Externiture and Vix Technology working across the UK
The innovative range of battery-powered displays have been introduced to the UK transport market by Vix Technology working alongside Swedish manufacturer Axentia and bus stop infrastructure specialist Externiture to answer these challenges for local authorities.
The LCD and E-Paper displays are powered solely by lithium batteries with a 3 year guarantee – there is no requirement for the fitting of external power or solar systems that require additional installation, maintenance, and a clear line of sight to the sky.
All components are capable of being recycled, including the batteries. Tough casings are built from recyclable plastics and stainless steel or aluminium.
The displays utilise low energy signals, meaning remote bus stops with poor mobile data coverage could still be equipped with displays due to embedded roaming sims which enable any network. Only very small packets of data are sent back and forth to the displays and does not require the bandwidth of a traditional display.
With no need to install power to the display, the displays are quick to fit and can even be integrated into existing bus stop infrastructure, saving further costs.
You do not even need to use the Vix back office system. The displays support any SIRI feed so can operate independently from existing RTI systems. This makes the displays suitable for smaller councils to purchase independently to improve their local services.
