TransCore announces radio frequency identification (RFID) and satellite communication distribution milestones, exceeding 150,000 satellite communications transceivers worldwide and surpassing 25 million RFID tags and 45,000 RFID readers worldwide. Annual production of the company's eGo paper-thin windshield sticker tags also surpassed predecessor hard-case models, marking the shift towards newer more versatile RFID tags that can perform under the rigors of long-range and high-speed requirements for transportation applications.
TransCore's RFID tags are deployed in transportation applications in 39 countries with easily recognizable wireless toll collection systems in use in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma or internationally in Hong Kong. Additionally, to track rail assets there are two TransCore tags on virtually every rail car in interchange service in North America, while universities like Harvard, Michigan, University of Southern California and more than 30 others use TransCore tags for parking and access control. Airports such as Dallas Fort Worth International to LAX and more than 60 other airports use TransCore's RFID tags for parking and ground transportation applications.
