Longines Presents Timekeeping Technology

Longines technology

Longines on Wednesday held a demonstration day at Hoppegarten Racecourse in Germany to present its range of timekeeping services. Those include the Longines Positioning System, which provides instant data on the exact position of horses during a race, their ranking, the distance between horses and their speed. The Longines Positioning System delivers accuracy down to five centimeters and up to 1000 measurements per second. Longines has also made available a lighter technology version using GPS satellites instead of LPS beacons called the Longines GNSS.

Longines also presented its second screen application during the demonstration day. This technology delivers to smart phones and tablets detailed statistics about horses in real-time, such as average speed or intermediate time.
