Ultra Timing System On Its Way To The Uk

Yes, I have mentioned it in passing on several occasions we've got them on order and they are enroute.  ULTRA is here to buy or here to have service your event.

The key advantages of the ULTRA is the Disposible Chip which makes the management of running events so easy you will wonder what you ever did before.  The technology in RFID changes almost daily but this new system takes advantage of the latest standards and applies industrial qualtity components in a neat but very functional package.

It interesting that our competitors are touting their own systems with a disposible chip but frankly only ours is here and ready for use.

Success at the Melbourne Marathon in Q3 2009 means that its a brave new world in running race timing.  For more information please use the contact form or to read more see the press release.
