InfOspot System offers unprecedented flexibility when compared to higher
powered systems:

utilized.*

| Example of Billboard Use |
 |
InfOspot in New York
City?
CBS Outdoor is proposing InfOspot transmitters on
two different billboards. The one pictured above
(click thumbnail to view) is at the exit to the
Midtown Tunnel, where traffic sits and moves slowly
enough for people in vehicles to tune into what
Prudential Insurance will want to tell them via
radio. |

Transmitter
InfOspot's transmitter is the most
well-known and best designed Part 15 transmitter ever
manufactured; and the results are evident – a full quality
broadcast signal, which is listenable on vehicle radios with
excellent loudness and range. |
Broadcast Options
Available software
allows you to create, edit and store audio files on your
PC or laptop. You may also substitute alternate live or
recorded audio sources of your choice to customize your
InfOspot system. |
Antenna System
InfOspot is the only
system of its kind to allow for separation of the
transmitter and antenna/tuner by way of standard coaxial
cable. This permits the antenna to be mounted in an
optimum location for transmission, while the control
cabinet containing the transmitter and digital message
player remains conveniently located for control and
maintenance. The gravity-mount roof stand with mats and
mast is the most popular antenna mounting option. |
Audio Quality
InfOspot is the first system of
its kind to provide the convenience of program control
across both an Ethernet network and by USB/flash drive.
The InfOspot digital message player operates on
standardized MP3 audio files, and the resulting audio
quality is unmatched. |
