TransCore announces radio frequency identification (RFID) and satellite communication distribution milestones, exceeding 150,000 satellite communications transceivers worldwide and 25 million RFID tags and 45,000 RFID readers worldwide.

Annual production of the company's eGo paper-thin windshield sticker tags also surpassed predecessor hard-case models, marking the shift towards newer more versatile RFID tags that can perform under the rigors of long-range and high-speed requirements for transportation applications.
TransCore's RFID tags are deployed in transportation applications in 39 countries with easily recognizable wireless toll collection systems in use in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma or internationally in Hong Kong.
TransCore's RFID heritage traces back to the '80s when five scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory developed RFID technology for two divisions of the federal government: the Department of Energy to track vehicles and nuclear materials and the Department of Agriculture to track cattle and monitor their health. In 1983, congress encouraged the national laboratories to transfer technology to the private sector so the public could benefit from the investment of research dollars. The development team left Los Alamos to commercialize the technology and founded Amtech, later acquired by TransCore.
