R829-MX

Slow traffic and increase safety in school zones with actionable alerts and 3 years’ FREE connectivity

Carmanah’s school zone beacons are a proven and reliable school zone safety countermeasure, installed in hundreds of school zones across North America. With Carmanah’s latest MX Series, agencies can easily manage their system settings and schedules locally and remotely with the included MX Field App^™ and MX Cloud^™. Every system ships with 3 years of free remote connectivity.

Free out-of-the-box connectivity

R829-MX beacons have connectivity embedded at the factory, making installation easy. As soon as a system receives power, it connects and begins reporting both locally to the MX Field App^™ and remotely to our cloud-based web application MX Cloud^™.

Timely and actionable alerts

Cities with MX beacons don’t have to rely on the public to report downed systems. With MX, they can enable email and text alerts on their systems, so they can know the minute there’s a change to a system’s status, so they can quickly address the issue, thereby limiting downtime and improving safety.

Remote scheduling

Agencies with R829-MX beacons on the MX Pro subscription can take advantage of remote scheduling to create, adjust, and delete schedules—including in bulk—via MX Cloud^™. Need to make a last-minute change? All it takes is a few clicks, whether it’s to one system or 100.

Three reasons to choose an MX Series school zone beacon or sign:

1. It’s the most affordable school zone beacon with remote scheduling on the market
2. The MX Field App^™ is free forever and provides convenient local access to system settings
3. Modular design makes for a quick installation and better, more specific system data
