Currently there is a big trend to watch different variables for racing horses. There is great interest to monitor their condition in the race. This monitoring leads to the optimization of the needs of race horses, which improves their final outputs. It is important to many countless indicators such as temperature, humidity, pressure, heart rate and many other to be monitored. It is therefore necessary to define a simple system for transferring the recorded data. This system must be reliable, flexible and especially efficient. Due to the need for fast data transfer this technology must be wireless. The basis therefore is to create a so-called “multiple- sensor network”. This network must allow for variability and allow mesh communication. The proposed network must then allow forwarding of messages, because each transmitter is also the receiver (repeater function). A survey was conducted on the current applicable technology. Eventually, the IQRF technology has been selected that exactly matches the specified criteria. The IQRF technology operates at a frequency of 868 MHz, which corresponds to the ISM868 band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). IQRF mesh allows communication and is suitable for distances of tens to hundreds of meters. Its dimensions are small (about 2 cm long, 1 cm wide and 0.25 cm high), allowing seamless integration. It has been found that it is necessary to place the track stationary points. However, it is not necessary to solve the remote transmitter that would send its information which is identified from these stationary points. Because it is mesh communication, each loop element communicates with each other and does not require other transmit interfaces.
