PRIORITYwave Traffic Control System

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 push-button port, hang it on the door (or keep it in the included case during bad weather), and you're ready to take command with the handheld remote. No complex wiring. No need to stay by the cabinet. No learning curve.

Designed for safety, speed, and reliability, the system lets responders manage lights from anywhere they need to be. Built with encrypted, long-range communication, it performs flawlessly in any environment.

Why it matters

Every responder has experienced that moment — standing in an intersection, signaling cars to stop while a bright green light above them tells drivers to go. It's a life-threatening gamble that relies on the hope that every driver is paying attention. And we know they're not.

The PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System eliminates that risk. With the press of a button, responders can make the signals match their command. No mixed-signals. No guessing for motorists. Just clear, unambiguous direction — making the scene safer for everyone.

The PRIORITYwave™ protocol

PRIORITYwave™ is CommandSignal's proprietary wireless communication protocol, purpose-built for mission-critical traffic control. It delivers instant command response, secure pairing, and reliable long-range performance even in busy environments. Designed from the ground up for first responders, PRIORITYwave™ ensures every signal gets through — quickly, securely, and without interference.

encrypted

Encrypted & secure

Military-grade encryption and rotating authentication keys ensure each command is unique and unrepeatable.

Communication between the paired remote and receiver is secure, interference-free, and immune to replay or spoofing attempts.

rss_feed

Long‑range & responsive

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

Proven reliable beyond half a mile, even under heavy RF 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.

Plug‑and‑play, no infrastructure modifications needed

Plug and Play Installation

There's no need for special wiring or system upgrades — The PRIORITYwave™ Traffic Control System is designed to work with the standard manual control port already found in most traffic signal cabinets across the country. If your cabinet has a manual push-button port and a manual mode switch, you're good to go!

The system is compatible not only with standard vehicle traffic signals, but can also be used with HAWK pedestrian beacons — giving crossing guards or school safety personnel added control when managing large crowds or special events.

For traffic engineers, we provide a technical overview sheet to ensure full compatibility with your existing infrastructure.

Engineered for safe, compliant operation

Every PRIORITYwave™ 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 and stack-up configurations. 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: We incorporate 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, enabling legal field deployment and insurer/agency compliance review. Documentation of test reports is available upon request.
  • check_circleElectrical Protection: Dual inline fast-blow fuses and transient voltage suppression safeguard both the cabinet and the device. The relay provides full electrical isolation between the cabinet's logic and the receiver electronics, preventing cross-circuit interference or voltage injection into expensive traffic control equipment.
  • check_circleDocumentation & Verification: Full documentation is available for agency reviews, permitting, and audit requirements.
