All you have desired a timing system to be like.
And even more. →
First Class
Usability
Ubidium can be operated in any weather condition. Display and buttons are always visible and accessible. The control unit does not need to be protected by a lid.
Solid & Lightweight
Design
The completely new form factor guarantees maximum flexibility. With two batteries inserted, it weighs only ~ 4.1 kg. The connections on the front and back allow easy operation.
Brilliant
Power Management
Insert one or two batteries and hot swap them while switched on. In active timing mode, you can reach over 30 hours of runtime! Ubidium can also be powered via USB-C, POE, DC or even solar panel.
Directly plug your active timing loop into Ubidium. No more extensions required.
Build timing lines with widths of up to 30 meters* and with 100% loop power.
Ubidium fits seamlessly into the existing RACE RESULT active system architecture, supporting functionalities like stored passings and repeat mode.
* depending on regulatory region
The new foldable ground antenna connects with a single plug - and you’re ready to go. Each antenna element now contains its own UHF element, enabling antenna lengths of 23 m with one single system and 6 hours battery runtime.

Ubidium has GPS and 4G on-board. 3 Ethernet ports provide extended networking capabilities, internal switching to connect multiple devices. You can even power them over POE using the internal Ubidium battery. Internal and external SIMs allow for data transmission backup and, if necessary, remote support access to the device. Ubidium can connect directly to your PC via USB-C. It also offers Wi-Fi, USB-A, DC Power In, trigger input/output and the connection of an external 4G antenna.
Ubidium ensures optimal performance in all weather conditions. A heating element keeps the device above freezing point, ensuring optimal battery performance. An integrated fan will cool the system down if necessary and blows moisture out if the integrated humidity sensor indicates a condensing risk.
The front lid covers the connectors and effectively protects the system from rain and splashing water.
We have paid particular attention to the readability and usability of the display. The 6.2’ screen in combination with the always visible LEDs and large buttons, makes it easy to maintain an overview of all relevant timing data and functions. The display is even readable in extreme temperatures.
With all ports accessible from the front, multiple systems can be stacked and charged at the same time. The LCD on the battery shows the charging level at any time.

The UHF floor mat is a standalone extension to Ubidium. It is powered by the system and sends detection data directly into the system. Each mat segment holds its own UHF antenna and reader.
The mat connects directly to Ubidium with a single connector, no additional device required. For reliability, two independent, robust cables lead to the first antenna segment and form two separate strings throughout the whole mat.
The new design gives the mat and even better profile on the road and flatter edges allow for a more comfortable ride. At 77 cm, the segments are longer than before, in the standard 4.6 meter configuration (6 segments), the mat weight is just 21 kg, 20% less than our previous ground antenna.
As you are not limited by the 8 ports of conventional UHF readers you can now create up to 23 m long timing mats. Each mat segment contains its own integrated reader and antenna, specifically designed by RACE RESULT for sports timing purposes. It requires less power than standard UHF readers, therefore increasing system battery life. It also allows synchronized reading with multiple elements at the same time, significantly increasing read rates and timing precision.
Every reader element is connected to the reader 2 mats earlier, creating two separate data lines in an A-B-A-B scheme. A defective element does not block later segments from functioning, and even if one complete strand should fail, timing remains functional.
You only need to open one antenna segment on either side of the joint to split the mat. The cables for each segment can stay inside the mat at any time using the inner storage channel. The mat can be extended/shortened by pairs of two segments, resulting in widths between 1.5 m (2 segments) and 23 m (30 segments).
