As the company points out, it has always been a proponent of providing multi-protocol systems and solutions for open road tolling. These systems allow agencies and integrators to leverage legacy tag populations while providing a forward look towards adoption of new technology platforms as they arrive. With the development and release of 495 Sirit IDentity readers, 37 PIPS Technology Cameras, 36 Idris Lane Systems and 2073 VESystems back office solutions; FSTech has become a leader in an industry with an eye on interoperability.

During the recent technology showcase conducted in North Carolina with other industry vendors, FSTech divisions Sirit and PIPS demonstrated new multi-protocol reader and transponder technology and high-speed automatic licence plate recognition (ALPR) cameras. The company says the success of these tests shows the industry that interoperability is no longer just a possibility; with the technology available today it can provide proven solutions that provide a path to interoperability in open road tolling.
