Key alliance formed to bring best-of-breed DMS technology to ITS market.
Exclusive licensing agreement between Adaptive and Vultron unites leading-edge LED display technology with unmatched over-the highway sign enclosure expertise.
Milwaukee, WI, February 25, 2005 . . . Adaptive Micro Systems LLC, a leader in innovative LED display technologies, today announces an exclusive licensing agreement with a pioneer in Intelligent Transportation Systems – Vultron. Under this arrangement, the strengths and experience of two respected technology providers come together to accelerate ITS innovation.
“ITS is an essential component of our ability to manage ever-increasing traffic flow,” notes Larry Rivera, Florida Department of Transportation, District 5. “However, ITS technology is at a pivotal stage in its development. Flip-disk technology is history. LED displays are where it’s at now. This is why the agreement between Adaptive and Vultron is so encouraging from our perspective. Traditionally, the ITS market has been slow to advance. By marrying the technological leadership of Adaptive with the legacy of industry service that Vultron represents, the future of the ITS market never looked more promising.”
Display and NTCIP expertise
Adaptive has been serving the transportation industry for more than 20 years. An offering that began with LED displays for air, rail and bus transit has expanded to include state-of-the-art NTCIP-compliant display and control solutions for arterial and over-the-highway variable messaging systems. In fact, Adaptive has been supplying Vultron with LED products since 1998. Now, a closer collaborative effort will help further drive innovation.
Time-tested cabinets
“With cabinets representing roughly one-third the cost of a DMS, their design is a significant part of the total ITS equation,” says Vultron President, Rick Solon. “Through Vultron, Adaptive offers customers a core cabinet competency that’s evolved over more than 20 years. From the gauge of metal and powder-coat paint scheme, to innovative extended-life cooling systems, these enclosures are designed and manufactured with a quarter-century of reliability in mind.”
Vision for the future being realized
To see the power of integrating leading-edge display technology with enclosure longevity, you need look no further than Adaptive’s backyard. Wisconsin DOT Transportation District 2 is using the Adaptive AlphaXpress™ LED replacement module to retrofit existing enclosures. “We’re getting state-of-the-art LED technology and NTCIP compatibility, while leveraging our existing enclosure investment,” notes Don Schell, Systems Engineer for
District 2. “When you consider how rapidly the display technology is evolving, you really want to go with an enclosure that you can count on to survive two, or maybe even three, generations of display technology.”
“By cross pollinating the intellectual properties of both Adaptive and Vultron, we are in a truly unique position to offer ITS customers the best of both worlds,” concludes Ron Levac, Vice President of Adaptive transportation sales. “Because our combined expertise meets or exceeds any state’s experience requirements, every ITS customer in the country can take advantage of our leading-edge capabilities.”
