STAR Systems Multiprotocol Reader Obtains E-ZPass Group Certification

STAR Systems International announced that its Titan Pro multiprotocol transponder reader successfully completed certification testing and is now approved for revenue use by the E-ZPass Group.

The company noted, “The E-ZPass certification process is one of the most rigorous approval programs in the tolling industry, requiring comprehensive laboratory and field testing to ensure compliance with stringent performance, interoperability, and reliability standards required for tolling systems. Readers are evaluated for accuracy in over 30,000 complex scenarios, including high‑speed traffic, diverse vehicle types, and multi-lane, multi-protocol configurations. Through this rigorous process, the Titan Pro demonstrated its ability to deliver high-accuracy performance under demanding real-world conditions.”

STAR Systems designed Titan Pro to be compatible with new and legacy infrastructure. Its characteristics include four high-speed antenna ports, advanced encryption, embedded applications support, the RAIN Communication Interface (RCI), and NanoSync™ technology. The latter feature supports synchronization of multiple Titan Pro units with sub-microsecond level precision via ethernet. NanoSync™ simplifies system architecture, reduces installation complexity, and enables complex multi-reader installations to operate optimally as a unified system.
