Founded in 1983, Information Station Specialists is the nation's sole domestically owned source for Information Radio Station and Advisory Sign systems that allow public agencies to broadcast safety and service messages to motorists.
       
 
  1. Add the Quality & Convenience of Messages Managed by Computer

Replace your station's audio system with the affordable USB-MP3 Digital Message Player. This new solution for Travelers Information Stations allows you to create and edit audio files on a Windows-based PC. Transfer them to your station for airplay/repetition via USB flash drives. Create/edit hundreds of high quality messages in your PC-based library. Broadcast only those you wish. This player allows longer messages, which can be helpful for interpretation. Consider optional audio-editing software and an optional PC microphone and headset.

See "MP3 Edition" on Information Station webpage.
  1. Produce a Professional Program
How much better can you hold your listeners' attention when your messages are recorded professionally? This affordable service brings a professional sound to your station's standard messages and is free to AAIRO members.

  1. Notify Instantly

When the situation becomes critical, turn on Flashing ALERT Signs in the coverage area of your station to notify motorists to tune to the frequency to become informed.

  1. Step Up to NX8R, the Next Generation in Phone-Controlled Broadcast Programming
The new NX8R is a telephone-controlled digital message player that works on the same principal as the legacy AP55 Player but with a quantum leap forward in . . .
Capacity: 80 minutes of recording time and up to 1,000 messages. (The most legacy players had was 14 minutes and 250 messages.)
Stability: Flash memory means all programming is safe from power loss.
Quality: A 16-bit recording rate makes messages sound better.
Flexibility: NX8R handles multiple live feeds from sources such as PCs.
Automatic
Station ID:
The station identification plays automatically every half-hour as required by the FCC.
Redundancy:

If you lose your telephone lines in an emergency, the NX8R Digital Message Player offers a two-way redundancy option that allows total control across a two-way radio channel using the same call-in protocols.

  1. Keep a Component Spares Kit "at the Ready"
Have spare components "at the ready" in case they are needed. The Component Spares Kit typically includes one each: transmitter, antenna, RF arrestor, telephone line arrestor, power surge arrestor and wattmeter. The kit may be customized to match your precise equipment package and your desired spares quantity.
