What competitors and organisers get
Results kiosk

- Live results by class
- Radio punches as they arrive
- Splits for every competitor
- Graphs comparing competitors, leg by leg
- Start times, and a search for any competitor
Commentary setup
A commentary position in a marquee, with a table and chairs:
- Four speakers and a mixing desk
- Wireless microphones
- The live commentary feed: radio punches and results, by class
- The commentary streamed as live audio
Live results
On the arena screens, on competitors’ phones over the arena Wi-Fi — no mobile coverage needed — and online for everyone who couldn’t be there, published as the race runs.
A local network
Wired and Wi-Fi networking for your event computers, the download desk and registration, with Starlink internet when you need it.

FAQ
Questions organisers ask
What does it cost?
Essentials starts at $200 per event, ex GST. Comprehensive and add-ons are quoted for each event.
We time with MeOS, SI Timing or OE. Can we still use you?
Yes. You keep timing in your software; we import your entries into meshO Manager and run the radios, screens and commentary from it alongside.
Do you need power from us?
No. Our battery stations power everything we bring.
How far ahead should we book?
Brackets ship three weeks before the event, so book well before then. The Australian Championships 2025 booked about nine months ahead.
