Following a nine-month field test, Denver, Colorado-based E-470 highway authority is to use 946 Confidex’s 18000-6C UHF RFID windshield tags in their all-electronic ExpressToll toll collection system.

E-470 processes on average 3.5 million ExpressToll transactions monthly, requiring a high level of reliability for the non-stop, electronic tolling system at highway speeds. The 808 OmniAir-certified18000-6C UHF tag is a reliable and tamper evident solution that is attached to the car windshield to automatically identify vehicles in high speed applications such as free-flow tolling. The tag is non-transferable and cannot be removed without being destroyed. The user memory is password protected and can hold encrypted user data.

“We have been very impressed with the level of service, overall product performance and Confidex’s responsiveness to our requests.” Jessica Carson, manager of Marketing and Communications at E-470.
