## FAQ
- Q: Does the label work on vehicles with metallic or heated windshields?
  A: Standard UHF windshield labels work on most automotive glass. Vehicles with metallic-coated (athermic) windshields or heated windshields with embedded wires can attenuate UHF signals by an additional 8-15 dB. We offer a specialised athermic-glass variant with a tuned antenna that delivers reliable reads even on metallic-coated windshields, plus a placement-zone option that targets the uncoated 'RFID window' near the rearview mirror reserved for GPS / ADAS sensors. Contact us with your vehicle fleet details for compatibility testing — we provide a sample roll of 50 labels for on-vehicle read-range validation before committing to volume.
- Q: Can someone peel off the label and put it on another car?
  A: No. The destructible adhesive is engineered to fracture the label and break the antenna circuit if removal is attempted. The label disintegrates into small fragments and cannot be reassembled or reapplied. This tamper-evident feature prevents unauthorised transfer between vehicles and provides visual evidence of tampering.
- Q: What is the read range and speed?
  A: With a standard UHF fixed reader and circularly polarised antenna at 30 dBm EIRP (FCC) or 33 dBm ERP (ETSI), the windshield label reads reliably at 3-10 m at vehicle speeds up to 120 km/h. Exact range depends on reader power, antenna gain, windshield composition (clear vs athermic) and reader-antenna placement (overhead vs side-mounted). We provide site-survey support to optimise reader placement for your gate layout.
- Q: How does a passive UHF RFID windshield label differ from EZPass / SunPass / FasTrak / 6C electronic toll collection transponders, and which is appropriate for my use case?
  A: Electronic toll collection (ETC) operates on two distinct technology tracks. (1) Legacy active-battery transponders — EZPass / IAG (15-state US Northeast compact), TransCore SeGo protocol — use a 915 MHz battery-powered transponder that actively transmits when interrogated. These systems predate standardisation and are largely proprietary to TransCore (Roper Technologies). (2) Modern passive UHF 6C transponders — EZPass Group 6C Gen2, SunPass Pro, TxTag, FasTrak (California), ExpressToll (Colorado), Ohio E-ZPass 6C — use ISO/IEC 18000-63 / EPC Gen2v2 passive UHF, the same air interface as our windshield label. The 6C transition has been underway since 2015 and the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) targets near-national 6C interoperability by late 2020s. Our windshield labels use the 6C-compatible air interface and can be encoded with the agency-specified EPC format, but interoperability with a specific toll agency requires an agency-issued transponder ID and a back-office agreement — we do not supply transponders for direct use on public tolling infrastructure. For private access (corporate, HOA, hospital, campus, logistics yard, port), our windshield labels are purpose-fit; for public tolling, the end customer must procure through the agency.
- Q: Can the same windshield-RFID deployment support connected-vehicle C-V2X / 5G-V2X telematics and emerging federal connected-vehicle rulemaking?
  A: No — RFID windshield labels and cellular V2X (C-V2X) / 5G-V2X are distinct and complementary technologies. C-V2X operates on dedicated 5.9 GHz ITS bands under FCC Report and Order 20-164 (2020) which reallocated the upper 30 MHz of the 5.850-5.925 GHz band to C-V2X after vacating DSRC. 3GPP Release 14 defined C-V2X; Release 16 added 5G-V2X (NR-V2X). These are active, bidirectional, high-bandwidth vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure telematics for collision avoidance, cooperative perception and autonomous-driving handshakes — a different technology from passive UHF RFID vehicle identification. For parking access, gated community entry, corporate campus, toll-plaza 6C tolling, and fleet yard management, passive UHF RFID windshield labels remain the cost-effective and well-deployed solution (USD 0.20-2.00 per label, no battery, no firmware). For connected-vehicle safety telematics, the vehicle OEM's built-in C-V2X module — not a windshield RFID label — is the appropriate layer. Both can coexist: the RFID handles identification-for-access at points with dedicated readers, and C-V2X handles safety-telematics broadcast in transit.
