Alphatag Arena: wireless arena laser tag
Arena laser tag without the cable: for the first time, vest and blaster talk over Wi-Fi, so no more snapped cables mid-match. A colour IPS display, Ambi Light 2.0 and a single ARM controller make it the next generation of arena play.
How it works
-
No tether
Vest and blaster sync wirelessly: electronics rebuilt from scratch for reliable Wi-Fi sync.
-
See everything
A colour IPS display driven by STM ARM Cortex processors, and Ambi Light 2.0 showing team colour and in-game events.
-
Play fair
The off-hand sensor blocks firing if the blaster is held wrong (one-handed, for example); the reload key under the handle works without letting go.
-
Run the arena
AlphaTag Server for Windows plus mobile and tablet apps, more than 20 built-in scenarios and 15+ add-on devices.
Why operators switch
-
Charge and forget
The blaster’s 5500 mAh battery lasts up to 50 hours, a full week of peak sessions, and charges in under 3 hours over USB Type-C. The vest’s 8000 mAh battery lasts up to 36 hours.
-
One brain
A single controller instead of three processors, with protection against static and EMI.
-
Built for rental
A futuristic shell with soft rubber bumpers front and rear for dark mazes; a lightweight hypoallergenic vest with a removable AirMesh liner.
-
Choose your kit
Classic (vest + blaster) or Quick start (X-shaped headbands + blaster). Mix them: kids in vests, adults in headbands.
-
Two optics
The Pulsar blaster ships with Parallax or Prism optics to suit the venue and format.
-
Add-ons
Digital flags, mines, grenades, targets and more: support for 15+ add-on devices.
