Robust, accurate and flexible
TRANSIT Ultimate is an incredibly robust RFID reader that retains peak performance, even in harsh environments. And has the exceptional power to identify both vehicles and drivers simultaneously – even when they’re up to 15 meters* away and travelling at speeds of up to 200km/h.
This ability to identify vehicles and drivers at the same time, and the fact TRANSIT Ultimate is extremely accurate, makes it ideal for situations needing high-security vehicular access control.
Based on semi-active RFID technology, TRANSIT Ultimate reads vertically and horizontally, and has an adjustable read range. So there’s lots of flexibility to position it in the best place for the situation.
*When used with Window Button. The maximum read range depends on the identifier type, the installation and the environment.

FAQ
What is a TRANSIT reader?
A TRANSIT Ultimate reader is an RFID reader that automatically identifies vehicles and drivers using semi-active RFID technology, in combination with a reader and a tag. The technology enables fast and secure access without manual checks, ensuring optimal traffic flow at locations where high security is essential.
How does a TRANSIT reader work?
The TRANSIT Ultimate reader from Nedap operates using semi-active RFID technology. The reader sends a signal to the tag, which simultaneously identifies the vehicle and the driver. With a long reading range of up to 15 meters, identification can occur while the vehicle is in motion, even at high speeds
What is the difference between active, passive, and semi-active RFID?
Active RFID tags have their own power source and continuously transmit signals, while passive tags rely on the reader’s energy to respond. Semi-active RFID combines the advantages of both: the tag is battery-powered but only transmits when detected. This makes it both energy-efficient and reliable over long distances, such as for vehicle access.
Does the technology also work under harsh conditions?
Yes, the TRANSIT Ultimate is designed for use in high-security and demanding environments. The reader maintains accurate performance in adverse weather, temperature fluctuations, and at high speeds. Thanks to its robust design and secure OSDP communication protocol, identification remains stable and reliable, even in industrial or outdoor settings.
In which situations is a TRANSIT Ultimate reader used?
TRANSIT Ultimate readers are deployed in high-security environments and under extreme conditions, such as airports, ports, factories, mines, or military sites. The technology enables automatic linking of vehicles and drivers, providing enhanced security and smooth traffic flow at access control points.
