In case you got one of these Linkt toll tags, and you are wondering what it holds inside, no worries, I did that for you.

What is Linkt? Linkt is the e-TAG tolling brand in Australia. Basically that little thing you put on your windshield and “beeps” when you go under a toll arc, so you easily pay the tolls. And this device is built by an Austrian company.

Details of the TRP-4010 Transponder

The TRP-4010 Transponder, also known as the Kapsch tag, is an electronic toll collection device commonly used in vehicles to automatically pay tolls on highways, bridges, or tunnels. It’s part of a DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) system that communicates with roadside toll stations as the vehicle passes through.

Kapsch, an Austrian technology company, manufactures these transponders, which are typically attached to a vehicle’s windshield. When the car approaches a toll booth, the tag sends a unique identifier to the toll system, allowing for quick, contactless payment without requiring the vehicle to stop.

This type of tag is widely used in Europe and other regions with electronic toll collection infrastructure.
