Product Highlights:
GoRout® Scout, On-Field Practice Application: Designed for maximum practice efficiency, coaches can design and manage practice scripts, playcards, and schedules – all from one centralized interface. With GoRout Scout, coaches can…
- Create custom playcards and scripts ahead of each practice session.
- Organize drills, assign plays to specific periods, and adjust practice flow on the fly.
- Start, stop, or pause practices remotely, while tracking rep counts in real-time.
Wearable Devices: Players wear compact, lightweight GoRout devices on their waist, designed to display plays sent from the coach’s tablet via the GoRout app. These devices are critical for speeding up communication during practice by eliminating huddles between plays. Here’s how it works:
- Real-time Play Delivery: Coaches input or select plays on their tablet, sending the information instantly to players’ devices, which then display in real-time, allowing players to immediately get into position.
- Instant Feedback: By delivering play information on the spot, teams are able to run more reps, which translates to more effective practices and better preparation.
- Custom On-Field Remote: Coaches can also use a custom-built remote to easily switch plays, adjust formations, or change practice periods. The remote syncs seamlessly with the Scout platform and the players’ devices, ensuring a continuous flow of practice.
The Challenge
GoRout’s goal was to make practices three times more efficient, but they needed reliable and secure connectivity to power their technology. Wi-Fi wasn’t an option, as it lacked the mobility and reliability required for on-field use. The system had to work seamlessly, offering fast and consistent communication between coaches and players while maintaining the flexibility and speed needed in a high-paced practice environment.
The Solution
Seamless Integration and Connectivity via KORE’s Super SIM®: GoRout turned to KORE’s Super SIM®, a pivotal component of KORE’s Connectivity as a Service (CaaS) suite, to meet their connectivity needs. With the help of KORE, coaches can now use GoRout® Scout to send plays directly to players with real-time precision, keeping practices running smoothly and efficiently.
The cornerstone of GoRout’s efficiency is its ability to function without Wi-Fi or complex network setups. KORE Super SIM ensures that all devices remain connected through cellular networks, ensuring…
- Reliable, No-Setup Connectivity: Coaches don’t need to worry about losing connectivity on the field. Super SIM works out of the box, requiring no additional setup or infrastructure, making it a plug-and-play solution.
- Global Reach: With multi-network support, Super SIM allows GoRout’s system to operate anywhere, even in remote areas.
- Data Security and Reliability: The cellular-based network means that GoRout’s communication platform remains secure and protected, ensuring that every play sent to the field is delivered quickly and without interruption.
