Sports and Games

The latest performance enhancer in sport and games is GPS. Sports men and women are using GPS enabled devices to track their pace, speed and distance across land, whilst urban gamers are using GPS handheld consoles to play games across our towns and cities.

GeoHelix™ GPS antennas use Sarantel's proven PowerHelix™ technology and offer significant benefits over patch antennas in handheld consoles and devices with GPS.

Achieving GPS accuracy has been a stumbling block to the uptake of urban gaming and its serious use as a performance enhancer in sports. High buildings can block GPS signals from satellites, creating positioning shadows, which can affect location accuracy.

Sarantel GPS antennas offer unparalleled performance in unstable environments such as urban canyons and heavily wooded areas because the antenna's circular polarisation pattern maximises GPS signals.

Handheld consoles and devices with a Sarantel antenna do not require a clear view of the sky for robust GPS reception because of the antenna's omni-directional capability. This eliminates the need for gamers and sports lovers to orient their GPS console or device in order to achieve reliable performance, enabling them to focus on their game.

Sarantel's GPS antennas can be embedded into handheld devices creating a more robust product for sports lovers and the growing community of gamers who prefer playing on the streets rather than on their sofas.
