Mr. Stephen Lockhart, CTO of SSI and Co-Inventor of the new design, stated, “We are very happy to receive these patents. Vespira is an excellent product for Urban Congestion Pricing.”

Vespira is specifically designed to be a curb-side antenna for smart city initiatives such as congestion pricing and traffic monitoring.  SSI’s newly patented antenna design provides an electronically down-tilted radiation pattern in a curved structure.  This feature allows Vespira to be mounted upright and flush to a utility pole creating the perfect read zone while blending in naturally and aesthetically with urban environments.

“These patent approvals signify our valuable contribution to innovation. They further endorse SSI’s strategy to stay at the forefront of technological development and our commitment to transforming the Automatic Vehicle Identification Industry,” continued Lockhart.

These patents are awarded by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and Taiwan Intellectual Property Office and are expected to remain in force for 20 years.
