In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the real-time location systems in the sports (RTLS) market.
Market Overview
Real-time location systems (RTLS) are a solution made up of tools like tags or badges worn by people or objects that periodically transmit real-time position data to viewers or sensors for locating objects or people. To track the location of things, assets, or people in real-time monitoring, real-time location systems (RTLS) are chosen. By incorporating tags into the tracked item, this is accomplished. Fixed receivers or readers pick up the tags' signals to determine the location. The main RTLS uses in the sports business are player in-game tracking, player training tracking, and asset tracking.
Additionally, the audience or watchers communicate with the tag using radio waves and other wireless systems. Tag signals are gathered and analyzed by them. They subsequently transmit the signals to the application software tool, which analyses and correlates the data to deliver the precise location in real-time. Wireless technologies such as RFID, UWB or ultra-wideband, Bluetooth, and GPS seem to be the foundation of RTLS.
COVID-19 Impact:
Some factors that have sustained the real-time location systems (RTLS) in the sports market have prevented the business from seeing sharp decreases in 2020. The need for a speedy recovery from China, increased digitization to improve workflows and increase efficiency, worries about worker safety, and COVID-19 containment strategies, including social or physical seclusion and contact tracing, are some of the primary motivators. The real-time location systems in the sports (RTLS) market is already returning to their development path when looking ahead to 2021.
