Carmanah Technologies Corporation: pedestrian crossing beacons
The Model R820 Pedestrian Beacon is a fully self-contained, solar-powered LED crosswalk signal. The key advantages include wireless installation in as little as 30 minutes, minimal capital cost, zero operational cost, a "green" power source, and immunity to electrical blackouts.
Echelon LonWorks control networking platform is a 100% open-architecture protocol adopted worldwide.
Lonworks is not just for HVAC applications – it enables all our systems to handshake, i.e. fire safety, security management, keyless access, lighting, Geographic Information System and so forth, opening up the hitherto proprietary marketplace to do business. If, in a few years time a more advanced fire safety command center than the one we buy today is developed, with features that we need, we can incorporate it without ripping out our existing system and starting over.
It is sustainable and will remain the protocol of choice long after you and I have left this planet. In fact, when San Diego International expanded the airport recently the only way they could get everything to work was by adopting Lonworks. In the same vein when Camp Pendleton upgraded their systems a few years ago they used Lonorks to integrate 800 buildings sprawled of 250 square miles
