TransCore, a global manufacturer of transportation-based radio frequency identification, or “RFID,” technology, has reportedly launched three new RFID transponders.

 

The transponders including the Interagency Group, or “IAG,” protocol standard onboard unit, the nationally interoperable eZGo Anywhere onboard unit with feedback LEDs and audio buzzer and the eZGo Anywhere HOT/ HOV onboard unit.

 

These new transponders are designed to provide motorists the ability to choose among operational occupant nomination modes with the push of a button.

 

Additionally, the company has also announced the multiprotocol Encompass 6 reader that can be adaptable to future deployments of 5.9 GHz technology.

 

John Simler, president of TransCore’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Group said that TransCore’s history of R&D has long catered to the company’s customers’ priorities so they can get the specific technology capabilities and performance they require.

 

“The technology developed to support these individual contract efforts is now available to the industry at large. There is no other manufacturer of toll collection products that can match the breadth of our transportation-based RFID products,” said Simler.

 

The newly launched IAG Standard Onboard Unit is a read/write unit that supports adding and editing data to its onboard memory at high speeds in real-time.

 

It is designed to meet the Interagency Group performance requirements for supporting its 25 member agencies throughout the Northeast.

 

With high-speed, high-performance, RFID tag (News - Alert) is ideal for electronic toll collection and traffic management applications. This new OBU is fully interoperable with all existing IAG equipment.

 

eZGo Anywhere product line expansion offers national interoperability, allowing a motorist to use just one tag as they move from state to state or from one toll region to the next. The two new onboard units support varying requirements for driver feedback or versatile modes of operation.

 

Additionally, the anywhere onboard unit of eZGo with feedback LEDs is a high speed, high performance multiprotocol RFID tag suitable for electronic toll collection and traffic management applications where driver feedback is specified. It is a read/write OBU that supports adding and editing data to the transponder at high speeds in real time. It enables advanced security techniques that ensure a tag's authenticity while preventing data corruption and/or alteration. eZGo Anywhere OBU cases are constructed of durable, impact resistant, molded plastic and are available in six colors.

 

 

TransCore’s IAG Encompass 6 reader system allows 5.9 GHz technology upgrade, which allows toll authorities to move forward with technology deployments. Reportedly, the Encompass 6 reader can support up to 7 different protocols.
