In athletics, just a few hundredths of a second can determine the outcome of a competition. That is why precision and reliability in timing systems are essential, from youth competitions to major international events. <\/p>

Microgate solutions are designed to ensure operational continuity, seamless integration with FinishLynx photo-finish systems, and complete management of every phase of the competition, delivering high performance in any context.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Every sporting journey begins with simple but essential competitions. To manage a youth event accurately and efficiently, a system consisting of the ReiPRO timer<\/strong>, two HiSens photocells<\/strong>, transducer<\/strong>, and two HiLink devices<\/strong> ensures reliability and ease of use. The entire system is transportable in just a few bags and ready to use in any environment. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

As the level of competition increases, so do the technical requirements. By integrating a FinishLynx camera<\/strong> into the basic Microgate system, a complete photo-finish solution is created, connected to the HiLink<\/strong> radio receiver, HiSens photocells<\/strong>, and timer. An integrated system enabling more advanced management in compliance with official competition standards. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Road running races, from 5Ks to marathons, require systems capable of managing a large number of participants simultaneously. The Microgate solution combines chip timing using bib or ankle tags with a backup system consisting of HiSens photocells, RTpro timer, and MicroTAB display board, often integrated with video recording systems such as IdentiLynx for additional verification of athlete passages. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Off-road disciplines require flexible and reliable systems capable of adapting to different courses and regulations. In trail running, the main timing system is chip-based with cloud transmission of intermediate checkpoints and time limits. The Microgate solution integrates a backup system with HiSens photocells, RTpro timer, and MicroTAB display board. In vertical races, integration with the HiChrono app allows immediate transmission of finish times to the results center. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
