SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM
The revolutionary Safety Warning System (SWS) has won for-
mal approval from the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) to operate on the 24.05–24.25 GHz band for highway
safety alerting and traffic signal control purposes.
The Safety Warning System employs low-powered transmitters
used by some emergency services and road crews to alert driv-
ers to hazardous road conditions. The SWS can indicate many
different emergency or hazardous conditions in the area (61 dif-
ferent messages are currently defined, with 3 additional
messages for future use).
The system has the potential to dramatically decrease the oc-
currence of traffic accidents by increasing a driver’s awareness
of local road hazards. Having this safety alert compatible radar/
laser detector will ensure that you can benefit from this system
wherever it is in use.
