Because it is the first Google Android based traffic controller available. The goal I'm hearing from Intelight is that they are going to make it so you can load an app on a smart phone or tablet and program it wirelessly. You don't necessarily need the games on it, but the functionality to upload and download apps of any kind, even third party stuff, is useful. Using games is a great way to display the multiple uses the controller has.

Think of it this way, load the local intersection controller software, and another app controlling surveillance cameras, and another counting cars or gathering research data...all from one machine

All I have to say is McCain, Siemens, Econolite and Peek better step up their game In the "big 4's" defense, they do have to support years of equipment and software. Intelight is starting with a clean slate

Wouldn't the good people at Homeland Security have something to say about wirelessly reprogramming vital infrastructure systems? Features are nice, but don't they create vulnerabilities?

Just how old is a Gateway Model # W322???

Unless you run the Multisonics 820A OSAM system, then information from the central PC is sent via telephone lines!
