Sound beacon is a navigation device for blind or visually impaired people. The device emits a periodic sound that allows a person with limited vision to locate the object (for example, entrance to the building). These devices can be attached to doorways of buildings, public transport cabin doors, traffic lights, etc. The system is "last meters solution" and works on audible distances ~5..20m.

Blind people (as any other people), use government buildings, shops, cafes, hospitals, postal offices, transport vehicles etc. Sound beacons greatly simplify navigation for them. The beacon makes your location more accessible. While this itself is a good thing to do, this may also be a requirement in many jurisdictions.

Our beacons are silent, until they need by approaching blind user.
No noise = no complaints from surrounding people.

Extra Cloud Integration
The beacon itself operate without Internet connection. But modern smartphones may obtain additional beacon-related information from our radarus.net cloud platform. This information may include detailed location description, map related information, direction to nearby beacons etc.
Smart Off
Our beacon handles the situation when user stays for long time near it for some reason. For example, if user comes into your cafe and sit at the table near the beacon. Our "Smart-Off" feature turns system off for him, but still allow beacon to be reactivated by another user.

Beacon equipped with bi-directional multipurpose 1 wire interface for integration with Smart City solutions. The interface allows integration with external sensors (for example: automatic door operation sensor), control switches (for example: selection of transport route number), or to provide blind user proximity notification to external devices. Integration also may be performed via Bluetooth BLE wireless connection.
Easy Customization
Beacon owner can manage beacon settings via special "Beacon Administrator" smartphone application. The app allows to tune beacon parameters, upload several custom audio files or voice messages (and switch between them).
