Improve Reliability and Functionality with the Advanced Transportation Controller Cabinet

Why should the ATC Cabinet be part of your future plans? It offers significant improvements to conventional cabinets in modularity and compact size, motorist safety, technician safety and diagnostics. It is intended to update or replace all cabinet types: NEMA TS-1, NEMA TS-2, Caltrans 33x, and ITS Cabinet v1. The ATC Cabinet offers the best of both worlds – it combines existing standards with the latest technological advancements to increase cabinet reliability, functionality, and ease of maintenance. For agencies wishing to upgrade their systems to the ATC Cabinet, please contact Eberle Design, Inc. Sales Manager Jon Muilenberg at jmuilenberg@editraffic.com.
