Or let us run it on the day

Everything runs from meshO Manager. You set the courses; we bring and run the rest.

  • Radio locations planned with your course planner, and placed with your setter
  • Up to 10 results screens, a kiosk and a commentary setup in the arena
  • Battery power, public Wi-Fi and Starlink, and a crew from set-up to pack-up

How it fits together

A punch at a control reaches the arena screens while the runner is still on the course.

Radio controls won’t flatten your SIAC

Many organisers limit radio controls to protect competitors’ SIAC batteries. We worked out what turning on “Send last record” really costs. It’s about 0.2% of a SIAC’s battery life where radios are listening, about 1% at worst, and nothing at all for the controls.
