Happy with reader results: Eric Redman of Federal Signal Technologies
811 Federal Signal Technologies just completed an open testing period with the North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA), proving its RFID readers and Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras are able to read multiple protocols at high speeds.

“This is really the first time any products have shown the ability to read all six protocols in a high-speed environment,” said Eric Redman, Vice President of Sales North America, Federal Signal Technology.

The testing took place earlier this month and assessed both “East Coast” and “West Coast” standards, including IAG, 6C and 6B. The results show that it is technically possible to travel from New York to San Francisco and have virtually any toll agency be able to collect vehicle, tag and driver information.

The multi-protocol technology can also be used for traffic management, commercial truck tracking, EVR and other ITS applications.

The results will be published online on the NCTA website.
