KINEXON Sports stands as a global pioneer in delivering cutting-edge tracking and analysis technology tailored for professional sports.
We track movement and position data of players and official match balls, transform it into valuable analyses and insights, and assist professional teams and leagues in using data for pioneering innovative strategies.
ABOUT THE TEAM
We are a cross-functional team developing a Local Positioning System (LPS) based on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to enable our player and ball tracking solution. To capture and provide precise position and motion data in the sports environment, we are developing a full stack of software components, including firmware, backend, and frontend applications.
