TagMaster Receives New Order from Bombardier for São Paulo Line 5 Project


Stockholm, Sweden, 24 July 2012 - TagMaster, the leading producer of advanced
RFID solutions for rail applications, has received an order from Bombardier
Transportation to provide TagMaster’s advanced RFID solution for their project
to upgrade and extend the signalling on Line 5 on the São Paulo Metro in Brazil.
Bombardier has placed an initial order on TagMaster valued at 3.5 million
Swedish crowns (MSEK) for Heavy-duty (HD) Readers and ID-Tags which will be
delivered over a 12 month period beginning in August 2012. Additional orders for
TagMaster’s Heavy-duty ID-Tags and system spare parts for the project are
anticipated during 2013.

Bombardier’s scope for this project in São Paulo comprises the turnkey design,
supply, installation and commissioning of its globally-proven CITYFLO 650
communications-based train control (CBTC) solution for the existing 8.4 km of
line with six stations plus the extension of the line by 11.6 km with 11 new
stations and a total of 34 trains. The TagMaster RFID Readers will be installed
under the trains and provide both primary train location information and
accurate positioning information to the CITYFLO 650 CBTC train control system.
This driverless system will enable trains to circulate in safety with a short 75
second headway, therefore maximising the line capacity. The system will also use
TagMaster’s Field Programmable version of the HD Tag, which will enable the
Bombardier Installation Team to program individual tag location information in
the tag to suit the actual mounting position.

"Once again, we are pleased to confirm TagMaster as our RFID solution provider
for another major CITYFLO 650 project in South America. The TagMaster solution
is an important element of the advanced CBTC system that Bombardier is supplying
to São Paulo," said Jeff Stover, Director of Signalling Engineering at the
Pittsburgh USA site of Bombardier Transportation’s Rail Control Solutions
division.

“This is an important new order which further strengthens our order stock for
RFID systems to be delivered to Bombardier over the coming year. Our co
-operation with Bombardier spans more than 8 years and this will be the twelfth
Bombardier CITYFLO 650 mass transit project globally to use a TagMaster RFID
solution,” commented Richard Holt, Director of Sales - Transportation at
TagMaster AB.
