SINGAPORE, March 10, 2026 — STAR Systems International, a global leader in tolling technology, is proud to contribute to the transformation of tolling in Thailand by supplying the new M-Flow system with advanced tolling transponders. STAR Systems’ high-performance transponder, the Chara, has been chosen as the latest tolling transponder for the M-Flow system and is currently being rolled out.
The M-Flow system is being implemented in Thailand to modernize toll collection from manual cash-based tolling to electronic toll collection (ETC). STAR Systems is collaborating with FETC International Thailand, the systems integrator leading the M-Flow project as well as various tolling upgrades in Thailand. “M-Flow offers outstanding performance as every component of the system has been designed to work in unison. STAR Systems’ Chara integrates smoothly with FETC International Thailand’s roadside infrastructure, guaranteeing a seamless and reliable experience for every driver,” said Kenny Chen, Managing Director of FETC International Thailand.
The Chara is a high-performance OmniAir certified transponder designed for high-speed tolling systems. With an ideal read range, high accuracy, and strong durability, the Chara meets the requirements of a nationwide free-flow tolling program like M-Flow. Specifically designed for vehicle use, STAR Systems transponders are made with automotive grade adhesives and tested for extreme temperatures to mimic a variety of outdoor conditions.
By deploying the Chara transponder, the M-Flow system combines state-of-the-art technology with proven reliability. “Toll tags are just as crucial as the roadside infrastructure,” said Robert Karr, CEO of STAR Systems. “Without reliable transponders in every vehicle, even the most advanced gantry and detection system cannot reach its full potential.”
