Optojump Next

What Optojump Next does

Microgate Srl, operating commercially under the names Optojump Next, WittyPro, GykoPro, and BrainHQ, is a privately held Italian technology company headquartered in Bolzano with over 30 years of operating history. The company designs, manufactures, and sells precision measurement and training systems organized into four divisions: Professional Timing, Sports Training, Rehab, and Astronomy & Space. Its customer base spans professional sports clubs, federations, rehabilitation clinics, and timing-event organizers across multiple geographies.

The product portfolio is built on optical LED detection hardware and inertial measurement technology. OptoJump Next uses LED sensor bars to capture flight times, contact times, and reaction metrics with sub-millisecond precision. WittyPro is an integrated timing platform comprising Timer, Gate, and Start-End Module variants for sports events. GykoPro is an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based device for biomechanical assessment. BrainHQ extends the catalog into cognitive-training software. The company holds ISO 9001 quality-management and ISO 13485 medical-device certifications, the latter supporting its positioning in clinical rehab markets.

The business model combines direct hardware sales of measurement and timing equipment with software-platform offerings such as BrainHQ. Distribution appears to be direct-to-customer via the company's multilingual website alongside deployment at international sporting events, but no pricing tiers, customer counts, or revenue figures have been disclosed. The firm has not reported any external funding rounds, acquisitions, or disclosed leadership changes in the available data.

Core offering

Optojump Next is an optical detection bar system that measures motor performance parameters such as jumps, sprints, agility, stability, balance, and reaction time. It is sold by Microgate Srl alongside complementary products including WittyPro timing systems, GykoPro inertial measurement units, and the BrainHQ cognitive training platform, targeting sports training professionals, teams, and rehabilitation clinics.

Product overview

Microgate offers a comprehensive portfolio of sports training and motor assessment technologies under the Training division. The product suite includes OptoJump Next (optical detection bars for jump and movement analysis), WittyPro Timer (ergonomic stopwatch), WittyPro Gate (photocell timing system), GykoPro (inertial measurement system), WittyPro SEM (intelligent traffic lights for cognitive training), and BrainHQ (cognitive training platform). These solutions work together to enable monitoring of training load, movement analysis, and injury risk reduction, with applications spanning mobility, dynamics, stability, cognitive training, and strength assessment. The technologies are designed to be flexible, integrable, portable, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Broad incumbents

• Catapult Sports: Catapult is a leading provider of athlete monitoring hardware and software (GPS, inertial, and analytics) used by elite sports teams globally. Comparable to Microgate because both sell performance measurement hardware plus analytics into elite sports and rehabilitation workflows, though Catapult is broader and better capitalized.
• Hawk-Eye Innovations (Sony): Hawk-Eye, owned by Sony, provides high-precision optical tracking and officiating technology used across professional sports including tennis, cricket, football, and motor racing. Comparable to Microgate's WittyPro timing systems in delivering precision optical detection for elite sport timing and tracking applications.
• STATSports: STATSports provides GPS-based athlete tracking vests and analytics used by elite football, field sports, and performance staff worldwide. Comparable to Microgate in the sports performance measurement category, although its core technology is wearable GPS rather than optical or inertial fixed systems.

Direct peers

• Kinvent: Kinvent manufactures connected sensors (force, inertial, pressure) used by physiotherapists and sports trainers to quantify strength, balance, and range of motion. Direct peer to Microgate because both target the same rehab and sports performance buyers with portable objective measurement hardware and app-based dashboards.
• Qualisys: Qualisys produces marker-based and markerless motion capture cameras used in sports science, biomechanics research, and rehabilitation labs. Comparable to OptoJump Next because both are precision optical measurement vendors serving sports and clinical motion analysis customers.
• BTS Bioengineering: BTS Bioengineering specializes in optoelectronic and inertial motion capture systems for clinical gait analysis, sports biomechanics, and rehabilitation. Highly comparable to Microgate's OptoJump line in using optical and infrared sensing for objective movement measurement.
• VALD Performance: VALD Performance builds force plates, dynamometers, and motion-capture hardware for sports performance and rehabilitation assessment, sold globally to clinicians and sports organizations. Highly comparable to OptoJump Next as both deliver precise, instrumented measurement of athlete and patient movement for training and rehab.
• Noraxon USA: Noraxon makes EMG, inertial, and pressure-based measurement systems for biomechanics research, sports, and clinical rehab. Comparable to OptoJump Next because both sell multi-modal sensor hardware (optical/inertial/EMG) feeding into motion and performance analytics platforms.

Emerging players

• Zebris Medical GmbH: Zebris makes pressure measurement platforms and 3D motion analysis systems used in gait labs, orthopedics, and sports rehabilitation. Adjacent peer to Microgate because both serve rehabilitation and clinical movement assessment with sensor-based measurement platforms.
• Contemplas: Contemplas provides video-based biomechanical analysis software and templating tools for sports and clinical gait assessment. An emerging adjacent peer that competes for the same training and rehabilitation analysis budget as Microgate, though using camera/video rather than optical bars.
