Pigeon TEXTING

Pigeon TEXTING

MACROKIOSK powers Pigeon Clocking Sports in Philippines

The Race:

In the northern part of Philippines, usually in the Luzon area, pigeons are trained to take part in a community sport which aptly called the pigeon race. There are about 120 clubs which owns about 1,000 to 2,000 race pigeons. These club members will than compete with each other to see whose race pigeon can return to the designated loft in the shortest time. The race pigeon that reach the loft fastest will be the winning race pigeon. Is that simple!

The Coordination:

Prior to each race, the organizer will strap a stretchable sticker that contains an 8 digit numeric code to the race pigeon. This code will represent the identity of the race pigeon. The race pigeons are then release simultaneously. Once the race pigeon arrives at the respective loft, the owner will than need to send an SMS containing the 8 digit numeric code to a MACROKIOSK shortcode which is connected to the Pigeon Clocking Portal. The portal will then tabulate the time it takes for the race pigeon to arrive its loft. Certainly, the fastest time will be the winner.

The Future:

The Pigeon Clocking Portal will be enhanced with newer version that encompasses WAP, MMS and 2D/3D codes. The organizer will also spread its wing in promoting this friendly yet competitive sport to other countries namely China, Taiwan and Vietnam via MACROKIOSK extensive connectivity and reached.

The Founder:

The Pigeon Clocking System is founded in year 2007 by Mr. Gilbert E. Laurel, in the Philippines. MACROKIOSK is honoured to be a part of this high flying sport.

Introduction - clock.cav.ph

Pigeon Racing

Pigeon racing involves the flying of specially trained pigeons over long distances.

Pigeon racing is a sport involving the release of specially trained racing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the pigeons rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which bird returned at the highest rate of speed.

The winner of a pigeon race is the bird with the highest velocity, that is, the distance flown divided by the time taken. Races can often be won and lost in seconds, and to counter this, many different timing apparatus have been developed. The traditional timing method involves rubber rings being placed into a specially designed clock, whereas a newer development uses RFID tags to record arrival time.

Types of timing apparatus used here in the Philippines

Analog Clock

The traditional method of timing racing pigeons involves rubber rings with unique serial numbers and a specially designed pigeon racing clock. The ring is attached around the bird's leg before being sent to race. The serial number is recorded, the clock is set and sealed, and the bird carries the ring home. When the first bird returns, its trainer removes the ring and places it in a slot in the clock. The time that the ring was placed in the clock and is recorded as the official time that the competing bird arrived home. From this timestamp an average speed is measured and a winner of the race can be found.

Electronic Clock

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

Example of electronic clock used here in the Philippines:

Benzing Clock

SMS Clock (Mobile Phone)

The mobile phone (also called a wireless phone, or cellular phone)[1] is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video.

XDev Software Solution came up with this services, right now we are not just limited to SMS, clocking can be achieved via MMS and WAP (3g) internet access via mobile phone.
