LRAD-RX(R) Being Installed at Pentagon Main Entrance
Pentagon to Utilize Remotely Operable Acoustic Hailing Device in Security Upgrade
SAN DIEGO, CA, Jul 12, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- LRAD Corporation (LRAD),
the world's leading provider of acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), announced today
that it has received an order for a LRAD-RX installation at the main visitors'
entrance of the Pentagon as part of a security upgrade. The order was received
from SimplexGrinnell, a Tyco International company and a longtime leader in life
safety and property protection.
"Having our LRAD-RX system being installed at a prominent entrance to help secure
the Pentagon is noteworthy," commented Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD
Corporation. "The LRAD-RX will provide Pentagon security officials the ability to
remotely issue warnings and instructions that can unequivocally be heard and
understood in any outdoor environment. By broadcasting highly intelligible voice
commands and powerful warning tones, the LRAD-RX creates standoff and safety
zones that can prevent uncertain situations from escalating into major security
breaches."
Featuring the Company's robust, IP-addressable full pan and tilt drive for
precise aiming and tracking, the directional broadcasts of the LRAD-RX enable
security officers to communicate instructions and warnings with 100%
intelligibility in any language to individuals or large groups.
Brown concluded, "LRAD's inclusion in this security upgrade highlights its
ability to fill a crucial communications gap in the perimeter security of
critical infrastructure."
