Rekor Systems, Inc. announced a transformative deployment with a Sun Belt state transportation agency. As part of a new state initiative to upgrade its planning and operations capabilities, Rekor will deploy 150 Rekor Discover systems under a one-year Data-as-a-Service contract valued at $1.2 million. The Company expects all 150 systems to be installed within 60 days.
The program will enable the agency to use Rekor's Roadway Data-as-a- Service model to modernize traffic data collection and monitoring. The Rekor Discover platform complies with Federal Highway Administration requirements and uses AI-enabled roadside sensors to generate detailed, per-vehicle data using proprietary privacy protection techniques. This eliminates the need to rely on intrusive in-road sensors that create dangerous and disruptive traffic conditions and pose roadway worker safety risks when they fail or need to be maintained.
In addition to this significant expansion, Rekor Discover is being adopted by many transportation agencies nationwide, with installations in states including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, New Mexico, New York, Florida, and South Carolina. With a significant and expanding footprint already in place, Rekor Discover is demonstrating strong momentum in the U.S. market, and international transportation agencies are beginning to take notice, signaling the potential for broader global expansion. The potential of Rekor Discover goes far beyond the U.S. The International Road Federation's World Road Statistics shows that more than 60 countries actively collect traffic data to improve safety and transportation planning.
With proven scalability, U.S.-based AI, and non-intrusive installation, Rekor is positioned to serve domestic and international markets, seeking modern, cost-effective alternatives to legacy traffic technologies. afer, Smarter, and Scalable Transportation Planning and Operations: Rekor Discover and its non-intrusive Edge Series systems represent a significant leap forward in traffic planning and operations. Unlike traditional methods such as piezo sensors and rubber tubes, which are prone to failure in harsh conditions and require roadway intrusive installation, Rekor's AI-based solution is installed without road closures, posing no risk to workers or disruption to traffic.
It also enables accurate roadway data collection in locations previously considered too hazardous or congested for traditional methods, where side-firing radar systems are often limited by obstructions, placement restrictions, or reduced precision in complex traffic environments.
