The ICA long-range reader is an RFID (radio frequency identification) reader especially developed for vehicle detection, and it provides a high-performance and cost-effective supplement. The UHF (ultra-high frequency) transponder, the counterpart of the long-range reader, is located on a hybrid chip card.

As digital information can be read from and stored on the chip card up to a distance of 5 metres, the long-range reader is a convenient solution. It is sufficient to hold the hybrid chip card against the windscreen from inside the car or to place it on the dashboard. This comfort is supplemented by the robust design and the extremely low operating costs.
