7. Vector Anchor & Vector Dock
VECTOR ANCHOR
Anchor Specification:
Wi-Fi (dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
UWB Antenna (3774.0 MHz to 4243.2 MHz)
The water-resistant wireless receiver design is built to pick up devices for
professional sports player data capture in a ~250meter range by using ultra-
wide band communication (4.0 GHz). The ultra-wide bandwidth provides
more robust communication between devices and receiver(s) and improves
immunity to third party environmental interference such as, Wi-Fi. The
receiver is also integrated into a Wi-Fi network that wirelessly links the
OpenField console and mobile applications within a 50m range. This
improves accessibility as a local Catapult Wi-Fi enables users to be more mobile around the
pitch and to share live data more easily with coaches and players. Users have the option to
add multiple anchors to the same system to improve live data capture capabilities. The GNSS
antenna contained within the anchor serves the purpose of GNSS augmentation.
The Vector Anchor may be operated by mounting it on a tripod, which improves portability
and allows it to be placed in the most optimal position. It can also be temporarily mounted
on a pole to improve coverage.
The Vector Anchor antenna must be connected by a professional installer and only the
antennas that were granted approval for this device may be used.
