Introducing the NORBIT GNSS on-board unit

Looking for a tailored Connectivity solution?

Published

For several years, NORBIT has been a supplier of enforcement modules, based on the DSRC technology, used in satellite-based On-Board Units.

In 2024, and in line with the strategy to broaden the product offering and customer base, NORBIT announced its plan to develop a new and innovative GNSS-based
On-Board Unit, thus taking a significant larger scope of the total delivery to the end
customer. The GNSS On-Board Units uses satellite-based positioning data for accurate measurement of distance travelled, accommodating distance-based charging for heavy duty vehicles, a technology which has been adopted by several European countries for collecting tolling fees. The GNSS On-Board Unit contributes to efficient toll collection with a single On-Board Unit across borders in the European Union.

As part of the development, NORBIT entered into a partnership with Toll4Europe,
one of Europe’s leading European Electronic Toll Service (‘EETS’) operators. EETS
simplifies pan-European transportation routes where one subscription and a single
On-Board Unit through most of Europe permits the compliant billing of the respective national road tolls by one service provider. Compared to gantry-based toll stations with cash transactions, GNSS On-Board Units and EETS improves traffic flow and reduces congestion.
