On the morning of 8 January, the 7th China Marathon Expo opened in Xiamen. TMK returned with new event technology, products and services at its core, and again drew organizers, industry partners and runners to the stand.
The expo’s theme was shared innovation and a living ecosystem. Around exhibitions, races, meetings and industry, it set up a sports platform for policy, promotion, deals and international exchange.
The stand used TMK red and blue, the energy of the marathon and the calm of the equipment, split between event services and timing hardware.
A marathon wall showed years of events in pictures and booklets. TMK timing hardware and software ran on the large screen, covering precision, live data and AI recognition. An LED clock let runners stamp a personal-best photo, and many people stopped for it.
At this expo, TMK focused on two newly developed timing programs.
An open platform for sports events: marathons, road races, fitness tests and school sport.
Besides the software, the stand showed this TMK hardware.
/ TMK Platform Ⅲ pro Passive (more)
A touchscreen, graphical interface that is straightforward and flexible. One controller reads eight channels, for marathons, trail races and fitness tests.
It works with a UHF mat or an active low-frequency loop, for road races and fitness tests, and for cycling, skiing and motorcycles.
/ TMK Platform Ⅲ pro Active (more)
One controller covers eight metres on each side, with a high read rate and high precision, for cycling, skating and triathlon.
/ Foldable Ground Antenna (more)
A one-piece folding mat with the UHF antenna and a low-loss feed line inside. Sections join to the length the course needs, on different roads and at different events.
High-brightness LEDs. A switch sets the colour and the time, and several clocks stay in step. It charges internally or from external power, so a long event can keep running.
TMK will keep working with the industry, on a professional and shared basis, for a healthier and more durable marathon business.
