iPico Launches RFID Electronic Vehicle Identification (EVI) in South Africa
A new passive UHF RFID tracking system released by iPico in South Africa will enable government agencies and other organizations to electronically track the location of vehicles in real-time. The readers have a range of six meters and can track cars moving as fast as 250 km/h.
According to allAfrica.com:
They use frequencies in the UHF band between 860MHz and 960MHz, operate between -40 and 85 degrees Celsius, have a lifespan of up to seven years, and cost around R3 if bought in volume.
"The RFID problem of reading vehicles at ultra-high speed with very low cost RFID devices has been overcome by our proven iP-X technology," claims [iPico CEO Luther] Erasmus. "In tests, an ENP tag inside a C55 AMG Mercedes Benz was read with 100% accuracy at speeds in excess of 250km/h at a range of 6m."
