The single biggest point of difference between the ULTRA timing systems and its competitors is the choice of transponder tags available. No longer are you forced to purchase over-priced tags from your competitors.
The ULTRA breaks the restrictive demands of all the other UHF systems on the market. It will allow you as the timer, race director, or business owner to be free to decide on what style of tag you wish to use and how much you want to spend.
With an ULTRA system you decide.
With tags costing as little as 10 cents and multiplied by many thousands each event you time, it doesn’t take Einstein to work out it’s the tags that you spend the real money on not the initial unit cost.
By taking advantage of the competitive tag market massive sums of money can be saved.
This will result in you being more competitive in your tenders to win new business or just increase your profit margins over your timing competitors who are not using ULTRA.

More information on Disposable tags
These transponders work between 865 to 950MHz and can be read on any EPC Generation 2 Class 1 reader. The RFID protocol has been adopted industry wide for both transponders and readers.
What makes this transponder special for race timing purposes is their very low cost yet high performance. Hence this is the technology of choice for large running and cycling events where the transponders are disposable and effectively given to the athlete for one time use.
Unlike our competitors, RFID Race Timing Systems does not sell a proprietary or ‘locked’ transponder that must be purchased at an inflated price. All our systems read off-the-shelf Gen 2 tags that can be bought for as little as 10 cents each in high volumes.
These are the exact same brand and type of tags that our competitors sell for over $1 each.
Our two favoured brands are UPM Raflatac for Europe and Alien for USA.
Flexibility is the key with transponders and the new Ultra System. You can make up your own tags with the required foam spacer, or purchase completely encoded, printed and foam backed tags from several vendors at prices still cheaper than our competitors. All our recommended tags can be encoded and printed with RFID printers like the Zebra RZ600.
