NEW: Mega-Tech 2.0 Touch-Screen

9/16/2010

At Solar Technology, innovation never takes a break. The Mega-Tech touch-screen controller that established a new standard in 2007 just got even better. Armed with a faster processor, all-new TRAFIX software and loads of new functionality, the Mega-Tech controller is easier than ever to learn, use and program.

Faster is Better

You’ll begin to notice the enhancements the moment you power-up the equipment. Even with the additional power and sophistication of the new TRAFIX 2.0 software, the new controller fully boots from a cold start 30 seconds faster than the old controller. The dramatic speed increase is due to a new, faster processor. You’ll also notice, as you navigate through the menus, that the response time is quicker from screen to screen.

Brighter, Higher Resolution Screen

In bright sunlight you’ll certainly appreciate the new, brighter screen. In addition to being brighter, it offers higher resolution. The additional resolution means the menus are clearer and sharper and more information can be displayed on a single screen. Additionally, font and background colors have been specifically chosen to provide better contrast.

Mega-Tech Comparison from 1.0 to 2.0

Map Function in TRAFIX 2.0

The “Map” function in TRAFIX 2.0 automatically launches Google Maps and places a marker at the sign’s location.

Onboard GPS

Onboard GPS is standard with the Mega-Tech 2.0. GPS tracking is quickly becoming a standard in the industry. In the event of theft, GPS tracking allows you to pinpoint the board’s location and recover the equipment easily. Some competing manufacturers require two modems to be installed to allow real-time communication and GPS tracking. The new Mega-Tech controller requires only a single modem and an antenna to be fully functional.

Menus More Intuitive Than Ever!

Anyone who spends any amount of time online knows that a well-designed website is both intuitive and easy to use. It all comes down to how the user navigates through the menus. The new TRAFIX software has been redesigned from the ground up to be intuitive, fast and easy to understand and navigate. All major functions are accessible from the main screen which means no more navigating through sub menus to access what you need.

Of course, the beauty of the TRAFIX software has always been its flexibility. It can be as simple or sophisticated as you want, depending on your specific needs.

Smartphone Control

Some other manufacturers require the purchase of additional software to enable smartphone control of your message board. With SolarTech all you need is a modem kit. Smartphone control is already built-in.

Backward Compatibility

As always, updates to the TRAFIX software are free, and are available from the Solartech website. Even with all of the sophisticated improvements to the TRAFIX operating system, you can still plug a new controller into an older unit.

It’s plug and play!

No one stays on the leading edge of technology the way Solar Tech does. That’s true today and you can be sure it will still be true years down the road.
