wideband pulses that are used to generate real-time location and movement data. IsoLynx tags are fixed to athletes, equipment, and other objects of interest and transmit UWB "pings" to reference nodes placed around the venue. Its small size and low power consumption make the IsoLynx tag an ideal UWB tracking apparatus for large venues and multiplayer sporting events. The IsoLynx tags also allow for remote activation, easy attachment/removal, convenient charging, and have an onboard LED indicator for real-time feedback of tag state.
