Riedel Communications has announced that the company has recently made a major acquisition. Inmotio is an Amsterdam-based company founded in 2006. They are a provider of data-driven sports performance analysis solutions. Riedel has acquired the patented Local Position Measurement (LPM) technology from this Dutch company.

The LPM platform technology is based on a real-time network connected to several base stations. Athletes wear a special vest with a transponder that can be tracked in 2D and 3D space. It has an operating range of up to 1,000 meters and the capacity to track up to 1,000 users.

“Inmotio is one of the true trailblazers of sports tracking, and over the years, their proprietary LPM platform has become the gold standard in sports performance measurement, far surpassing ultra-wideband trackers in terms of capabilities, user capacity, and accuracy,” said Lutz Rathmann, CEO Managed Technology, Riedel Communications. “Now that their proven technologies meet Riedel’s innovative strength, global sales, and marketing power, the LPM solution is sure to reach a wider audience and find application in some of the world’s most high-profile projects.”

“This cutting-edge technology opens up a wide range of applications to enhance the portfolio of the entire Riedel Group — even reaching far beyond the world of sports,” assures Thomas Riedel, CEO and Founder, Riedel Group.
