The winning combination of Houston Radar's SpeedLane radar and Tetryon cloud server provides a fully integrated, ultra-low power, end-to-end traffic data collection and visualization platform. The system allows cities and communities to access their live traffic data anywhere, anytime, online.

The SpeedLane radar is complemented by Houston Radar’s Tetryon server, a customisable cloud server used to aggregate data from multiple SpeedLanes in one central location. The products are designed to seamlessly integrate out of the box and enable rapid deployment of the user's traffic data on the web.
