There's Still Time to Register for RAE's July 14th Webinar, "Automatic Vehicle Identification & Ingress (AVI) Solutions - Making Life Easier"

Join Reno A&E tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. PDT for an informative 45-minute webinar on our Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) & Ingress System that provides for rapid access for authorized vehicles to enter gated / secure areas automatically. Our unique AVI transponder emits a low frequency signal that is inductively coupled with any existing roadway loop connected to any one of our several AVI loop detectors. This webinar will relate how gated communities are using the system to allow only authorized vehicles to gain prompt access, without having to use keys or key pads. This technology is also being used to provide transit signal priority for buses at intersections without additional roadside infrastructure. To register, kindly visit http://bit.ly/1fJSC82.

TCN Fundraiser

 

Another way you can support the TCN is through the purchase of an ad. You've probably noticed the TCN is not filled with ads. There's only one text ad per edition because I don't want the news to be crowded out by advertisements. I also want to make sure the one ad that appears stands out and isn't competing with others. A number of companies have used the TCN to promote new products, upcoming displays at trade shows, webinars, and even to advertise job openings. The cost is only $100 to reach the 7,800+ email addresses on the distribution list. You not only get your message out to a big audience, but you help support the daily updates. Please contact me for more information on advertising in the TCN. You can also make a contribution by check or credit card. Please see the information below on how to do that. THANK YOU!
