ISS Announces Next Generation Portable
'Generator'
September 2011 - ISS introduces
PowerSTAT Portable Power Source, which
provides pure AC power for information radio
stations...and anything of similar wattage
that runs on 120 volts. Designed with a
large battery pack and a high capacity
charger/inverter, recharge time is just
hours. PowerSTAT can perform tasks a
generator cannot. It can operate in-line to
instantly provide backup to mission-critical
equipment should grid power go down. Its
output is a pure sine wave, so it can power
even sensitive electronic equipment with
virtually no electrical noise. It is
weather-resistant for outdoor applications,
but because there is no exhaust, it can
operate indoors, too, Because PowerSTAT
never requires fuel, it is inexpensive to
operate and ideal for situations when fuel
is in short supply. And unlike a generator,
it always starts. Check it
out.

Workstation Audio Control (WAC) Advances
August 2011 - Version 2.1 of ISS' Workstation Audio
Control option includes many new features.
And existing ALERT AM and Information
Stations can easily be upgraded. WAC
functions as an audio source, allowing
on-screen control of high quality broadcast
messages from a single workstation or across
a network. Natural audio recordings,
text-to-speech generation, broadcast audio
processing, visual audio editing, scheduled
playlist changes, event logging and more are
possible.
Visit the WAC product page.

'CAP' Protocol Changes Do Not Affect NOAA
Receiver Function
CAP regulations have been
mandated by the FCC to be backward compliant
with existing standard receivers TV and
radio stations use for EAS (Emergency Alert
System) notifications. NOAA weather radio
receivers, therefore, will work quite well
after the change – including Specific Area
Message Encoding circuitry. And the watches
and warnings NOAA sends will be in the same
(current) format.

L.O.S.T. Eighth Graders Design Evacuation
Route Signs for Mount Rainier Lahars
In Federal Way,
WA, an eighth grade class
takes on a “Lights On Signs Technology”
project in which they suggest (and ISS
produces) signs to help the community with
evacuations in the event of lahars
(tsunami-like mud slides).

US Customs and Border Protection Agency
Deploys Information Radio at Mexican Border.
CBP has launched two ISS information radio
stations to advise US-bound motorists of
traffic conditions and other helpful entry
information. This pilot project, first
implemented in El Paso and Laredo, Texas, in
late 2011, is intended to be expanded to
other points of entry if successful.
See February 2012 CBP news release.

McGuire Air Force Base Becomes First
Military Base to Utilize Twin High
Efficiency Antenna Systems (along with
Fort Dix and Lakehurst Naval Bases in New
Jersey). These two synched antenna systems
provide information radio service across
three facilities. Employed in conjunction
with five Flashing ALERT Signs (pictured
below) that will be triggered when urgent
messages are playing, signal coverage is
much enhanced beyond that
provided by the single standard efficiency
antenna system that originally just covered
McGuire Air Force Base itself.
