RSSSweden-headquartered RFID specialist 177 TagMaster has received an order from Richor, the company’s premium Chinese distributor, to supply 10,000 Heavy-duty ID-tags. These customised 2.45 GHz ID-tags form part of several equipment orders relating to the Letter of Intent announced in May 2011, which covers the joint development of an RFID system for use on mainline railways in China.

TagMaster’s heavy-duty ID-tags will be installed on the track and form part of a new onboard warning system which will be used to improve train safety when trains pass temporary speed limits at work areas located on the line. The hardware supplied also includes heavy-duty RFID Readers which will be mounted onboard trains. The onboard warning system first underwent performance testing in China in 2010 and a full scale trial has been approved by the Ministry of Rail in China.
