The Antares Incident Messaging System was developed in conjunction with the UK Environment Agency to meet their need for effective communication of environmental hazards to the public, urgently, effectively and using non-frontline personnel.

The system can be deployed in minutes on any standard vehicle without damage. Simply place the “mag-mount” light-bar onto the roof, put the controller onto a passenger seat, plug the power cable into the cigarette socket and you are ready.

Once the message has been selected and the volume level set, the powerful front and rear speakers convey pre-recorded messages repeatedly without distracting the driver.

At any one time, there is a choice of eight messages, or sets of messages available (duration only determined by the size of the compact flash card) allowing the Environment Agency to create multi-lingual message strategies for various incidents such as flooding or air pollution. This approach allows the same message to be broadcast in different languages without operator intervention.

The system can also be offered as a permanent fit and can be integrated into existing fleet vehicles.
