Why Upgrade? #7 Reasons to Upgrade Your Technology

 

The Reasons

Deciding to upgrade your live-action gaming technology can be motivated by many reasons.

Investing in new technology is an opportunity for your business to grow and secure it for the future.

Sometimes, the decisions are easy and inexpensive.

Maybe you want a new battery or replace a button.

But other decisions take more investment.

Is it time to upgrade your arsenal to the latest patented technology with new motherboards?

Or is time to trade in your old equipment for brand-new gear?


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Here are seven reasons to upgrade your tech:

Reason #1 - You really, really want it
Reason #2 - Less Staff
Reason #3 - Easier to Use & Less Staff Training
Reason #4 - Old Hardware (SD card) is Obsolete
Reason #5 - New Games Give You a Competitive Advantage
Reason #6 - You Have Budget
Reason #7 - FOMO
upgrade your tech

 

Reason #1 - You really, really want it

OK, so you've been waiting on the sidelines for a while.

But you reallyreally, want the new tech which gives you the latest live-action gaming gear.

The SATR1/2 had 69 weapon emulations, SATR3 gives you more than 370.

SATR1/2 had 444 SFX, and the new SATR3 offers more than 18,000 sound effects.

This gives you an idea of how much more the new system offers.


Better still, the new tech means loads of new and thrilling missions to play.

Yep, it may be "gadget lust"! But so be it.

Go on, you know you deserve it!


 

Reason #2 - You'll Need Less Staff

The new options in the Master Controller mean you can run events with more players with less staff. For example, you can trigger pre-recorded phrases with the "Phrases" command. This will issue a voice-over on every player's gaming gun. (All the gaming guns are on the same Battle as that Controller. The system can cater for up to 8 separate battles running at once without crossfire.)

The phrases can be used for results, pre-game and post-game.

For example, the pre-game phrases like "All players follow me!" or "Come to the Briefing Area!". 

The post-game phrases such as "Drinks Break" or "Change Ends" or at the end of an event "Session End."

Then there are game result phrases like "Blue Team is Victorious!" 


More, if you are running the same game but asking the teams to switch ends, then the Controller can issue a command to automatically switch the boxes (Battle Boxes set to "Medic" or "Vault" or "Flag Box") from Team A to Team B.

And visa-versa.

No need to physically reposition the bases. Now it's done automatically.

We all need to get more done in less time.

Perhaps now more than ever before.

The new tech means you and your staff can be more productive. It's about getting more done using less time or fewer resources. The bottom line is this: If we can get more done in less time, we might get more time with our families, and maybe even get a full night's sleep.

With less staff rostered on at every event, this will mean more return on investment.


 

Reason #3 - It's Easier to Use & Means Less Staff Training

While the SATR3 is jam-packed and full of geeky complexity, there are also easy "lock-out" settings. You can literally "set & forget".

So, the system remembers the way it was set up the last time you turned it on.

You can JUST turn the key & start blasting.

This saves a heap of time on staff training.

Getting started is easy.

Battle Boxes can be set to "Recommend Options", the staff member simply selects on boot the device they need for the mission.

In some cases the team as well.

Once the Battle Box is ready to go, you are ready to run one of the Battlefield Sports' fantastic fully integrated missions. These missions include

The game-changing Supply Crates available in the Battlefield Royale theme can also be found on the "Recommend Options" menu. In other words, the menu structure has completely changed to make it easier to navigate.


Reason #4 - Your Old Hardware (SD card) is Obsolete

HERE'S THE KICKER

Class 2 SD Cards which housed the sound effects on the old SATR1 and SATR2 software are obsolete.

They simply are not made anymore!

So, eventually, as old motherboards fail, Operators will need to order replacements, which include new Class 10 SD cards.

The new motherboard has a fast processor so it means that the gameplay not only sounds better the sound effects are issued more seamlessly.

This means better immersive gaming.


Reason #5 - New Games Give You a Competitive Advantage

New games, new immersive experiences that surprise and delight your gamers. New scenarios like "Battle Royale" are on-trend and drive new bookings.


From SATR3.12+ you get the new game "Battle Royale". The new system, for example, automatically shrinks the size of the playing area (just like in the video game Fortnite) I've heard of some Operators running around the perimeter of their battlefield manually moving the medic boxes closer and closer in to create a similar effect. From SATR3.15h8+ you get the new game "Bullseye". A super easy version of "Domination". 


The current software version is SATR3.19.


With the new SATR3 software app "SATR-Go!" you can get real-time scoring. This is great for both outdoor and mobile laser tag operators.


It is worth it.


Competitiveness is about how strong your business is in comparison to others in your market. If others have similar tech in your markets, then you'll need to keep up and not be left behind.


 

Reason #6 - You Have Budget

Use it or lose it.

Many organizations have budgets that need to be used by the end of the year, or they might not get the same allocation next year.

Plus, some businesses have had access to government grants or support that needs to be invested in technology that will help their business thrive again.


Reason #7 - FOMO

Are your competitors getting new tech? 

Are you missing out?

Let's face it, you just really, really want this.

And you don't want to miss out. #FOMO
