Wireless sprint timing that
works all the time.
The combine floor is packed with people on phones. The indoor stadium has its own Wi-Fi network. The university campus has 50 access points fighting for the same spectrum. Standard Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz timing systems drop out, miss splits, and send you back to the tape measure.
SwiftAir is G4's proprietary radio technology — engineered specifically for athletic timing in high-interference environments. It builds on three generations of Swift timing reliability and extends it to the venues where that reliability is hardest to maintain.

Laser timing gates: common questions
What are laser timing gates?
Laser timing gates are electronic timing devices that use an infrared or laser beam stretched between two posts to record precise split times. When an athlete breaks the beam, the system captures the time to the millisecond. They are used for sprint testing, agility drills, and combine assessments where manual stopwatch timing is not accurate enough.
What is a dual beam timing gate?
A dual beam timing gate uses two beams per gate instead of a single beam. The gate only triggers when both beams are broken simultaneously, which means it responds to the athlete's torso passing through rather than a swinging arm or loose clothing. This AND function eliminates false triggers and produces cleaner, more repeatable sprint times.
Why choose dual beam over single beam timing gates?
Single beam gates trigger on anything that breaks the beam, including arm swing, loose clothing, and equipment. Dual beam gates require both beams to be broken at the same time, so the gate responds to the athlete's body mass moving through the plane, not a limb. For 10 m, 40 yard, and 100 m sprint testing where a single false trigger invalidates a trial, dual beam accuracy matters. The G4d uses this AND function on every gate in the system.
How do you accurately time a 40 yard dash?
Accurate 40 yard dash timing requires laser timing gates at the start and finish lines, with the athlete triggering the start gate rather than a hand-pressed timer. The gate at 40 yards (36.6 m) records the split to the millisecond. Dual beam gates are preferred for combine-style testing because they eliminate the false triggers that single beam systems produce when an athlete's arm crosses the start beam before their body.
What is the difference between a speed gate and a timing gate?
Speed gates and timing gates refer to the same category of equipment. The terms are used interchangeably across sport science and strength and conditioning. Both describe a pair of posts with a beam between them that records a split time when an athlete passes through. Some brands use "speed gate" in their product naming; Swift uses "timing gate". The technology and function are the same.
Can timing gates be used for agility drills like the L drill and 3 cone drill?
Yes. G4 laser timing gates can be configured for any linear sprint or multi-directional agility drill: the L drill, 3 cone drill, pro agility shuttle, and 505 agility test. The gates record split times at each gate position, giving coaches a breakdown of acceleration, change-of-direction speed, and total time. The SwiftAir radio system maintains connection across the full layout without needing line-of-sight between gates.
