Tourguide systems in sports

Modern technology in sports

Modern sports, in addition to athletes’ physical preparation, also require precise organization and effective communication – especially crucial during training. Efficient information exchange between student and coach and effective coordination of activities are key elements for future success. Therefore, tourguide systems, originally designed for tourism, have also found application
in sports. Our offer includes systems that enable wireless communication during horseback riding lessons, not only in the paddock, but also while cycling, on the slopes, and even in the pool – including underwater! We also have models specifically designed for football, volleyball, or basketball referees. In the following part of the article, we will discuss the benefits that modern technology brings to referees, coaches, athletes, and students.

Wireless communication for riders

In equestrianism, a tourguide system is very useful in the learning process. Our latest model, Okayo C200, designed specifically for riders, is equipped with a belt or vest clip and enables wireless communication over a distance of more than 100 meters in line of sight. This allows the instructor to provide real-time feedback to riders, even when they are at a significant distance, for example, during training in the paddock or in the field. This form of communication is convenient and helpful, as the student receiving instructions on posture, horse handling, or obstacle technique can apply them without interrupting exercises. Such a solution not only increases training effectiveness but also enhances safety, allowing for quick reactions in situations requiring immediate action.

The Okayo C200 system is used daily by Cavallo Riding School, which values its reliability and convenience.
Photos from training sessions using the system can be seen below.

We also offer a more advanced, two-way EQS-3 set based on the Axiwi model, which enables hands-free communication. Furthermore, it is worth noting that tourguide systems are also useful for those who engage in sports recreationally, not just competitively.

Tourguide systems in recreational and professional cycling

Cycling is a particularly popular and well-liked sport. It can be practiced both professionally and recreationally. Are you organizing cycling tours but have trouble coordinating the group? Or perhaps you ride with a few people, but differences in pace make free conversation difficult? A tourguide system will help you solve these problems and enjoy cycling anew. By choosing to purchase the two-way model mGuide GST G2 or G3, which, in addition to a long range, features a capacious battery (up to 8 hours of operation), you will be able to easily transmit information
about route changes, obstacles, or planned breaks without dismounting your bike. Riding will become more comfortable, and participants will be able to fully focus on enjoying
outdoor activities. Additionally, the model we indicated is easy to use, making it an ideal choice for families with children. The damage-resistant casing ensures the durability of the equipment even during intensive, professional rides in mountainous terrain. A properly selected wireless communication system will prove effective even
in difficult conditions…

Wireless communication in winter sports

Tourguide systems are an invaluable tool supporting learning and organizing competitions in winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. They not only allow for individual feedback during training but also:

• facilitate coordination among judges located on different sections of the route,
• enable the transmission of results from measurement points to target stations,
• allow for quick reaction and information exchange in emergency situations (e.g., sudden closure of a route section, need for medical assistance).

When choosing a system to serve as effective support, it is worth considering that conditions in winter sports are demanding (vast spaces, wind noise, large crowds on the slopes) and opting for a model that can handle them. The aforementioned mGuide GST G2 not only has a very long range (up to 2 km in open space) but also, when paired with an appropriate headset (e.g., GST-HLT), it handles
unwanted ambient noise well. Complete with a comfortable arm strap, this model is an excellent solution for winter sports enthusiasts. It is also worth paying attention to other disciplines whose specific nature requires different solutions. We have dedicated systems for them that perfectly meet these needs.

Tourguide for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts

Thanks to dynamic technological development, wireless communication systems are now being used in swimming pools and other bodies of water. mGuide AQUA, the first fully waterproof radio system from our own brand mGuide, is a system created specifically for effective swimming training and to assist in learning water sports (e.g., swimming, triathlon, aqua aerobics, basic windsurfing).
With user convenience in mind, the receiver takes the form of lightweight headphones (39g), utilizing bone conduction. This model offers very good sound quality both above and below the water surface. The transmitter and receiver are almost maintenance-free, making the mGuide AQUA system an ideal solution even for the youngest water sports enthusiasts.
