IGNITE Boost
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dedicated IGNITE app for use with IGNITE modules powered by the IGNITE Boost device. The IGNITE Boost app is to be used with IGNITE Firing Systems firing modules when paired with the Boost hardware by IGNITE Firing systems. By using the IGNITE Boost, your phone is communicating only to the IGNITE Boost hub and the Boost hub is communicating with modules. This increases range to over 180m+ or about 600ft+. and also increases timing accuracy with no variance compared to the Bluetooth communication of the standard IGNITE app. In short, the IGNITE boost dramatically improves range and timing accuracy of the system.
