In 2004 Fusion Sport Co-Founder Dr. Markus Deutsch had a simple need – the ability to accurately time large groups of athletes and record results directly on a PC. The existing timing gates on the market were just not good enough – messy and time consuming wires, pen and paper results recording, and questionable accuracy and reliability.

SMARTSPEED quickly became the market leader, and has never looked back. Here are just a few reasons why SMARTSPEED is the first choice system for training and timing athletes.

Most timing systems are limited in their test logic. While they can do simple speed testing, when you start to try and run complex tests involving multiple breaks or shuttles, you will most likely run into problems. SMARTSPEED can run any timing test imaginable.

More importantly, SMARTSPEED is not just a testing system. SMARTSPEED was the first and still the only system with a wide range of reactive drills for testing agility, decision making and vision.

Accuracy and test-retest reliability is a critical cornerstone of sport science practice. SMARTSPEED has been independently proven to be the most reliable timing gate system on the market, hands down. The result is better feedback for your athletes, more accurate data for your coaches, and more sensitivity in your research results.

SMARTSPEED was the first system in the world to offer multiple lanes of wireless timing all on one PDA control unit. Now with up to 8 lanes of 24 gates in each lane, SMARTSPEED can control up to 192 gates, just on one PDA!

SMARTSPEED units have been built to survive the harsh demands of daily training. They are water resistant and can be used in the heaviest of rain, and impact resistant to take the heavy knocks from layers and balls. Try throwing a football at your current timing system and see how it holds up!

SMARTSPEED is the only system with SMARTSCAN RFID player identification, a critical breakthrough in time saving and improving coaches’ ability to use the technology in every session.

Connect a SMARTJUMP mat to any gate and you have a jump training system with real time plyometrics feedback.

SMARTSPEED is the only system integrated with the Dartfish video analysis system for completely automated video capture.
