SIAC
SPORTident introduces a timekeeping device whose main purpose is to save your time. SIAC’s contactless timing enables you to register time in a proximity range of up to 3 meters. Your speed can be up to 80km/h to let SIAC finish identification cycle in only 60 ms, which lets you enjoy the race without a need to stop.
SIAC adapts to your needs and preferences, as it has a wide range of applications (running, mountain biking, orienteering races etc.) Be sure that it won’t stop operating in the middle of the race, as SIAC is energy-efficient and will work for years with one battery. Whether you are an athlete or an event organizer — SIAC is an amazing solution because it does half of the job for you.

Compared to other SI-Cards, the pCard uses a different form factor and stores only up to 20 punches. Similar to other SI-Cards, the owner's name, club, email and so on can be stored in the card. In addition, the SPORTident pCard can be customised with a full colour imprint on both sides, e.g. with the logo of the organiser or of sponsors.
Stations
All of our stations are mechanically robust and waterproofed. While being ready to be used in the field without any setup there is the possibility to configure the station in advance by the user in an easy and comfortable process. The stations are designed to consume extremely low power. This enables very long times of operation before battery exchange or a recharging cycle are needed. Service requirements in general are low. Our stations are designed and produced to work for many, many years.
SPORTident stations are RFID readers working at low frequencies. With SPORTident stations you can even organise applications deep inside water. The RIFD field provided by our stations is also very homogenous. This supports an accurate time keeping.
BSF9
The SPORTident Station BSF9 has been completely redesigned inside and out. The BSF9 has a new, multifunctional housing and distinguishes itself with significantly improved environmental properties, with many options for theft protection (with SPORTident Security lock) as well as the further simplified handling. These features have been achieved without giving up the usual such as multifunctionality, water resistance, robustness and of course full compatibility with the existing SPORTident system.
The BSF9 can be configured in all known operating modes. It supports classic punching and AIR+ mode. Most visible change is the completely redesigned housing that fits easily on the mounting holder of the BS8 (small and plate) and features a control display that is always visible. The new housing is sealed with only for screws, without the need of any sealing material, which simplifies maintenance and further improves sustainability.

BS11-BS
Identification at check points in outdoor sport disciplines like MTB Enduro, trail running, orienteering and MTBO is slightly different than in foot orienteering. In general, passing speed is higher and control points are more line elements than filigree objects. The BS11-BS small is specially adapted for these applications by enabling identification over the air. The station is part of SPORTident AIR+ system configuration and can be configured with SPORTident Config+.
BS11-BL
The unique design of the BS11-BL large meets requirements for identification at checkpoints in sports like skiing and biking. The SPORTident ActiveCard (SIAC) can register the intermediate and finish times in a range up to 3 meters. The SPORTident Station BS11-BL large features a new body with an increased RFID output. The station can be controlled and also be charged by USB interface.
In Beacon mode, the data record about the passed control stations will be saved in more than one SIAC at the same time. The number of SIACs can be registered simultaneous is unlimited. The BS11-BL large can be configured with the software SI-Config+.
BS11-LA
The BS11-Loop is developed for width areas, where the 3 meters range of a BS11-BL are not enough. The station comes with a ground antenna of length 6, 9 or 12 metres, which is plugged in the SI-Station. The SPORTident ActiveCard (SIAC) can register the start, intermediate and finish times in a range up to 12 meters depending on the length of the ground antenna. The station can be controlled and also be charged by USB interface.
The number of SIACs can be registered simultaneous is unlimited. The BS11-Loop can be configured with the software SI-Config+. The SI-Station only works in combination with the ground antenna.
BSF8
The SPORTident Station BSF8 is based on a newly developed hardware core. The BSF8 design offers a number of significant improvements with lower power consumption and new features compared with the older series of SPORTident Stations. It becomes more easier to configure since the BSF8 station has top/bottom display and is fully compatible with the already existing SPORTident system.
Additionally, the new BSF8 is also available with short range radio (SRR) which enables wireless transmission of SPORTident data records over distances of up to 8 metres. The radios are working in the licence-free 2.4 GHz radio-band and can be used worldwide. SRR creates a wireless data bridge to a receiver or repeater mounted some metres away by using SRR dongle. SRR dongle receives data records sent from BSF8-SRR and SIAC. The device features an USB interface for easy connection with PC, laptop or other standard communication equipment.
BSF8 SI-Master
SPORTident BSF8 SI-Master is an extended SPORTident Station. It works and can be configured like any other SPORTident Station. In addition, two new service modes are implemented: “TimeMaster” and “ExtendedMaster”. In operating mode “TimeMaster” the station transmits its clock time to any other SPORTident Station inductive coupled to the SI-Master. So a set of SPORTident Stations can be synchronised very quickly. Also in “ExtendedMaster” mode the SI-Master transmits its clock time to any other SPORTident Station. Additionally, the SI-Master clears the backup memory of the slaved station and transmits its own active time to any other unit.
BSM8-USB
The SPORTident Station BSM8-USB is based on the BSM7-USB hardware core. The station works and can be configured like other SPORTident Stations. For environmental reasons the station has no internal battery, the power will be provided from the USB port. The new design offers a number of significant improvements and new features compared with the older series of SPORTident Stations. The new BSM8-USB Station is compatible with the already existing SPORTident System and can be used mixed with older equipment.
