The Association of French Toll Concessionaires (ASFA) has recently awarded EFKON the TIS interoperability certificate for their in-house microwave transceiver. This certificate serves as a critical prerequisite for executing toll projects in France and guarantees interoperability with over 20 approved onboard units (OBU) in France.

France, a longstanding advocate of traditional toll systems, has provided ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) with DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) systems operating at 5.8 GHz for several decades. Currently, more than 10 million users have registered for ETC with OBUs. The French market is increasingly trending toward Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) systems, where EFKON is well-positioned to contribute its innovative free-flow components and solutions in the future.
