Q-Free has added two new high performance products to its product portfolio, both with low power consumption and long life use.
The OBU615 is a Dedicated Short-Range Communication-based (DSRC) on-board unit (OBU) for applications such as electronic toll collection (ETC) and congestion charging, automatic vehicle identification (AVI), electronic registration identification (ERI), access control and parking. The device uses the same in-vehicle mounting as he OBU610, reducing logistic and operational costs
The OBU615 is a Dedicated Short-Range Communication-based (DSRC) on-board unit (OBU) for applications such as electronic toll collection (ETC) and congestion charging, automatic vehicle identification (AVI), electronic registration identification (ERI), access control and parking. The device uses the same in-vehicle mounting as he OBU610, reducing logistic and operational costs and reducing waste and handling, while the OBU615L version has a ten-year life and the OBU610S has a nominal lifetime of more than seven years.
The new OBU utilises advanced signal discrimination techniques, which ensure it only operates when signalled by a legitimate DSRC source and providing full immunity to other radio frequency sources, such as wi-fi in the 5GHz (802.11a, ac, p) band.
The RSE620 is a small, lightweight CEN TC278 DSRC-compliant transceiver designed for parking and access control applications, as well as general stop-and-go payment services. Built on an innovative new CPU platform, it features ultra-low power consumption combined with fast DSRC processing capability. Only 40 mm in depth, the transceiver works in all weather conditions, indoors and outdoors, and has IP65 dust and water protection.
The RSE620’s ‘instant on’ feature ensures the reader is fully operational only 10ms after powering up, enabling it to be used in very low-power applications. It may be run from a variety of power sources such as batteries, solar panels or wind turbines and its ultra-low power consumption makes it ideal for all type of access applications, including for areas where main power is not available.
