Alberta Health Services Deploys TagMaster North America RFID for Emergency Medical Services



A mission critical performance solution for critical service missions.

TACOMA, WA | November 30, 2016 – TagMaster North America, Inc., the leading provider of long-range, high-performance Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) deployed its embedded standalone access control solution  for the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) vehicle dispatch center at Alberta Health Services  in Canada.  

TagMaster RFID systems will provide the EMS stations with a comprehensive, site-wide standardized solution for their ambulance bay dispatch centers.   By simplifying ambulance access with features from TagMaster such as customized reports and ingress tracking, an increase in security and operational efficiency for these vital EMS dispatch centers became possible without having to install a scale-invariant third party access control panel. 

TagMaster installed its robust LR-Series RFID Readers with embedded ACTS Essential software in conjunction with the S1255 MarkTag Classic Tags to allow for quick, hands-free vehicle access for EMS personnel and other authorized medical agency staff at Alberta Health Services. The Long-Range LR-Readers identify a vehicle's TagMaster AVI Tag at a distance of up to 18 feet as it approaches the entrance of the dispatch station, logs the authorized credential and triggers the roll up door to open for valid tags while denying access to anyone not permitted access.

“The implementation of ACTS Essential software allows us to save valuable time for a wider market of users in need of an innovative and cost effective solution for mission critical operations.“ – Ali Khaksar, President and CEO of TagMaster North America, Inc.

Tag Master’s advanced RFID ACTS software is a Reader-embedded system offering enhanced features such as: customized associated credentials, real-time IP camera support, tailored and customizable reports, time stamping, gate/holiday scheduling and port forwarding all within a user-friendly, standard web-based interface.

University of Washington, Seattle Chooses T2 and TagMaster North America Combination

Permit process and parking access control better managed through integrated IP-based solutions and stand-alone systems.

TACOMA, WA | November 2, 2016 – TagMaster North America, Inc., the leading provider of long-range, high-performance Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) established its embedded standalone access control solution now integrates directly with T2 System’s permit management and enforcement and T2 Flex system. This integration enabled The University of Washington, Seattle to create a truly unified parking management platform.

T2 Systems, a parking solutions supplier, provided the University with T2 Flex, a comprehensive and campus-wide parking system that manages parking access, revenue control and permits, making parking management and enforcement a seamless operation.

Over Forty TagMaster long-range UHF XT-3 Readers were integrated into T2’s cohesive solution, ultimately allowing for quick, hands-free vehicle access for students, faculty and staff at the controlled parking areas on UW’s campus. The long-range RFID Reader identifies a vehicle’s TagMaster AVI Tag as it approaches an entrance/exit gate and T2 Flex verifies the identity, triggering a gate to open for valid tags and denying access to anyone not permitted access in the specific parking area. TagMaster North America was able to add features onto the XT-3 Readers such as tag filtering, where the Readers are able to correctly and reliably distinguish between multiple tags in an area without disrupting the processing time, and TCP/IP, where the communications protocol can be used in the universities private network.

“This innovative combination along with T2 System’s market leading technology offers the unique opportunity for organizations like universities to utilize available parking more efficiently and enhance their level of customer service while increasing their parking revenue. It was a pleasure working with an organization so close to home such as UW and successfully providing them with a combined solution that works from T2 Systems!” – Ali Khaksar, President, TagMaster North America
