LEGACY EZ COMMUNICATOR NAVIGATOR

Note: Production of the EZ Communicator has been discontinued as of March 6, 2019. The iDS/iNS is the new, current production model and offers a significant upgrade to the iNavigator.

Why you should upgrade to the iDS/iNS

The iDS/iNS is our latest  and current model of APS, and represents a significant upgrade to the EZ Navigator series. The iDS comes with a built-in radar unit for touchless activation, while both the iDS and iNS feature secure wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 5 for greater speed, range, and app capabilities. Both are compatible with PedApp, Polara’s pedestrian mobility app that allows users to access audible crossing information and remotely activate signals from their smartphone.
