Alpenhunde vs Microgate HiChrono

The Alpenhunde Timing® timing system is quick and easy to install. It is very intuitive to use and optimized for the specific requirements of ski racing. The newly developed radio technology enables a special remote network that works reliably even over long distances. Each timing station (start, intermediate, finish, and pocket device) opens a Wi-Fi hotspot that athletes and coaches can easily log into - either via the Alpenhunde smartphone app or any standard web browser. The system can be conveniently controlled and read out from any station via the special remote network! The app offers full control over the device, all functions, stored data, and recorded times. All times must be marked with the athletes' names before the start, during the race, or afterwards. The times recorded with the athletes' names are clearly displayed and, if desired, can be conveniently exported and shared immediately. At the same time, the results can be displayed, sorted, and evaluated as desired via a live data connection in Microsoft Excel®. This makes timekeeping a breeze!

HiChrono transforms the Microgate ecosystem with a cloud-based digital infrastructure for distributed timing. The app connects Microgate devices located across distant race points, removing the physical limitations of cables and the restricted range of radio signals. With HiChrono, you can transmit Time of Day (TOD), assign bib numbers to split times and monitor athlete status (started, finished, DNS/DNF) wherever you are, ensuring maximum operational flexibility even in the most demanding environments. Key Features Cloud-based communication system for synchronized data exchange between multiple race points. Instant connection of Microgate devices without cables or complex radio bridges. Precise Time of Day (TOD) transmission and instant bib assignment. Real-time athlete status management, including DNS (Did Not Start) and DNF (Did Not Finish). Flexible configurations for events of any size, from small tests to large distributed competitions.
