Times-7 Sport and Microgate are delighted to announce their distribution agreement to deliver complementary timing solutions.

Microgate designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of specialized communication solutions. "In today's ever increasing competitive global environments, the push toward highly-flexible complex systems has created the need for comprehensive solutions" explains Frederico Gori, Microgate Managing Director. "Each customer presents Microgate with unique demands and challenges and we are excited about partnering with Times-7 Sport".

"We recognized a synergy in our philosophy of offering a comprehensive solutions- focused service to our customers", agrees Michael Lynch, General Manager of Times-7 Sport. "Access to Microgate's family of products extends our portfolio in terms of being able to offer solutions to a broader range of sporting codes including skiing, snowboarding, swimming and training applications. It also compliments and extends the capabilities of the sports that we already service in that we can offer our existing clients complementary technologies,

"Innovative timing solutions and support to our customers is certainly the future" adds Michael Lynch, "and the planned integration with Microgate products is another step toward delivering on this promise."
