TORONTO, ON, Canada; ITS World Congress, NEW YORK, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sirit, a global provider of radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology today announced during the ITS World Congress show in New York City, it has achieved European Telecommunications Standards Institute ("ETSI") certification for its industry leading IDentity 5100 reader.

The IDentity 5100 ETSI is ideal for long-range, high speed applications where vehicles may travel at speeds up to 100 MPH (160 KMH). It has been designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, temperatures, humidity and vibration, while providing optimal performance and security in European or other ETSI regulated regions.

"Open standards-based technology is leading the way in automatic vehicle identification ("AVI"), be it for electronic toll collection, vehicle registration or emissions control applications. Sirit is excited to bring the ETSI certified version of our flagship AVI product to serve the European and other markets worldwide," said John Freund, Vice President Sales, Sirit Inc. "The ISO 18000-6C technology that the IDentity 5100 is built upon is fast, adaptive, provides a flexible memory space and is capable of transmitting encrypted data, creating a solution which offers a superior balance of performance and price for AVI applications," added Mr. Freund.

The IDentity 5100 ETSI enables Sirit's integrated AVI solutions to serve the European markets in vehicle registration, vehicle emissions validation and insurance compliance, in addition to traditional AVI applications such as electronic tolling, parking and access control.
