Metromatics announce release of their MetroSpec Low Power Display (LPD) Totem for Bus/Tram/Ferry Stop Applications



Metromatics are proud to announce the release of the MetroSpec LPD Totem.  A new world class technology which is a green friendly solution for providing up to date passenger information to commuters at bus, ferry and tram stops.

One of the most outstanding features of the low powered display (LPD) is that it is a bi-stable technology which allows it to reflect light in dim conditions and brighten when in direct sunlight.  It is capable of holding the image indefinitely without drawing electricity or power which lengthens the life of the battery.

The MetroSpec LPD Totem can have static messages sent to it every 20-30 seconds via wireless LAN / USB / or Bluetooth display technology from a centralised remote source, allowing information to be published on display advising commuters of updates to the timetable, service disruptions messages and delays.

The LPD is a modular piece and addition to bus totems.  It has its own protective case and can withstand the elements and vandalism with the option of shatter proof and high impact protection.

Features of the MetroSpec LPD Totem include:

·         Ultra Low Power

·         Sleek, Light Weight Design

·         Readable in direct sunlight and dim lighting conditions

·         Green Friendly providing a CO2 reduction

·         USB/Wireless LA/ Bluetooth capabilities

·         Solar Panel Compatible

A true Slimline Platform Passenger Information Display


We recently exhibited at the world’s largest rail transport show in Berlin called Innotrans which is held every two years.  This is where the world’s manufacturers of anything rail related exhibit their latest innovations for the industry.
Metromatics displayed their latest MetroSpec Slimline Platform Passenger Information Display – this display is double sided and uses two ½ height panels (one each side) to provide a sleek rectangular looking LCD display which provides passenger information time tables and customer service information. 

Customers were impressed with the high bright appearance of the display and the fact that it was IP65 rated which results in less maintenance.  The capability of the MetroSpec Passenger Information Display to operate in a high temperature range without the requirement for air conditioning or heat exchangers was also well regarded.
 One customer referred to it as a “true slimline platform passenger information display” designed to operate on any rail platform.
