Carmanah Introduces Solar-Powered Roadway Flasher Featuring ENCOM Wireless Control Technology
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) VICTORIA, BC, December 10 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH)
today introduced a wireless solar-powered flashing beacon suitable for a
range of ITS (intelligent traffic systems) roadway applications. The R838
wireless ITS solar flasher incorporates all components -- including solar
modules, LEDs (light emitting diodes), and wireless activation technology
-- within a compact and durable stand-alone device.
Thanks to a partnership between Carmanah and ENCOM Wireless Data Solutions
Inc., the R838 wireless ITS solar flasher is equipped with industry-proven
ENCOM communications technology for versatile, on-demand remote activation.
Using the ENCOM handheld controller, multiple beacons can be activated from
up to 500 feet away with the push of a button. As a wireless, stand-alone
warning flasher, the R838 offers a versatile and cost-effective way for
emergency services and traffic agencies to provide advance warning of road
conditions ahead, such as road construction (beyond highway on or
off-ramps), emergency-vehicle crossings along fire station routes,
approaches to weigh scales and more.
Operating independently of the electric grid, the Carmanah R838 wireless
ITS solar flasher provides a reliable signal alternative suitable for
remote locations, or anywhere grid access is not readily available. With no
need for trenching, cabling or wiring, this stand-alone device installs
quickly and easily onto new or existing signposts for fast, economical
installations and minimal disruption to traffic. Optionally, each R838 unit
can be programmed to specify how long to flash before shutting off
automatically. Two-way communications provide visual LED confirmation that
one or more signals (up to eight) are currently active at the remote site.
Industry proven to operate reliably in some of the world's harshest
climates, Carmanah's solar flashing beacon paired with ENCOM wireless
control technology offers an unbeatable alternative for intelligent
transportation systems. The wireless R838 wireless ITS solar flasher is
available now from Carmanah. For more information, visit www.carmanah.com.
