Catapult Deploys Vector 8 With AWS IoT

Catapult Sports has built Vector 8, a next-generation athlete-monitoring system, using AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Greengrass, Amazon MSK, ECS and S3 to ingest device health, live 'hot' data at 10 Hz and 'cold' 100 Hz inertial data. The system supports rapid OTA updates—up to 32× faster—serving over 5,000 teams and enabling faster feature delivery, streamlined onboarding, and scalable ML-backed performance analytics.
Key Points
- 1Delivers real-time hot, cold, and device-health telemetry via AWS IoT and Amazon MSK
- 2Enables 32× faster OTA updates, ensuring near-universal fleet firmware currency and fewer support tickets
- 3Allows rapid iteration and weekly feature releases, accelerating ML model deployment and team insights
Scoring Rationale
Official AWS case study highlights significant operational gains and rapid OTA updates, but remains a vendor-specific deployment.
