Zebra Technologies Corporation will hold a press conference on Wednesday, Jan. 29 from 3:30 to 4 p.m. ET to showcase key data from the 2019-20 NFL season and set the stage for how the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers match up on Feb. 2.
As the Official On-Field Player-Tracking Provider for the NFL, Zebra will be represented by John Pollard, VP of Business Development for Zebra Sports, who will take attendees inside the best-in-class player and ball tracking technology behind the NFL’s Next Gen Stats.
Matt Swensson, VP of Emerging Products and Technology for the NFL, will also speak about how the data benefits the league, teams, broadcasters and fans.
This past summer, Zebra inked a renewal of its partnership with the NFL, which extended Zebra’s role through the 2021 season.
To enable the data collection, Zebra attaches RFID tags in player equipment and footballs, transmitting real-time location data to receivers positioned around the stadium that gather metrics such as player speed, distance traveled, orientation and acceleration.
This year Zebra tagged 2,880 players plus all the officials during the pre-season, with nearly 1,700 players tagged during the regular season.
