01 — IR & Optics
The IR beam is the most important information channel in any laser tag system. Every hit, every tag, every game event travels through it. We tested what the industry was using — and where it wasn't good enough, we built our own.
A shot that doesn't register breaks immersion, creates disputes, and sends players home dissatisfied. We built our IR system specifically to eliminate this — through custom emitter design, proprietary receiver technology, and protocols that filter signal noise in any environment. The result is a system that works the same way on a bright outdoor field at noon and in a pitch-dark indoor arena at midnight.
In most laser tag systems, the IR beam spreads uncontrollably at short range — typically 3–5 meters. This means a shot aimed at one player can register on another standing nearby. Players argue, trust breaks down, and the game stops feeling fair. Our beam control technology eliminates unintended spread entirely. Every hit is the result of an intentional shot — no exceptions, no grey areas.
02 — Stand-by mode
Stand-by is not sleep mode. It's a low-power active state that keeps every device reachable — so the entire system can be powered on remotely, wirelessly, from up to 50 meters away, with a single click in the software.
With Stand-by mode, preparing a session doesn't involve walking the field, physically touching each device, or counting devices that are on. Open the IGM, click once — every marker, headset, vest, Bomb, and Multibox within range receives the wake-up signal and connects to the network. The session is ready before players have finished suiting up. Stand-by is also useful between back-to-back groups: instead of fully shutting the system down and restarting it, leave devices in Stand-by during the break — and wake them instantly when the next group is ready.
03 — WiFi
The Intager WiFi system is the backbone of real-time operations — connecting every device, delivering live game data, and keeping the entire fleet updated without a single cable.
Every marker, headset, vest, and accessory establishes its WiFi connection to the GameHub automatically on power-on. No manual pairing, no network configuration steps.
Scores, hits, health, ammo, game state — all flowing in real time between every device and the GameHub during play. Events trigger instantly across the field.
In open conditions, the GameHub WiFi reaches 200m+ — covering large outdoor fields without additional hardware. For even larger deployments, the system supports MESH expansion.
Select devices in the Intager Game Manager, click update. The entire fleet updates simultaneously — new games, new sounds, new firmware. No USB cables, no downtime.
If a device moves outside WiFi range mid-game, all game data saves onboard automatically. The moment it reconnects, it rejoins the network — no data lost, no game interrupted.
The GameHub creates its own WiFi network on-site. The entire system operates independently — no internet connection required at any point, anywhere.
Every connected device can be switched off simultaneously with a single click from the software. No chasing devices around a field at the end of a session.
For large outdoor fields that exceed a single GameHub's coverage, the Intager system supports MESH networking — multiple GameHub units linked together to extend WiFi coverage across the entire field. Every device stays connected, every game event stays in sync, regardless of field size. Deploy additional nodes where coverage is needed and the network expands seamlessly.
04 — NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is how the Intager system is administered in the field — fast, contactless, and tamper-proof. No buttons, no menus on the device, no opportunity for player interference.
05 — Bluetooth
Bluetooth handles the close-range connections that WiFi doesn't — headset pairing, vest sync, and player app connectivity.
Headsets and vests pair automatically to their assigned marker over Bluetooth — no manual steps, no separate pairing mode required.
06 — Software ecosystem
The Intager software layer connects operators, devices, and players into a single coherent system — each tool designed for a specific role, all working together seamlessly.
The main operator software — runs on any device connected to the GameHub. Manages games, player check-in, real-time stats, device inventory, and updates.
The Android app for in-field device management — every device is configured, powered on, and connected through this app via NFC. No cables, no on-device menus.
"New games, weapon types, sound effects, and firmware updates are all downloadable directly to the GameHub — and from there, distributed to every device simultaneously with one click."

07 — Hardware
Every physical element of the Intager system is designed to survive daily commercial use — not occasional consumer play. The specifications reflect years of real-world arena operation.
5,000 mAh battery delivers 16+ hours of active gameplay per charge on Raptor 3S — enough for a full day of intensive play from first game to last.
Bombs and Multiboxes run 12–20 hours on a single 5,000 mAh charge. Plus 5–10 days in Stand-by between sessions.
All Intager devices are built for outdoor field deployment — rain and dustproof construction that holds up to real gameplay conditions, not just lab testing.
Designed for 5–6 years of intensive daily use. In practice, many Intager markers have been running in live arenas for 10–12 years — well beyond specification.
When a player is tagged, their marker responds with vibration, sound, and a display signal — giving the hit receiver clear, immediate confirmation. No ambiguity about whether a tag registered.
Color screen shows live game stats — player name, rank, health, ammo, hit confirmations — keeping players informed and immersed throughout every game.
The Raptor 3S includes a wired red dot sight powered directly from the marker's battery — no separate batteries, no battery management. Improves aiming accuracy and creates an immediate premium feel for players.
Every device passes through a series of dedicated test benches before leaving the factory — communication protocols, network performance, IR optics calibration, and operational checks. Consistency across every unit, every time.
08 — Accessory signal range
Bombs and Multiboxes use their own proprietary signal technology — omnidirectional coverage with a configurable range that can reach across an entire outdoor field.
FAQ
IR & Optics
In most laser tag systems the IR beam widens uncontrollably at short range — typically within 3–5 meters. This causes a shot aimed at one player to register on a nearby teammate. It creates arguments, erodes trust, and makes close-quarters play feel broken. Our beam control technology eliminates this: every hit is the result of an intentional, directed shot.
Yes — outdoor performance in direct sunlight was a core design requirement. Our proprietary receiver technology filters ambient IR interference, registering only valid hit signals. The Raptor 3S delivers accurate hits at 200m+ in full sunshine. Most competing systems struggle to achieve reliable registration at a fraction of that distance outdoors.
Raptor 3S and Troodon 3S IR signals are compatible with Raptor 2 and Raptor 2S. Combined operation requires a SmartBox1, or simple Factory preset mode without a SmartBox. Full feature compatibility applies only between current-generation devices.
When a player is hit, their marker triggers vibration, a sound effect, and a display update — all simultaneously. The player who was tagged gets immediate, unambiguous confirmation. This matters because unclear hit feedback is one of the main causes of disputes and player frustration in laser tag.
Stand-by
Stand-by is a low-power active state — not full shutdown. Devices remain wirelessly reachable and can be powered on remotely from the Intager Game Manager without any physical contact. A fully charged device can remain in Stand-by for 5–10 days. If the battery drops critically low during that period, the device signals before going dark.
Up to 50 meters from the GameHub. This is enough to wake devices stored in a rack, a vehicle, or distributed across an indoor arena — without the operator needing to physically reach each unit.
No. There are no physical on/off switches on any Intager device. Power-on is only possible via the IGM or the NFC Operator App — both of which require operator access. This eliminates a common source of cheating where players self-activate equipment during a game.
The wake-up signal is sent from the IGM with a single click, and devices power on as the signal reaches them. There may be minor differences of a second or so depending on distance and the number of devices — but the entire fleet is operational within moments, with no manual steps required.
WiFi & connectivity
No. The Intager GameHub creates its own local WiFi network on-site. The entire system — markers, accessories, software — operates independently of any internet connection. This makes it equally suitable for remote outdoor fields and urban indoor arenas with no connectivity. "Online" in the Intager context means connected to the local GameHub, not the internet.
Game data is saved continuously on the device itself. If it moves out of range, it continues operating in offline mode — no interruption to the player. The moment it reconnects, it rejoins the network and syncs its data. Nothing is lost.
Select devices in the Intager Game Manager and click update — the entire fleet updates wirelessly over WiFi. New firmware, new games, new sounds. No USB cables, no plugging in devices one by one. All updates are free of charge.
In open conditions with full line of sight, ranges of up to 200 meters have been measured. In practice, obstacles, vegetation, and WiFi interference from other networks will affect coverage. The GameHub's dual-band WiFi is optimized for stable, high-device-count connections in real field conditions.
Accessories
The signal is emitted omnidirectionally — in every direction around the device at once. There are no blind spots. A player cannot avoid a Bomb detonation or a Multibox damage zone by approaching from the back or side. At maximum range settings, the signal can penetrate walls and affect players in adjacent spaces.
No. Hitting the Multibox with a laser is not enough on its own — the player must also be within the configured pickup range at the moment of the hit. Shooting from cover at long range won't work. Players have to physically get close, which is where the risk and tactical tension comes from.
Up to 100–130 meters, adjustable in four levels: Min, Low, High, and Max. The right setting depends on your field size, layout, and game format. We recommend doing test runs before locking in the range for a fixed deployment.
Bombs and Multiboxes are compatible with current-generation markers: Raptor 3, Raptor 3S, Troodon, and Troodon 3S. Some features and online game modes require the 3S variants specifically. Previous-generation markers are not compatible.
