Acrospire is proud to announce the launch of a new, twin-amber hazard warning light, an IoT-enabled solution designed to improve safety around school environments.
As children across the UK return to school, research* from road safety charity, Brake, indicates that as many as 64% of schools do not have 20mph speed limits on all roads nearby, leaving many parents too afraid to walk their children to school because of busy, fast-moving traffic.
In response, Acrospire launched the aGlow Road Safety Light – an IoT hazard warning light designed to meet TSRGD standards. Reducing speeds around schools is critical as crashes at 30mph have proven to be more deadly than at 20mph. The amber lights serve as a reminder for drivers to slow down and remain alert.
The aGlow Road Safety Light is engineered with a vandal-resistant design and features a slim profile housing two 48-LED clusters. The device’s construction includes a 5mm black ABS body and a 4mm UV-stabilised lens, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to environmental damage.
Other features include an accurate Real-Time Clock (RTC) and advanced calendar and CRON scheduling, offer control over lighting schedules. It incorporates secure two-factor user authentication and authorisation, as well as supporting various control methods including key-operated activation via Bluetooth app and the SimpleSwitch Wand option.
The lighting solution includes IoT connectivity, as it enables real-time fault monitoring, event logging and smart control through MQTT, REST and SMS integration.
The device supports multiple communication protocols, including NFC, Bluetooth, 4/5G LTE, and NB-IoT, to ensure seamless connectivity for monitoring and management. It also features GPS/GLONASS/QZSS/Galileo/L1 location services and is equipped with a high-performance antenna that supports various IoT standards.
