Penta displays are easily customizable in color, font and format to meet the needs of your transit authority. The WavWriter has priority emergency messaging and can be scaled to support large and small systems.

Passenger Information Displays

Penta's Passenger Information Display interfaces are ADA Compliant and customize designs are based on your transit authority specifications and requirements. The visual display templates are designed to provide accurate, easy to understand information and notify users about any system updates. The Passenger Information Displays are completely web-based, allowing the use of media players and browsers at remote stations and terminals. The use of standard web pages and networking provides compatibility with standard tools, hardware, and maintenance. Each location’s authorized users can completely manage and supervise remote sites with real-time updating of content, information, schedule, and emergency messaging. Content is accessed using SQL database queries and triggers, making the Penta WavWriter digital signage compatible with virtually all standards-based asset tracking and asset management systems. Easy to use web creation and field editing software is designed to be extremely flexible for the creation of custom pages and displays.

Arrival and Departure Boards

The screens can display the name or logo of the station, the destination or any intermediate points, the expected arrival and departure of the trains in real time, gate numbers, the check in counter numbers and the status of the train.

WavWriter Toolbar

The Penta Toolbar is a graphical dock used to launch functions related to the operation of the control console. It can be docked on any side of the desktop screen and will be saved for subsequent launches.
