LRAD - Loud Hailing and Sonic Sound Deterent

Attacks on shipping, though more often around the Indonesian coast and aimed at cargo vessels, have become all too common around the world. Beating off such attacks and deterring assailants is not easy without proper training and the right equipment.

ATC's LRAD has a proven track record in providing effective long range hailing and sonic sound deterrent. Its accurate, long range directional array gives a clear, intelligible hailing, notification and an unmistakeable warning. It is used to communicate from a safe, standoff distance to gain compliance and determine intent and to support any appropriate response.

Until recently, LRAD's have been mainly used for military applications, such as on warships, at military checkpoints and by civil authorities for riot control.

Telmar (UK), the specialist marine communications and navigational electronics company, based in Surrey , now offers LDAR to commercial fleet operators worldwide.

"We are pleased to be offering LRAD to our customers in the commercial maritime industry," said Rodger Perks, MD of Telemar (UK) Ltd. "Today's maritime industry depends on effective communications systems to make ships safer and more efficient. LRAD is a powerful new tool that offers commercial marine vessels a better way to communicate. The integrated safety and security features of the LRAD directed sound equipment is a tremendous enhancement to every commercial vessel's security, safety, and communications. Telemar is extremely pleased to represent ATC in the global distribution and installation of ATC products."

"LRAD is emerging as an important communications device for commercial maritime applications. We're pleased to be working with Telemar in offering LRAD to commercial shipping interests throughout the world." Commented Bruce Gray, vice president of ATC's commercial sales.

ATC pioneered a new category of long-range hailing and communications solutions with LRAD's high intelligible 15-30° directed acoustic beam. LRAD can issue verbal instructions in excess of 500 meters and has the capability of following up with powerful alert tones. Over 450 LRADs are currently deployed worldwide in a variety of government, military and commercial applications, including deployments on-board commercial marine vessels and international cruise lines.
