Tag Performance Analysis

You can find a detailed analysis of our tags on this page. This is a mathematical analysis on how our tags will perform.

Starting Constants

This outlines a lot of the base constants for the following calculations, incase someone wishes to validate them themselves

Max Participants Density

This calculates what density of participants you can have in a set area. These resulting numbers are a static number, and no not account for any runner speed!
IE if you had X number of participants all standing on a mat. Over 1 second, you could scan / detect that many participants

Consider these numbers as how many participants are able to cross the mat over 1 second, and still have reliable detection.

Max Participant Speed

Timing Precision

This calculates what is the precision of timing when using a specific tag. We assume that 3 reads is required for a confirmed passing / sighting for a participant. We show what the resolution in milliseconds will be at different speeds, along with the number of reads the system will be able to detect.

A red number indicates that is no longer reasonable to assume that you will get a guaranteed read. It is up to the customer's choice if they want to risk not reliably detecting a runner. We do not recommend using a specific tag in a use case with anything less than 3 reads.

Lifespan

Since we use active tag technology for all of our HF tags, they have a defined lifespan once manufactured as the battery is continually drained till flat.

We order them new for every customer order.
