McCain, a manufacturer and supplier of intelligent transport solutions in the US, has launched two new traffic controllers, the 2070EN1 NEMA and the 2070EN2 NEMA.

The new controllers are designed in compliance with the most current specifications of two agencies, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES), and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) TS 2 standard.

In order to improve the overall operability, the new controllers have advanced features, including an integrated four-port network switch that supports 10/100MBPS, 32MB of system memory, and 4MB R2 drive for increased processing power, 32Mb datakey capacity and two Ethernet ports.

McCain national sales manager Nathan Welch said that McCain recognises Caltrans and NEMA as national thought leaders in transportation.

"As such, we are pleased to provide customers with a product that effectively combines the best of both worlds," Welch added.

These new units offer the open architecture, modular design, and advanced functionality of the standard Model 2070 controller platform to NEMA TS 1/TS 2 Type 2 and NEMA TS 2 Type 1 applications.

"McCain recognises Caltrans and NEMA as national thought leaders in transportation."

According to McCain, 2070EN1 and 2070EN2 traffic signal controllers are an upgrade of the 2070LN1 and 2070LN2 controllers.

However, the legacy controllers will be supported to meet customer demand, which will allow users to cost-effectively upgrade to a more modern infrastructure without the need to replace cabinet hardware.

Founded in 1987, McCain is a manufacturer of advanced traffic control equipment, intelligent transportation systems, and parking guidance, with several manufacturing facilities in North America.

In September 2012, the company was awarded a one-year contract by the City of Fort Worth in Texas, US, to supply traffic control equipment, including 332 and 336S traffic controller cabinets, as well as 170E traffic signal controllers.
