ITS6000 Highway Advisory Radio System

For 21st Century Intelligent Transportation System Applications

ITS6000 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 HAR Stations are designed to make broadcast content match current conditions to maximize utility to motorists.

Conventional Highway Advisory Radio design, kicked up a notch, ITS6000 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. Computer audio control is an option.

Standard Features

	Non-volatile dynamic message storage.
	Remote control.
	Independent recording, monitoring and erasing of recordings.
	Four-day battery backup operation if AC power is lost.
	The NX8R Digital Message Player offers 3 hours of recordings, 1,000 high quality messages in 50 playlists and all-hazards alerts from the National Weather Service targeted to the area served through Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.).
	Rack-style signal cabinet for high security and multiple option flexibility.

Options

	Workstation Audio Control allows convenient screen-based drag-and-drop control of broadcast messages from a single computer workstation. In an emergency, if power is lost, the workstation's uninterruptible power supply allows critical messages to keep flowing while your generator begins operation. Where no generator is present, ITS6000 continues to operate via telephone.
	The Vertical Profile Antenna System requires no buried groundplanes or groundrods. Only one square foot of ground is needed for installation. The system comes with an aluminum antenna support pole that has internal wiring to discourage vandalism.
	GPS Frequency Stabilization minimizes interference among satellite stations.
	Power Loss Notification Module informs technicians that AC power has been lost at the HAR location.
	Services (see drop-down menu at top of webpage) include FCC licensing and studies, turnkey installation, staff training and system certification.
