HyperPulse™ vs SPT (Sports Performance Tracking)
The team-level GPS we beat on field-day legality
SPT pioneered the GPS-vest school market. They sell to AFL clubs, soccer academies, and US college programs. Their flaw: GPS hardware can trigger rule-review problems in school competition. HyperPulse runs BLE-only — same metrics, designed for a cleaner rule-review path.
