deister Celebrates 2000th UHF RFID Installation
Installation coincides with industry announcement of anticipated growth in RFID market in 2011
Manassas, VA., December 17, 2010— deister Electronics shipped and finalized its 2000th installation of its UHF-based tranSpeed management software and passive UHF transponder/RFID Windshield tags at the Frankfurt CommerzBank Arena, a venue for many large events and the home of the Eintracht Frankfurt soccer club. This landmark installation coincides with a report from ABI research, “RFID Annual Market Overview”, projecting significant growth in the RFID industry. According to the report, systems like this and other RFID systems are expected to grow in revenues from $5.5 billion to $6.2 billion in 2011. Michael Liard of Security Systems News reports that the “main drivers for growth will continue to be different forms of access control, retail theft applications and asset tracking and supply chain integrity.” In addition to access control, deister offers products that support all of these applications.
In the Frankfurt CommerzBank Arena installation, access by arena service staff to parking areas is now controlled with deister’s solution. tranSpeed uses deister’s secure and convenient UHF technology and parking management software combined with an IDC controller unit. A secure and low-cost passive UHF transponder works in conjunction with RFID tags placed on the inside of service car windscreens. Cars can be identified with the safe, hands-free solution from a distance of 5 meters. The battery-free nature of the transponder reduces costs for the arena both in the investment phase and throughout the lifetime of the system. The tranSpeed management software is administrator-friendly, making updates to staff changes, temporary personnel, contractors’ use and any of the myriad changes in access at a venue this large easy.
deister Electronic has been manufacturing and supplying UHF-based RFID products for over eight years. The company is a global forerunner in this technology in access control, logistics and asset management.
