4469 Houston Radar is celebrating winning the Traffic Management category of Intertraffic Innovation Awards 2016 with its SpeedLane multi-lane side-fire traffic radar.  Key to SpeedLane’s success is its ultra-low power consumption which allows the unit to be deployed anywhere and to be powered by solar panels.

Also included is camera for visual back-up and once installed the unit can start transmitting data to a cloud-based server via the mobile GSM network or hard wiring.
