Supporting smart work zones with the ability to change messages on boards in real- time, 8437 Solar Technology's (SolarTech) boards – both Message and Arrow boards – now feature builtin GPS and modems. Cellular service is included at no additional charge.

Free SolarTech Command Center software allows users to locate boards, change messages remotely and record what was on each board and when.

SolarComm Universal modems accommodate boards from multiple manufacturers. Safer than IPaddressed modems, SolarComm Universal allows users to talk to any NTCIP-compatible board through a secure private network. It also has options for secure data transmission utilising VPNs, APNs or encryption.
