PRIORITYwave Traffic Control System

How it works

The PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System gives responders instant wireless control of intersection signals after they arrive on scene. They can control when and how traffic moves, allowing extra time for pedestrians during events, or keeping traffic moving after an accident.

Simply plug the receiver into the cabinet's manual push-button port — the same port responders already have access to — and you're ready to take command with the handheld remote. No installation. No waiting on traffic department approval. Just a wireless way to use the controls you've always had.

Built with encrypted, long-range communication, the system lets responders manage lights from anywhere they need to be on scene.

How agencies are using it

From everyday operations to major incidents, The PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System is flexible enough to handle any situation. Agencies use it for far more than just crash scenes: they use it anywhere they need hands-on control.

School crossings with HAWK pedestrian signals

The PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System works seamlessly with HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalK) beacons, giving school staff and traffic personnel wireless control of the crossing.

Start the crossing signals from the wireless remote.
Extend the crossing duration as long as needed, you control when crossing ends.
Ideal for school zones and crossing guard operations during arrival and dismissal.
Enhance safety for crossings serving children, older adults, or other vulnerable users.

The PRIORITYwave™ protocol

PRIORITYwave™ is CommandSignal's proprietary wireless communication protocol. It delivers instant command response, secure pairing, and reliable long-range performance even in busy environments.

encrypted

Encrypted & secure

AES-256-GCM encryption — the same standard trusted by the U.S. military, NSA, and government agencies worldwide — combined with rotating authentication keys ensure each command is unique and unrepeatable.

Our system uses robust defenses against known wireless hacking tools like Flipper Zero — ensuring that control stays exactly where it belongs: in your hands.

rss_feed

Long‑range & responsive

Maintains low-latency, rock-solid connections across multi-lane intersections and dense urban environments.

Proven reliable up to half a mile, even with heavy congestion and line-of-sight obstructions.

multiple_stop

Multi-system ready

Each system uses globally unique digital identifiers, so multiple units can operate side-by-side at neighboring intersections without cross-talk or interference.

Every receiver responds only to its paired remote, guaranteeing isolation and operational integrity even in crowded deployments.

done_all

Redundant hardware built in

Inside the receiver, redundant communication hardware ensures your commands are sent to the traffic cabinet safely and reliably.

If one component in the receiver were to ever stop working, the backup hardware kicks in and ensures your command still gets through.

Engineered for safe, compliant operation

Every PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System is built with safety and compliance at its core. Designed not only to perform — but to do so safely, predictably, and by the book.

check_circleUL-Recognized Manufacturer: Our circuit boards are produced through a UL-recognized manufacturer using approved FR-4 substrate. This recognition confirms adherence to UL 796 standards for flammability, insulation, and material performance. We ensure every board meets the documentation and traceability requirements needed for agency safety reviews and compliance filings.
check_circleLow-Voltage Operation: Classified as an Extremely Low Voltage (ELV) device, operating safely at just 5V DC.
check_circleFCC, IC & CE-Certified Radio Modules: The system incorporates high quality wireless transceiver modules, which hold an active FCC ID under Part 15.249 for the 915 MHz ISM band. This ensures the module meets U.S. regulatory requirements for emissions and radiated power. Documentation is available upon request.
check_circleElectrical Protection: Dual inline fuses and transient voltage suppression safeguard both the cabinet and the device. The internal relays provide full electrical isolation between the cabinet's logic and the receiver electronics, preventing voltage injection into expensive traffic control equipment.
check_circleDocumentation & Verification: Full documentation is available for agency reviews, permitting, and audit requirements.
