Streamline athlete tracking and eliminate manual check-ins with the ArenaGear Wristband Reader. Designed as a hands-free, tripod-mounted scanner placed right at the start gate, athletes simply tap their wristband to identify themselves to the ArenaGear Teams App before every run. Every reader includes 100 free disposable wristbands so you can get up and running right out of the box.

You can now use an iPad to seamlessly manage the entire test station. Since iPads don't have built-in hardware to scan RFID/NFC wristbands directly, connecting the Wristband Reader via Bluetooth gives your iPad full scanning capability.

Coaches no longer need to spend time making manual scans with their phones—the Wristband Reader handles identification automatically while syncing seamlessly via Bluetooth. By linking each athlete's ID directly to their recorded timing results in real time, it accelerates event workflow, eliminates pen-and-paper tracking, and sends error-free data straight to your free ArenaGear cloud console for effortless reporting and performance analysis.
