The old "beam" system is more precise than the Trakus system and they choose not to use it, I assume due to the extra manpower requirements. I'm not sure the Trakus system is any less manpower intensive, probably more so as a beacon (The "chip") needs to be placed on the horse in addition to all the other data gathering tasks involved with the old system.
