Both professionals and novices are able to use our Chip Timing and Lap Counting system with ease with accurate results in both time and counting laps. Orbiter is versatile in being able to be used for many situations ranging from Schools, Races, and Fitness testing. This is because our software is a tool that times any human powered event. Our detector hardware makes smart and autonomous decisions independent from live internet, ensuring that your recording of the race is safe from outside interference.
All Side Antennas are not the same, as Orbiter is the only company with phased detect antennas. These antennas produce more accurate “on the finish line” times and eliminate the need for multiplexing. Multiplexing means the full line of a mat is on only one mat segment at a time. A line of mats typically has 4 mat segments or more. Not only are mats difficult to set up with multiple mat segments and wires from multiple mats being linked up, but they have half the energy output than Orbiter. Orbiter has 24 volts DC power versus 12 volts DC for mats.
Most importantly to note, the portability and the light weight system of Orbiter render other heavy weight timers obsolete with no need to assemble since Orbiter comes all-in-one. This comes in addition to the durability of other timers, since typically the coppers inside is delicate and would fray with it being out of tune and in need to be replaced. This comes in contrast with Orbiter where not only is it more durable but with one example being that one our systems lasting for 10 years even when dropped often. Not only relying on Orbiter is cost-saving and stress free with the handle, it also doesn’t include different systems/ parts that would accompanies regular timers since Orbiter comes all-in-one with nothing needed to add on.
Timing is really about producing accurate results which Orbiter can provide in varieties of platforms that ranges from iPhone, displays, tablets, and laptop. This comes with the benefits of being able to be displayed in real time and/or downloaded later in logging mode.

Reference: Reference: “The Bristow 24 Hour Run uses the Orbiter Bollard reader to accurately and reliably record over 2000 laps our runners complete with no read errors. Both the runners and the timing officials appreciate the beep that tells them that their lap was recorded. The rental option means that we always have an up to date system with no maintenance needs, and we don’t need a secure storage area. The system shows up a week before race day when we review setup and operation with Orbiter by phone. The Orbiter folks are available throughout the race for questions. After the race, the system is returned, prepaid, in the same shipping box. No question – we’ll be back for our next race.” – Ed Wilson, Event Manager
