BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
Lightcast Networks announces new models of radar speed boards
designed to slow speeders in construction zones, schools zones, church
zones, neighborhoods, military bases, airport parking lots and even
factories with special forklift safety considerations.

   Lightcast's radar speed monitors may not eliminate speed bumps
altogether, but they do provide a viable alternative. One speed
monitor comes as a compact portable sign on a stand that fits in most
car trunks and weighs only 35 pounds. It can be directly powered or
run on a supplied rechargeable battery. The pole mounted speed board
can be directly wired for power and has a solar panel option.

   Edward Baker, CEO of Lightcast's RadarSpeedSigns.com, explains
that portability and low cost are key in these new markets. "New
market segments can now afford and install these speed control signs
to slow violators and even monitor traffic patterns. The signs have
patented flashing red LEDs displaying a speeder's speed and constant
green LEDs while driving at or under the speed limit. It's very
visible, and statistics show that 80% of speeders will slow down when
they see a radar sign. These speed displays also have an onboard
counter which generates statistics including average speed, highest
speed, number of violators and even traffic counts."

   "Traffic calming devices are nothing new, but when we saw current
$15,000 radar trailers needing a truck to haul them around, we knew
there had to be better ways," explained Mr. Baker. "Neighborhood
associations around the country and even abroad are purchasing these
signs to enhance safety." According to Mr. Baker, with prices in the
$2,200 to $3,200 range the radar speed displays will be seen on many
city, county and state roads and highways as well.

   "We have buyers with some very unique speed and traffic
applications," said Mr. Baker. "Like all our products, we have to
listen to what new needs should be addressed from a customer. However,
with emerging technologies many times consumers do not know why or
what they need until they are educated on multiple facets of a
product. Then their own application surfaces."

   Lightcast Networks, based near Birmingham, Alabama, has both a law
enforcement products division and a church tele-broadcasting division.
