Sensys Networks

What Sensys Networks does

Sensys Networks, Inc. is a US-based provider of wireless and multi-technology traffic detection systems for government transportation agencies, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sweden's TagMaster AB (NASDAQ Stockholm: TAGMA.B) since a May 2019 merger. Founded in the mid-1990s by UC Berkeley researchers and headquartered in Emeryville, California, the company builds a portfolio of hardware detection products — FlexMag3 wireless in-pavement magnetic sensors with 10-year battery life, RTMS Echo side-fire FMCW radar for up to 12-lane coverage, FlexRadar micro-radar for parking and bicycle detection, and the FlexControl/FlexAP/FlexRepeat communication infrastructure — paired with the SensTraffic software suite (SensFlow, SensMetrics, SensTurn, SensID, SensBike, SensDiag modules), the TrafficDOT configuration platform, and the Citilog AI-powered automatic incident detection system deployed across 60,000+ cameras worldwide. Its newest offering, MultiSens Intersection, fuses deep-learning video AI with wireless sensors into a unified sensor-fusion platform for multimodal vehicle and vulnerable-road-user detection.

The company generates revenue across three streams: hardware sales (sensors, radar, video detection systems, access points, and repeaters), recurring software subscriptions (SensTraffic, SensMetrics, SNAPS, TrafficDOT), and technical services (design assistance, installation support, training). It sells through a direct enterprise field-sales team supplemented by regional channel partners across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America, with integrations through major ITS system integrators such as Econolite and Verizon. Customers are exclusively public-sector transportation authorities — including state DOTs (Colorado, Virginia, Wisconsin), toll authorities (New Jersey Turnpike Authority, ATMB), and international agencies in Melbourne, Perth, Berlin, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi — with deployments across 40 US states and 80+ countries.

Sensys Networks manufactures at BABA-compliant facilities in Oakland, California and Mankato, Minnesota, positioning it to capture US federal infrastructure funding without waivers. The business carries multiple granted patents on wireless sensor architecture, micro-radar, and inductive-loop replacement methods, holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, and has won ITE Transportation Achievement, APWA, and California Safety awards. Documented customer outcomes include 31% crash reduction (Melbourne), 18% fewer injury accidents (UK), and 25% traffic flow increases during peak hours.

Direct peers

• Iteris: Iteris is a direct competitor in advanced traffic detection and management, including the Autoscope video-detection product line and intersection-management systems sold to the same city and state DOT customers that buy Sensys.
• Wavetronix: Wavetronix builds radar-based vehicle detection sensors (SmartSensor) used for ramp metering, signal actuation, and freeway management — the same core use cases Sensys addresses with FlexMag and RTMS Echo.
• Smartmicro: Smartmicro manufactures FMCW traffic radar and multi-lane detection sensors (TRUGRD, UMRR) aimed at the same intersection, freeway, and tolling applications as Sensys's RTMS Echo radar product line.
• Citilog: Citilog is the video-based automatic incident detection sister company inside the TagMaster group, deploying AI on over 60,000 cameras — its product directly overlaps with Sensys's MultiSens Intersection and tunnel/bridge use cases.
• Image Sensing Systems (Autoscope): Image Sensing Systems markets the Autoscope line of video-based vehicle detection products for intersections and highways, competing head-to-head with Sensys's video detection and MultiSens platform for the same transportation-agency procurement budgets.

Emerging players

• NoTraffic: NoTraffic is an AI-driven traffic management platform that uses computer vision and sensor fusion at intersections for adaptive signal control, directly competing with Sensys's MultiSens Intersection offering for the modern intersection upgrade market.

Broad incumbents

• Kapsch TrafficCom: Kapsch TrafficCom is a large European-based ITS incumbent selling tolling, connected vehicle, and traffic management systems to government agencies worldwide, with overlapping detection and intersection-management capabilities.
• Cubic (Cubic Transportation Systems): Cubic Transportation Systems delivers large-scale intelligent transportation systems including traffic management and fare collection — a broader portfolio competitor frequently bidding into the same state and municipal procurements as Sensys.
• Econolite: Econolite is one of the largest US suppliers of traffic controllers and intersection management systems and a long-time integration partner of Sensys — directly comparable as a buyer of detection inputs and a competing system integrator for cities and DOTs.
