What alfano brevets does

ALFANO SA (operating as ALFANO) is a Belgian motorsport technology company founded in 1998 that designs and manufactures timing, telemetry, tire-management, and data-analysis products primarily for karting and amateur-to-professional circuit racing. Its hardware portfolio centers on GPS-based data loggers (the flagship ALFANO 7 with 25 Hz multi-constellation GPS, and the LEGEND as the affordable modern successor to the original ALFANO PRO), wireless internal tire pressure and IR temperature sensors, the TJR 2 wireless pressure gauge, the TYRECONTROL 2 and TYRECONTROL AIR pressure-management systems, the KRONOS2 LED timing display, and the ADSGPS session recorder. The software layer includes ADA mobile apps for iOS and Android (claimed first-to-market for smartphone data analysis in this category) and ADA PRO for Windows, developed in co-engineering with Tony Kart Racing Team (OTK Kart Group Srl).

The core technology combines a patented magnetic-field timing heritage with modern 25 Hz GPS across four satellite constellations, proprietary wireless sensor protocols (2.5 Hz pressure/temperature, 10 Hz IR temperature), and a vertically integrated ecosystem that centralizes pressure, temperature, lap, and split-time data on the ALFANO 7 for downstream analysis in ADA PRO. Manufacturing is based at a production plant in Nivelles, Belgium, with a parallel engineering office in Serradifalco, Italy.

ALFANO monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales at price points ranging from €179 (KRONOS2) to €929 (ALFANO 7 P3 bundle), supplemented by ADA PRO software and accessory sales. Distribution is dual-track: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via a multilingual (9-language) webshop and a global authorized reseller network supported by a publicly published 2026 price list. The company serves two primary personas, professional racing teams and demanding amateur/track-day enthusiasts, with Tony Kart Racing Team named as a strategic co-development partner and reference customer.

Direct peers

• AiM Tech (AiM Sportsline): Italian motorsport data acquisition specialist, manufacturer of the MyChron lap timer family and the dominant telemetry brand in karting globally. Directly comparable to ALFANO because both sell GPS/data-logger hardware plus tire-monitoring sensors into the same kart and circuit-racing customer base.
• Race Logic: UK manufacturer of VBOX GPS data loggers and lap-timing products used in motorsport, automotive testing, and ADAS development. Directly comparable as a GPS-based lap-timing vendor with similar accuracy claims (high-frequency GNSS) and a multi-product ecosystem targeting racing teams and OEMs.
• MoTeC: Australian motorsport electronics specialist producing ECUs, data loggers, displays, and sensors for circuit racing and rallying. Directly comparable product-by-product: data loggers with sensor inputs, dash displays, and analysis software, targeting the same professional racing team customers as ALFANO.
• Stack Limited: UK manufacturer of motorsport instrumentation including gauges, displays, and data loggers for racing vehicles. Comparable to ALFANO in its focus on cockpit instrumentation, sensor integration, and timing/data-acquisition hardware for karting and circuit-racing teams.
• Traqmate: US-based GPS data-acquisition and lap-timing system designed primarily for karting and motorcycle track use. Closely comparable to ALFANO's GPS-based lap-timer positioning and similar enthusiast-to-professional pricing segmentation.
• UNIPRO Racing Displays: UK manufacturer of motorsport LED/LCD lap-timing displays and onboard instrumentation, comparable to ALFANO's KRONOS2 visual-lap-indicator product line in offering stand-alone timing displays to racing teams and track-day drivers.
• Pi Innovo: Engine-control and data-acquisition specialist serving motorsport and high-performance automotive OEMs. Comparable in its combined hardware (data loggers, ECUs) plus software stack serving professional racing teams, broadly overlapping ALFANO's telemetry-plus-analysis positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Garmin (Catalyst): Garmin Catalyst is a consumer-grade lap-timing and driving-performance device from the broader wearable/GPS giant. Comparable as a GNSS-based lap-timing product sold into the motorsport enthusiast segment, but lacks ALFANO's depth of tire-pressure, brake-disc, and asphalt-temperature sensor specialization for karting.
