APT Skidata introduces long-range RFID solution to complement its existing ANPR capabilities

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:00:00 GMT

APT Skidata, the UK's leading parking specialist, has further enhanced its portfolio of parking technologies with the introduction of a new long-range Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and reader solution to complement its existing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities.

Nigel Young, Sales Director at APT Skidata, says that there is a clear need for such technologies in applications where ANPR may not be cost-effective or practical to install and manage: "A low-cost long-range RFID technology is ideal in certain scenarios where the full cost of an ANPR solution cannot be justified," he says.

"For vehicle drivers who may move from site to site, or visit the same site on multiple occasions such as universities, hospitals, company car parks etc the ability for a vehicle to be 'recognised' and its identification linked to a driver and a driver's 'virtual' account is a clear advantage," he adds.
