Ubidium | RACE RESULT

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.

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.

Batteries

The batteries can be hot swapped during timing. The transparent battery cover makes it possible to read the charging status at any time. The batteries can be charged internally.

Protective flap

The protective flap will always fall down automatically, close with integrated magnets and push all cables into the broom. Thereby, all connector ports are protected from rain, mud and splashing water.

Connectivity options

Ubidium offers more connectivity options than any timing system on the market. This includes POE, USB-C, AC and DC, and a SIM slot. An additional SIM card is installed inside the system.

Ventilation grille

Moisture and heat are blown out of the system through the ventilation grille. This enables operation in extreme conditions and conserves the electronic components.

Bumpers

The bumpers made of durable rubber protect against impacts, ensure a stable stand and make the systems stackable. They can be removed; however we recommend leaving them on.

Broom

The broom ensures that no water gets to the connectors from the outside, even when all cables are connected.

Handle

The handle makes it easy to carry the system over long distances. With two batteries inserted, Ubidium weighs only 4.1 kg.

Display

The 6.2″ display features an adjustable backlight with customizable background color. Thanks to its high contrast, it remains legible even in the brightest sunlight. It is covered with an extremely robust glass.

Status LED

With the help of the clearly visible status LED, you can quickly see whether the system is running properly (green) or whether it requires operation (red).

Buttons

All buttons have a pleasant pressure point and are easy to use even with gloves. Like the entire surface, they are waterproof.

Active timing antenna

The active timing antenna is used to receive data from Active Transponders and Loop Boxes. Please put it upright during your event.

Active loop plug

Connect the banana plugs of your loop cable into the device and directly start timing with active transponders. No additional device needed!

Expansion port

Expansion port to plug in the Y-Bridge Cable of the Foldable Ground Antenna. The cable serves for both, power supply of the antenna and data transmission.

Port cover

A port cover made from durable rubber material protects the rear connectors from moisture, dust and impacts.

Ubidium is 2,990 EUR plus VAT / tax and shipping.

Timing an Event

Enhanced Active Timing

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

Revolutionary Ground Antenna Concept

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.

Unparalleled Connectivity

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.

Resistant in All Conditions

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.

Exceptional LCD Display

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.

Stacked Operation & Charging

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.

Ubidium Foldable Ground Antenna

The new foldable ground antenna delivers unprecedented flexibility and the highest detection rates.
Each element contains a specially developed RACE RESULT UHF reader. The mat connects directly to Ubidium. It can be adjusted in length as desired, up to 23 meters per system (30 segments)!

Plug and Go

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.

Improved Shaping, Less Weight

The new design gives the mat an 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 24 kg.

Up to 23 m Mat Length

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.

Interleaving Connection

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.

Easy Length Adaption

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).
