ITS6000 Highway Advisory Radio

ITS6000 Series Highway Advisory Radio Stations from ISS provide new and efficient ways to integrate real-time radio into an ITS project. Radio is as relevant as its content is current. ITS6000 Series HAR Stations are designed to make broadcast content match current conditions to maximize utility to motorists. There are two new ITS6000 Series HAR Stations from which to choose.

Version 6010
Telephone Control by DTMF/Voice

Conventional Highway Advisory Radio design, kicked up a notch, Version 6010 offers operators the ability to record 3 hours
 of recordings, 1,000 high quality messages in 50 playlists
and, if desired, automatic “all-hazards” alerts from the National Weather Service, targeted to the area served (e.g., hurricane updates and Amber alerts). Two-way redundant control, standard with each station, uses push-to-talk style transceivers (transceivers not included) and the same, familiar broadcasting protocols and voice prompts as regular phones.
Version 6020
IP-Based Control

Manage Highway Advisory Radio Stations on a wired, fiber optic or modem-based network. SignalcastIP™ software provides text-to-speech and message-scheduling capability from a single or networked workstation or via XML from a traffic management system. Flashing advisory sign beacons in the field are controlled from the same platform.
