The PosiTrack PCV system is capable of fast read speeds to 41ft/s, and the high data density of the 2-D code square allows continuous reading over distances up to 6 miles.  The unique code band is available in lengths of up to 10 km.  Several Data Matrix code lines on the band also allow the evaluation of the vertical position.
