-------------------------------------------------------
1. Wireless fencing (epee, foil, sabre) Status of the wireless systems: At the 2005 FIE General Assembly, which was held in Linz before the Junior World Championships (22 March 2005) Mr. Frédéric MARCIANO, in liaison with the SEMI, made a demonstration of his wireless system at epee (with conductive jacket, gloves and breeches) and half transparent mask (this mask is transparent from the mouth and up, and is more appropriate at foil). In this system, the registering of the hit is reversed (the light is lit on the mask of the hit person). This demonstration interested many representatives of the nations present.
At the Assembly, the representatives of the STM Company, Messrs. Andrey MAKARUCHENKO and Yuri LERER, the designers of the wireless system at Sabre used in Grand Prix, World Championships and Olympic Games – have accepted the FIE challenge to produce a wireless system at foil. On Saturday 28 May 2005, at the Sabre Grand Prix of Senegal, this Company made a demonstration of this system, with Senegalese Sabre fencers on the piste, before the final, which was a great success. The system is ready to be implemented.
STM is currently selling the conductive T-Shirt necessary for their wireless system at Sabre at approximately EUR 32, while Allstar is selling it at EUR 38. This T-Shirt is the same as the one used for the wireless system at foil.
There are currently three manufacturers leading the market in respect of hit recording apparatus without winding system, which are called wireless : Marciano, Zivkovic and STM.
The leader companies mentioned above should not have the monopole of wireless apparatus. The other companies, which are also interested in this system, should also propose their ideas.
Thanks to close and regular contacts of the SEMI with these manufacturers, their projects can be followed. We are thinking of organising a public exhibition for the manufacturers during the 2005 Congress in Qatar
