LRAD to deliver LRAD 360X warning system for Asian customer

LRAD Corporation has received a contract for the delivery of LRAD 360X for an earthquake and tsunami warning mass notification installation in an Asian port city.

LRAD Corporation president and CEO Tom Brown said in order to ensure that emergency communications are heard and understood over large areas, the LRAD 360X systems offer powerful, omnidirectional siren and multi-language voice broadcasts which can be heard even inside cars and buildings.

"Beyond Asia, we’re pursuing LRAD 360X emergency warning/mass notification business opportunities with cities, regional districts, ports, school and business campuses, and military bases," Brown added.

Field upgradeable for added sound coverage, the LRAD 360X also provides flexible power options including battery backup, generator backup and solar.

The full ruggedized LRAD 360X has been designed to broadcast powerful emergency/warning siren sounds, multi-language messages in a 360° pattern over distances up to 2 miles.

Using the modular LRAD 360X, users will be able to customise the broadcast area footprint for mass notification systems and wildlife protection requirements.

LRAD had delivered its first LRAD 360X to Asian customer in 2012, for field trials as an earthquake and tsunami warning mass notification system.
