Tag sourcing fit
What this tag type is designed for
Windshield tags in this category are intended for passive UHF vehicle identification where a fixed reader or handheld reader needs to associate a vehicle with a software record.
Vehicle RFID projects should account for windshield materials, mounting position, antenna placement, lane geometry, tag encoding, and the business rule triggered by the read.

Actual read range depends on reader, antenna, lane geometry, windshield material, mounting position, tag orientation, RF power, and environment.
RF and mounting
Material, mounting, and read-point considerations
Use this tag type when a vehicle should be identified at a controlled read point without requiring a visible barcode scan.
Review before rollout
- Windshield coatings and vehicle glass composition can affect read performance.
- Gate systems need antenna placement, lane control, vehicle spacing, and event logic designed together.
- Tag encoding should associate the vehicle with the correct record, permit, asset ID, or customer workflow.
Testing guidance
Important limitations
- Do not assume toll-road, DMV, or regulatory compatibility without project-specific review.
- Access-control compatibility depends on the reader, controller, credential model, and system integration.
- Read testing should include representative vehicles and installation positions.

Connect the tag to the right RFID workflow
A sourcing page can narrow tag selection, but the final choice should be validated with the reader, antenna, software record, asset material, environment, and operating process.
