GPS is broken in cities. Lappo replaces it with centimeter-level precision.

Market Validation: Smart Runways vs Lappo

China has already validated the demand for connected sports infrastructure. Lappo transforms this model into a scalable, cost-efficient, and privacy-first solution.

The Infrastructure Shift in Sports

Around the world, billions are being invested in “Smart Runways” and connected sports infrastructures — using cameras, IoT systems, and centralized platforms to track and analyze performance.

These systems prove one thing: the demand for high-fidelity, real-time sports data is real and rapidly growing.

But they also share critical limitations:

• High installation and maintenance costs
• Complex infrastructure requirements
• Privacy concerns due to camera-based tracking
• Limited scalability across cities and environments

Introducing Lappo

Lappo is a deep-tech venture that has developed and patented a passive magnetic infrastructure (UK Granted Patent: GB2631117 – PCT Published: WO2024261451A1 - European published: EP4732264).

Our mission is to solve one of the most critical unsolved problems in outdoor sports:

The GPS Urban Gap — the ±10 meter positioning drift in real-world environments.

The system combines a network of passive magnetic markers embedded in the ground with a proprietary wearable Smart Sensor, positioned on the athlete’s shoe.

This architecture enables centimeter-level timing and performance validation — without cameras, without active infrastructure, and without reliance on unreliable GPS signals.

A New Category of Sports Infrastructure

Unlike camera-based systems or GPS-dependent solutions, Lappo creates a new category:

Physical infrastructure + wearable intelligence

The result is a scalable, privacy-first, and ultra-precise system designed for real-world performance validation at global scale.

Why This Matters

• Market Validation: While Asia is investing heavily in camera-based Smart Runways, Lappo represents a scalable, privacy-first Western alternative.
• 90% Cost Reduction: Deploy a “Smart Arena” at a fraction of the cost, with zero power and near-zero maintenance.
• The Physical Oracle: Lappo creates a new infrastructure layer for high-fidelity sports data — enabling precise timing, fair competition, and real-world performance validation.
• RFID Killer: A next-generation alternative for race organizers, eliminating the need for bulky hardware and manual systems.
