With the Swiss professional ice hockey club HC Ambrì-Piotta, another club relies on intelligent live tracking & performance analysis technology from KINEXON. The team led by head coach Luca Cereda joins SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers as one of the first in the National League to use small UWB KINEXON player sensors to analyze data on skating speed, time on ice, power, acceleration, miles traveled on ice and more in real time. It’s the same technology that is increasingly used in the US American NHL, NBA and NFL, as well as German professional leagues.

Live player tracking is now also used in women’s and youth football. German Bundesliga football club VfL Wolfsburg is investing in the latest real-time tracking technology from KINEXON. Beginning in the 2021/2022 season, all teams from women’s and men’s professional to the U14 junior team are equipped with the latest GNSS-based KINEXON PERFORM live tracking and analysis solution. 

KINEXON makes industrial connectivity and ultra-precise indoor-localization available for the mass market at a price point comparable to RFID and BLE solutions: With the X‑Tag, the company now offers the world’s most cost-efficient UWB-sensor for the industrial Internet of Things. 

The real-time localization market has recently been growing rapidly. More and more companies are now investing in Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology for their indoor localization needs. Which potential does the technology hold for businesses, and what does the future promise for UWB? We asked Stefan Biermeier, Senior Product Manager Industrial IoT at KINEXON. Stefan oversees product strategy for KINEXON’s Industry 4.0 portfolio and shares some of his insights on UWB. 

Leading workflow and contact tracing solutions integrate to provide a safe pathway to return to work amidst the COVID-19 pandemic

T‑Systems and its partner Kinexon have developed a warning technology for companies. This enables companies to detect infection chains at an early stage. The new offering is called ​“Enterprise Protection System (EPS)”.

Today, the 5^th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program announced that KINEXON SafeZone, the world’s most trusted solution for contact warning and contact tracing, has been selected as the winner of the 2021 ​“IoT Sensor Innovation of the Year” award. The awards are conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market.

Ambroise Fayolle, EIB Vice-President: ​“At the EIB, we strive to support companies that shape the future. KINEXON is such a company and given how they seized the opportunity to make use of their knowledge and expertise during the COVID-crisis, I am thrilled that we can bolster their creativity and vision with EIB financing.”

When it comes to strategic contact tracing, there is no way around a discussion on data protection. Three prejudices are particularly common. We clarify.
