Discover our third-generation live-action gaming engine: SATR3.
Our equipment has been independently tested:
With this patented technology, you get real-time hit feedback via light effects (through the red dot scope) and sound effects (through voice feedback).
When you shoot an opponent, the computer inside the laser tag gun issues a sound effect. This sound effect comes in 24 sound schemes. For example, hit feedback indicates what is happening in the game, so the players intuitively know what is happening in the scenario. The sound effects change depending on the gaming theme.
For a family friendly sound effect, you'll hear = “tagged.” When someone takes their opposition's last hit point, they'll hear “de-activated.” If they have no hit points left, they will hear “de-activate already.”
For an older audience, you can set it so that if a player shoots another who is above half health, they'll hear "hit." If their opposition is below half health, they'll hear "wound." And when someone takes their opposition's last hit point, they'll hear "kill." Or if they have no hit points, they will hear "already dead."
These SFX voice-overs can be customized.
This system gives the gamer instant gratification because they know immediately if they have gotten an opponent.
This is an emotionally engaging, authentic experience. Gamers who want to experience something like watching a heart-pounding blockbuster movie now have the opportunity to be an action hero or hero.
SATR offers you real-time hit feedback via light effects (through the red dot scope) and sound effects (through voice feedback). We have invested years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in its research and development to create a gamer-centered laser tag system.

The trademark application SATR was lodged in July 2006.
The patent application was originally filed in Australia in December 2006.
The International filing date, December 20, 2006, is deemed the filing date to determine the term of the US application.
There was a soft launch in Australia in November 2008.
This innovative product was officially launched in London in April 2009.
Our patented gaming guns use a lensed infrared light system. Our patent application was lodged with the US Patent Office on June 18, 2009.
Our new radio frequency hardware and our upgraded gun software. Currently, our research and development team is working on an amplitude-modulated transmitter and an associated regenerative receiver a radio band. This is ideal for short-range communication–up to 330ft (100m) in ideal conditions. If you can see them, you can shoot them!
Of course, gamers will not make it easy for you to tag them because this is high-tech hide-and-seek! Because our application has a high data rate, we use a PIC microcontroller and have had to upgrade our assembler software to achieve secure and reliable transmissions.
Now you KNOW you've got 'em. Our patented system lets you know when you've been hit and when you've got the other guy. In our previous generation of technology, SATR2, you had 13 languages you could hear SFX in, so the shooter's gaming gun got real-time hit feedback. The gamer's display is automatically updated in real time. Gamers can now get k/d ratios, accuracy percentages, and much more.
Here are the latest innovations:
SATR™ system, Battlefield Sports now supports indoor live gaming even better. SATR has a software-configured indoor mode that radically reduces infrared ricochets. The ability of SATR to perform global digital radio-controlled start, stop, pause, and resume means SATR gives the CO additional control to speed up throughput. In other words, you can reach more people through their gamers quickly. Higher throughput means higher profits for you.
Indoor gamers love SATR's key feature in any environment: real-time hit feedback via the shooter's gun with real-time on-gun statistics. Statistics include hits made, kills made, and accuracy percentage.
Any well-developed and successful game system is carefully balanced so that no one tactic or side has a significant advantage or disadvantage overall. Gamers can be very inventive in finding winning tactics or strategies. It has been only after a large number of playtests entertaining a variety of players with continuous refinement of the game rules and tools that true game balance has been achieved.
This is the live gaming phenomenon. All our laser tag guns are built tough, and they have been sold all over the world.
The SATR system has 375 different emulations, from SMGs to Zombie characters.
We also have quick-start resets, so setting up or switching between emulations is super quick and easy.
Unlike paintball guns, gel blasters, or airsoft guns, laser tag guns shoot high-powered infrared "ghost bullets." Thus, there is no actual projectile.
These "laser tag guns" work both indoors and outdoors.
Our goal is to do business with people who believe what we believe.
Think back over your life.
There are probably five memorable scenes you can remember. Our goal is to create an experience that is one of a handful of unforgettable times.
That's why we believe in "every game, every gamer". So no matter if you’re from a busy theme park, an established indoor laser tag arena, planning a mobile business, or simply a group of buddies wanting to set up your private club, we believe that EVERY person who comes and plays at one of our battlefields should have a bodacious time.

Battlefield Sports offers another live-action gaming innovation, the Quad-Core motherboard.
This four layered board cements Battlefield Sports' position as the technology leader in the peer-to-peer laser tag equipment category.
The SATR PCB combines industry-leading functionality with doubling layers on its motherboard. The additional layers in this PCB design are internal power planes, which provide improved reliability.
The base material is FR4. Its bow and twist are less than 0.7%. The R&D team also improved the RF routing on the main PCB and added more bias to the ground plane.
The Quad-Core is standard in all laser tag products.
The enabling technology was made possible through a technological breakthrough enabling an extended range of infrared units in all playing conditions in a playable manner. Extensive testing was carried out to achieve optimal levels of range and firepower for each gaming gun/sensor to provide the most satisfying gaming experience in a commercial environment.
The computer inside the gaming guns can identify friends or foes; in other words, you can turn on or off friendly fire. While most Battlefield Operators run events with two teams, e.g., Team Alpha versus Team Bravo, you can have up to seven teams within one battle.
You can play up to eight separate battle groups without crossfire. This is great for busy venues. Many busy paintball fields, for example, have a series of fields, but they are near one another.
With our digital laser tag system (SATR3), you can have up to 8 different battle groups (each with its team, see above) without crossfire.
The system has built-in “themes”.
Because there are so many options, themes group or silo the emulations into a category.
You can switch between the themes via a simple re-boot and re-set of the units.
The system can emulate 375 emulations.
Most emulations have authentic sound effects.
The system also has family-friendly laser tag phaser settings.
It is also used for fantasy game-play to emulate spells and shields.
A simple-to-use handheld device to run all your operations. No need for complicated computer systems. More, any unit can be configured to act as a Master Controller—built-in redundancy.
On boot-up, the laser tag gun will show on its display that the unit’s battery is charged.
Not only does the display show the gamer, in real-time, his/her number of hits (or tags) and the number of kills (or De-activations) and their accuracy %. It also shows the timer count-down so they know how long they have in this game. Battle Box: This unit reduces your staff overhead, as gamers can respawn (re-activate) at their base. Battle boxes can also be set to know which team it will respawn.
The box can also act as an Ammo Dump or a Repeater Station (to extend the battlefield terrain). No individual's score/ranking — team-focused on objectives + statistics in real-time
