LASER ATLANTA INTRODUCES SpeedLaser®
S MODEL
SMALLER, LIGHTER SpeedLaser® SPEED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
SpeedLaser® S Designed to Improve
Efficiency of Law Enforcement by
Reducing Size and Weight of LIDAR Speed Detection Devices
ATLANTA, Ga., (October 13, 2003) – Laser Atlanta,
a leading laser optics technology developer and provider
of measuring systems for professionals, today introduced
the newest form factor of the popular SpeedLaser® speed measurement
system. The S unit provides SpeedLaser® performance and technology
assembled into a smaller, lighter weight unit.
The SpeedLaser® product line provides law enforcement a
highly accurate solution to measure the traveling speed
of vehicles. SpeedLaser® technology has proven in independent
testing that it offers superior characteristics that are
critical for traffic enforcement.
Proven Longer Distances
Police are able to perform traffic stops more safely because
of the SpeedLaser®’s test-proven ability to accurately
record the speed of an approaching or receding vehicle at
3/8 mile away. The officer has the time to safely enter
traffic and pull over a speeding motorist.
Proven More Reliable
Tests show that Laser Atlanta’s SpeedLaser® remains
undetected by most laser detectors and is also able to capture
vehicle speeds when confronted by most laser jammers. The
SpeedLaser® also has the most advanced inclement weather
feature. The Stealth Mode anti-jamming and inclement weather
features of the SpeedLaser® improve law enforcement’s
ability to target and measure offending motorists.
“We have learned through market research that law
enforcement personnel prefer the performance and rich feature
set of our SpeedLaser®,” said James Kelly, President
and CEO of Laser Atlanta, “while maintaining its superior
performance, the smaller, lighter SpeedLaser® S model is
an even better fit in the tight confines of patrol cars
and the cargo areas of motorcycles.”
SpeedLaser® S Features
The SpeedLaser® S model is designed to better fit into motorcycle
saddlebags and offers a compact size benefiting any traffic
monitoring officer. The body measures w3.8 x h7.3 x d6.4
inches (w9.6 x h18.5 x d16.2 cm) and when you attach the
battery handle, weighs just 3.9 pounds (1.77kg), ideal for
all-day use. English, Spanish, Portuguese and French language
menus are standard and user-selectable. The nickel metal
hydride battery handle runs four to six hours between charges
and the optional Smart charging battery station can recharge
two battery handles in two hours. The unit can also be powered
by plugging into a cigarette lighter plug with the included
12VDC cord.
SpeedLaser® is LIDAR or laser-based as opposed to RADAR,
which provides several advantages including the ability
to target a single vehicle on busy roadways and fast measurement
speeds. With a target size of only 3” at 100 feet
and the ability to take a reading of a targeted vehicle
in just 0.3 seconds, speeding motorists have very little
chance of detecting the SpeedLaser® or slowing down before
a reading is taken.
The SpeedLaser® S system is available immediately. Additional

SpeedLaser® systems are IACP-listed. The SpeedLaser® is one
of the professional laser measurement systems designed and
manufactured by Laser Atlanta. For additional information,
