LRAD Corporation Introduces the LRAD® 360 Mobile Mass Notification System



LRAD announced the launch and first sale of its newly designed mobile mass notification platform. The Mobile Mass Notification System is an integrated, self-contained, ruggedized trailer that uses a telescoping/folding mast to deploy an LRAD 360 to reach a maximum height of 30 feet, which provides highly intelligible voice communications for emergency warning and mass notification with area coverage up to 5.3 kilometers. This system was developed to provide emergency warnings and communications for a number of applications including natural disasters, such as tornados, hurricanes and flooding, and for public announcements at large outdoor events, which is where this first unit has been deployed.

Vultures Safely Deterred from Roosting in Petro-Chemical Plant

Before implementing the use of an LRAD 1000Xi into the wildlife control program, dozens and sometimes over 100 Vultures roosted on the plant structures overnight causing a sanitation problem.

After two weeks of consistently using the LRAD 1000Xi to disperse the Vultures every evening, the Vultures are no longer a problem at the plant.

The LRAD 1000Xi must be used periodically to train newly arriving birds that the Petro-Chemical plant is not a friendly environment for overnight roosting.
