The GLF solution addresses specific market needs:
- Live: The ability to transmit GLF data in real time during football matches, including official matches, a challenging aspect for telcos, especially in high-level football stadiums.
- Accurate and reliable data: GLF data will be processed to improve positioning accuracy (through GNSS-IMU data fusion) and perform data quality control.
- No infrastructure: Football players simply wear the GLF device, without the need for receiving stations (UWB and cameras).
- Metrics: A simple and immediate way to check the team’s tactical and physical performance every 5 minutes during the match.
- Energy efficiency: Use of low-power rechargeable modules via a case that serves as a charging station and transport for easier logistics.
Integrated technologies include high-precision GNSS satellite positioning systems with RTK corrections, IMU inertial sensors for motion detection, and narrowband IoT connectivity for real-time transmission of performance data.
The sports industry has always strived to stay abreast of the latest technologies that meet increasingly sophisticated needs. In particular, the global football market is leveraging its ability to invest in highly technological tools that can help improve its positioning. This led Spaceexe to design the GLF solution and meet the needs of the football market, creating a tool that can be used by athletic trainers and others.
