recommended hardware setups for a wide range of sports and events, and our support staff will be happy to help you find the perfect setup for your specific needs.

Flexible solution

While the basic setup for most needs is straightforward, different product options together with rich configuration possibilities enable you to adapt the timing hardware to almost any use case and scenario you can think of. SPORTident is routinely used in many sports, from Mountain biking to Orienteering, Trail Running, Ultramarathons, Triathlons, Lap runs, Adventure races, and Company races.

Easy to carry

SPORTident timing hardware is small, lightweight and battery powered. For some races, you can fit all the equipment you need in a backpack. Our hardware will happily run unattended, timing your participants, and waiting for you to pick it up after the race. Thanks to our ultra-low-power technology, our most durable stations run on battery for years. While our rechargeable stations run for days on a single charge.

Robust hardware

SPORTident hardware is extremely durable. You can use it at -20°C and +50°C in any terrain, in any weather conditions and under the water. Some of our products have been in continuous use for over ten years now. Our hardware is built to last.

Fully certified

The entire SPORTident hardware product range is completely approved by International Orienteering Federation (IOF) with both the classic punching system and the contactless system. Additionally, SPORTident hardware fulfils all the demands of radio safety in the world, which can be seen in our certificates.

About us

Fascinated by orienteering which was developed in the 20th century in Scandinavia, the founders of SPORTident decided to revolutionise the sport with new technical equipment. To support that sport, the idea to develop a new timing and identification system was born.
