Chips and race numbers

The RaceMeter can detect the presence of various passive UHF RFID chips. Thanks to our own use and testing, we offer the following chips/race numbers:

	Triathlon chip Waterproof chip of our own manufacture with neoprene strap allowing it to be worn on the wrist or ankle. Suitable in combination with standing antennas and mat for triathlon and duathlon type races. Information about the chip is likely to be released in the future. That is, a 3D model of the chip box and a link to the RFID chip used inside. I think this will be the first open-source triathlon chip that anyone will be able to make themselves.	75 Kč
	Two chips (with the same EPC) per race number We recommend placing this pair of chips on the start number. In combination with a mat antenna, it is a suitable solution for running races.	12 Kč
	Disposable A5 race number with two chips (identical EPC) The material is a non-woven fabric that is tear and water resistant and allows easy printing in a laser printer. We can make these race numbers for you, or you can do it yourself.	~24 Kč
	Reusable number A5 on a bike with a chip It is a double-foiled race number with a chip. We recommend them together with standing antennas for measuring cycling races, or cycling sections of duathlons and triathlons.	~30 Kč

It is certainly possible to use other UHF RFID chips, but it is good to try it first. E.g. the combination of a triathlon chip with a mat antenna is not suitable.

We also have some experience with UHF RFID chips that are designed for mounting on a metal surface. In the case of cycling races (including MTBs), however, it rather recommends placing the chip in the race number in front of the handlebars.
