Eliminate Bleed Off to Other Utilities

With RF Technology, there is no bleed off from one utility's location technology to another. One of a few distinct advantages over tracer wire.

Congestion is an increasingly common concern for utilities in urban areas.

Radiofrequency (RF) path markers embedded in marker tape provide a few unique benefits other technologies do not:

  • No "bleed off" from one marker to another, an issue seen with tracer wire.
  • Each utility type uses a distinct, identifiable frequency.
  • Embedding RF path markers into marker tape at the correct intervals makes the installation process efficient and creates consistency.
  • Markers do not require electricity to operate, which is not only convenient but ideal in situations such as after hazardous weather.
  • Markers also do not require continuity. If there is damage to a portion of the tape, the remaining markers will still work.
