The 05726 embedded IAG read-only module is a radio frequency identification
(RFID) radio that can be integrated into other systems to create RFID-enabled
products that support the E-ZPass

This document is written for developers and explains how to incorporate the 05726
TransCore Radio Module (hereafter called the 05726 radio module) into a third-party
host system.

Hardware Overview

Introduction to the 05726 IAG

Read-Only Radio Module

®

Interagency Group (IAG) protocol.

The 05726 radio module is a single board module designed for more space­constrained applications. The digital and analog electronics are located on the same
circuit board.

The 05726 radio module is designed to be incorporated into products requiring
capabilities in a small form factor. Table 1 shows the basic features of the radio
hardware.

Input Power Requirements +5V DC
Communication Interfaces High-speed serial interface
Protocols supported IAG read-only
Dimensions (L x D x H) 3.1 x 2.5 x 0.3 in. (78 x 63 x 8 mm)

RF Connector

The 05726 radio module supports one MMCX connector for a single monostatic
antenna.
