About this item

Updated Sep 17, 2026

RFID solution designed specifically for cycling and multi-sport events / races which typically use side antennas or as a split timing point for fun runs with antenna mats. With 4 antenna ports the Ultra4 system can be coupled with antenna mats or side antennas and is capable of reading any unlocked Gen2 UHF tag on the market. https://rfidtiming.com/product-details/ultra/ Original price: 32000rmb 13000rmb (open to discussion/negociation) only used once includes: - Main unit:Ultra UHF491 https://rfidtiming.com/product-details/ultra/ - 4 RFID antennas: AN12LFCC https://rfidtiming.com/product/side-antenna/ - 250 chips:HuTag XC2 UHF (Impinj Monza R6P) https://www.atlasrfidstore.com/hutag-xc2-uhf-rfid-tag/ (6 chips have external shell damaged) - Accessories: - 4 wires for RFID antenna to main ubit(2x4m,2x7m) - Ethernet cable, power cable, wifi antenna - 4 plastic floor protection for cables - Softwares for running RFID system and exporting data (Windows) The Value of the RFID Ultra System 1. Company Status & Global Product Support ● Active Industry Leader: Founded in Australia and registered since 2003, RFID Race Timing Systems is a premier global brand in sports timing. They are fully active, continuously manufacturing top-tier timing ecosystems (including their standard UHF and new active transponder systems). ● Continued Software & Firmware Support: The manufacturer fully maintains and supports their hardware lines. The core software repository—including RFIDServer v5.8.0—is actively hosted, updated, and accessible directly from their official servers alongside complete technical documentation. 2. Tier-1 Trust and Field-Proven Reliability ● Military-Grade Workhorse: The Ultra UHF491 is regarded in the professional timing community as an absolute tank. It is engineered for harsh, all-weather outdoor environments—trusted globally to time everything from massive city marathons (30,000+ runners) to brutal multi-day mountain bike enduros in the Australian desert. ● Zero-Failure Redundancy: Built with premium industrial components, a high-capacity internal lithium-ion battery backup, and dual connectivity (WiFi + Ethernet), this system provides layers of hardware security that cheap, modern consumer-grade readers simply cannot match. 3. The Ultimate Advantage: Why the Ultra UHF491 is Highly Competitive While tech companies love forcing buyers onto a subscription model, the Ultra UHF491 stands out because it belongs to the golden era of "unlocked, open hardware." ● The Unlocked "Open-Tag" Advantage (Your Biggest Money Saver): Modern timing giants (like MYLAPS or ChronoTrack) lock you into proprietary, branded chips that cost $1 to $5+ per runner, or force you into yearly per-chip subscription models. The Ultra is 100% unlocked. It reads any standard, generic UHF Gen2 EPC global tag. ○ What this means for your business: You can buy generic timing tags on Taobao or Alibaba for pennies (0.5 to 1 RMB per chip), stick them to a race bib, and time an entire event. Your ongoing operational costs drop to near zero, giving you a massive competitive edge and a much faster return on investment. ● Seamless Compatibility with Modern Software: Don't let the utility-style look of RFIDServer fool you. In professional timing, the hardware's server software is just a protocol bridge. Its only job is to capture raw chip reads and stream them via standard IP protocol (TCP/IP). This means the Ultra box plugs natively into today’s most advanced, beautiful, and widely used 3-party scoring software ecosystems like Wiclax, Race Day Scoring, or ARTEMIS. You get 12-year-old hardware reliability paired with modern, live-to-web scoring interfaces. Keywords: run triathlon marathon road bike rfid timing system chip wireless
