People and vehicle access control product company Nortech is now offering a long-range reader based on semi active RFID (radio frequency identification), which enables automatic vehicle identification at distances of up to 10 metres and speeds of up to 125 mph, the manufacturer claims.

The TRANSIT Ultimate from Nedap is a reader designed for security and vehicular access control applications. It is described as suitable for use in staff car parks, for priority vehicle control, industrial site access control, fleet and parking management; and as a solution for tolling systems, distribution centres, bus lane control, taxi-feeder systems and vehicle access control.

The TRANSIT Ultimate offers a built-in antenna, an integrated read range adjustment board and a variety of communication interfaces for integration. The identification lobe of the reader is a directed beam, offering precise determination of the detection area.

To work alongside the TRANSIT Ultimate, Nedap has designed five tags to suit various sites: the Booster, Compact Tags, Window Button and Switch and the Heavy Duty Tag ISO.

The Booster combines long-range vehicle and driver identification at up to 10m.

The Compact Tags are small and credit card sized with identification up to seven metres. It benefits from dual side read capability and has an optional tag holder for windshield mounting.
