KINEXON Upgrades GPS Player Tracking to Become First Automated and Wireless Solution
The GPS-based player tracking sytem for professional outdoor teams, KIENXON PERFORM GPS Pro, gets a groundbreaking update that will enable coaches to save precious time: It becomes fully wireless and automated.
Munich—It’s a breakthrough in usability and convenience for coaches. Until today, collecting player data has always required several manual steps. Too much position and movement data had to be collected, calculated into metrics, and made available for analysis.
The developers at KINEXON Sports have now succeeded in shortening this work process for coaches to the absolute minimum. Instead of manually connecting, reading out data, and downloading the evaluations, coaches only have to start and stop the session in the KINEXON Sports app. All other steps are automated and no longer require cables.
“We’ve streamlined a process that removes the need for manual tasks. By simply connecting sensors to our cloud through an existing Wi-Fi network, the data can be effortlessly pushed directly there,” explained René Prußner, Head of Product Marketing and Strategy at KINEXON Sports.”
Upgrade Enables Unique Advantage for Users
Athletic coaches of football and soccer teams will benefit from the upgrade during every training session. For them, the switch to a wireless, automated workflow means:
- 20 – 30 minutes saved due to the elimination of manual effort in operation
- Automatic access to all live performance metrics plus position data plus raw data
- Flexible management of all senses and data from anywhere
Coaches Save Time to Focus on Players
Connecting wearable devices before training, reading out the data after a session, uploading and processing it through the cloud — all these steps have been time-consuming and error-prone. Coaches are under constant time pressure and need reliable data everywhere and at all times.
For this reason, it’s a huge relief for coaches to be able to skip all manual steps in the data collection process.
The time that coaches gain as a result — especially after training — can be used directly for work and discussions with the players, opportunities which are too few in the tight schedule of the professional business anyway.
Data Quality is Best in FIFA Tests and Gets Event Better
Since its debut last year, KINEXON PERFORM GPS Pro has consistently delivered the best live data quality in the world, as demonstrated by its performance in FIFA EPTS tests. What sets it apart? Offering over 100 live metrics, it stands unrivaled in real-time data provision among GPS player tracking systems.
In addition to standard metrics such as speed, load, distance, etc., PERFORM GPS Pro also offers advanced metrics such as relative speed zone entries, detailed event analysis of accelerations, decelerations, repeated sprints, and more.
“Many coaches want to compare the metrics of individual repetitions live, for example. Many systems fail to do this. We also enable these granular analyses,” explains René Prußner. Thanks to the ‘Autopilot’ upgrade, the raw data is now also automatically uploaded to the cloud after each session.
“the systems don’t transit the raw data. Yet, it is precisely this data that opens the full spectrum of detailed data analysis to users,” adds Prußner.

The Only Option to Get Complete Flexibility and Mobility
Breaking free from the constraints of traditional systems, all data is securely stored in the AWS cloud, which boosts mobility and simplifies use in the field. From start to finish, coaches can now rely on a completely hands-free GPS tracking experience.
“There are countless moments for coaches in which a sensor needs to be switched off, another sensor needs to be added, or the heart rate needs to be subsequently connected via Bluetooth. More and more staff colleagues are also interested in training data. Controlling all of this remotely and wirelessly via the app makes our customers’ work much more mobile and more enjoyable.”
"Autopilot" Upgrade Is Available Now for Every Club
The automated and wireless workflow will be part of the GPS product KINEXON PERFORM GPS Pro by default and is available immediately. New customers will receive the system directly with the upgrade.
