Čtečky IBEX ONE a IBEX FREE

Two device concepts for different race-day scenarios: a fully equipped fixed reader and an ultra-mobile field unit.

IBEX ONE

• Multi-antenna UHF Gen2 (RAIN RFID) readers for high reading speed
• 12 V DC power via adapter or battery, with more than 8 hours of battery operation
• Suitable for outdoor field use
• Standard SMA connectors for external antennas, with up to 4 external antennas
• Optional integrated internal antenna for easy participant chip assignment
• Inbuilt LTE connection for live data transfer
• Data backup and buffering if internet connectivity is lost
• MQTT data transfer

IBEX FREE (IBEX 3)

• Concept RFID reader built for full mobility
• Can work both offline and online
• Internet connection via the user's mobile phone hotspot
• Available in single antenna port or 4 antenna port versions
• Optional integrated antenna with limited reach of up to 50 cm
• Up to 3 hours on the internal battery at reduced power (~2 m reach)
• Additional power bank can extend runtime far beyond that
• Full RF power available with external power supply or high-output power bank via USB-C
• Below 1 kg weight and compact size make it ideal for measuring remote checkpoints
• Suitable for intermediate checkpoints with low chip density

* Battery runtime measured at 150 mW RF output power, 5.3 dBi / 8.3 dBic antenna gain (ETSI), ~2 tags/s read throughput.

Race Architecture

• IBEX ONE at the finish line for high-throughput, reliable reading
• Multiple IBEX FREE devices along the course for intermediate checkpoints
• IBEX ONE can also be used at any checkpoint along the course when available
• Live results are available to organizers via the IBEXORA web app, while participants can follow the race via a public link — shareable on the race website or social media

HuTag tags

HuTag is a family of reusable UHF RFID tags made for sports timing. The tags are rugged and water-resistant, built to withstand mud, sand and repeated use, and are attached to the participant with a strap. We recommend HuTag for use with IBEX systems.

Our system is compatible with any UHF Gen2 (RAIN RFID) tag, but we have tested it with HuTag reusable tags.

HuTags can also be purchased through IBEXORA — contact us for an offer.

About us

IBEXORA is a small founder-led engineering company focused on reliable RFID systems for real outdoor events.

I grew up close to the Alps (Tirol) — that background shaped how I build devices: simple setup, robustness, and honest testing.

The main product is race timekeeping, but I’m open to custom solutions. If you have a specific scenario, I can prototype, test, and tailor the system for it.

— Vojtěch Krčmarský

What you can expect

• Direct communication (no middle layers)
• Fast iterations and practical improvements
• Support during setup, testing, and race day
• Transparent approach and fair collaboration
