Solar-powered LED traffic beacons will benefit from remote interface and control capabilities.
Solar-powered LED technology provider Carmanah Technologies Corporation has partnered with ENCOM Wireless Data Solutions Inc. to add a wireless interface capability to its line of stand-alone solar-powered traffic beacons.
Carmanah says this arrangement represents the next step in the evolution of its solar powered LED lighting technology for traffic applications. Encom technology will provide remote interface and control capabilities to add versatility and flexibility to Carmanah's solar-powered flashing beacons.
"A key benefit of a solar-powered beacon is convenience – it's easy to install, generates its own electricity, and operates automatically for years with little or no maintenance," said Richard Chesson, Carmanah VP of Marketing and Business Development, "so how do you make it even better? We believe the answer is wireless interactivity; and who better to provide that capability than ENCOM - an established industry leader in wireless technologies, specializing in the traffic industry.
Joaquin Segl, General Manager of ENCOM said "This partnership follows our strategy to provide unmatched wireless solutions by collaborating with the best companies. People seeking reliable, flexible and robust solar-wireless solutions will benefit greatly from the combined experience and innovative spirit of our two companies."
Carmanah solar-powered traffic beacons are currently used for a range of roadway and intelligent traffic system (ITS) functions across North America. With no need for trenching, cabling or wiring, Carmanah beacons install quickly and easily onto new or existing signposts for fast, economical installations and minimal disruption to traffic. Bright, durable and long lasting, Carmanah flashing beacons can help motorists and pedestrians spot signage and identify hazardous road conditions, day and night, along roads, highways, construction zones, parking areas, school zones and more.
