The Jaguar Timing System Advantage
Prior to Jaguar, nearly all systems used mats or ramps, and most still do today.
This design may suffer for a number of reasons which have been well documented and understood. Let’s examine a few of these issues.
Potential Problems with mat/ramp systems:
- The failure of a single mat/ramp can greatly impact read success
- The chips are essentially in control, not the timing system
- Data collisions can cause severe read problems
- Metal such as rebar in roads can cause issues
- Weather such as snow, ice or mud can cause lost reads
- Read distance from the chip to the mat or ramp is often very short
- Read redundancy is limited due to short chip views
- Electrical power lines and RF noise can cause read problems
- Potential danger to the athlete who may trip or slip
- Damage can occur to the mats or ramps from heavy vehicles
- Difficult to use on open roads with automobile traffic
- High density of athletes can cause missed chip reads
Advantages of the Jaguar System Design:
- The failure of a single antenna has little impact on read success
- The system controls the chips, not the other way around
- Metal objects near the finish line are not a concern
- Weather such as snow, ice or mud is not a great concern
- Distance from the chip to the antenna can be up to 50 feet
- The system can see the chip coming and adjust to density
- Redundancy is far superior to mat or ramp systems
- Electrical noise and RF noise are not a problem
- Chips are read multiple times, which increases read success
- Athletes don’t run the risk of tripping or slipping on a mat or ramp
- Can be used on open roads and reads chips from the sides
- Software and hardware work together to maximize read success
