Performance-Related Exclusives

Support
ISS supports every system it offers for the life of the product and still provides no-cost support for products installed in the 1980s, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Stability
In today's world, stability is important. Information Station Specialists has been under the same company name and management throughout its history and has been at the same contact address and telephone number continuously for more than 20 years.

Experience
ISS personnel average more than 14 years of experience per person in the provision of information radio systems.

Speed
ISS is fast. After 9/11, one city near New York licensed, purchased and installed a complete Emergency Advisory Radio System from ISS in fewer than 15 days. ISS can provide licensing and equipment for emergencies within hours.

Universal
ISS systems and components are not proprietary but based on conventional, open-market designs, wiring and mounting. This makes future upgrades and service simple.

Specialization
ISS tailors products to many applications: emergency management, parks/recreation, transportation, tourism and offer licensed products for all. Offerings include not only radio but also signs to announce it.

Temporary Solutions
ISS provides an exclusive rental service -- Radio Express -- for fairs, festivals, sporting events and conventions to broadcast parking, direction and event schedules.

True Turnkey
ISS provides a true "turnkey" solution. Installation quotes, unless otherwise noted, are priced with all hardware (including support poles) and services (including installation of electrical and telephone services). ISS does not ask the buyer to provide his/her own antenna poles and electrical and telephone installation work. ISS does not ask the client to prepare the transmitter sites. We do these things as part of our standard turnkey package.

Flexible Antenna Installation
ISS licensed radio systems provide a complete, inexpensive and flexible antenna system. ISS offers several antenna/groundplane styles, which do not require 100-foot-radius grounding wires or ground rods that emit chemicals into the soil. This allows simple, safe antenna installation yards adjacent to buildings and at locations where no buildings are available.

Advanced Transmitters
ISS' 10-watt transmitter is unique. It is the only transmitter of its kind that features synthesized operation, so changes in frequency don't require surgery

Advanced Audio
ISS' most popular radio systems include the NX8R Digital Message Player, which is the apex of quality, flexibility and capacity. The NX8R allows for complete program control, affording the operator local or remote operation, 1,000 messages, high quality recording, external feed integration, automatic station identification and many more features -- all supported by nonvolatile memory.

Emergency Management Orientation
When used for emergency management applications, ISS products shine. Only ISS' ALERT AM and RoadRunnR emergency advisory radio systems offer a NOAA "all-hazard" alert receivers that react to all Emergency Alert System (EAS) codes and can be programmed to target alerts for up to 5 counties, automatically interrupting broadcasts with critical localized information for listeners. The receiver is the only one on the market that may be field programmed to be updated with the latest EAS codes and new protocols. Additionally, these products come stocked with prerecorded messages, tailored to local emergency management.

Unique Fixed and Portable Signs and Flash Controllers
ISS offers affordable signage products to help announce your radio signal to motorists, featuring exclusive embedded LEDs to grab attention, when situations are urgent. 

Creativity in Portability
ISS created the first portable advisory radio system for Caltrans back in the 1980s, and portable systems are our claim to fame today. We offer custom portable systems for utility trailers and vans as well as for mobile command centers.
