Prakash Patel Project Manager My main stream of work is centered around managing projects at Nexus Alpha, however, I still have an involvement in maintaining the original internet applications and the 'Generic XML' application which drives the current generation of internet solutions. Outside work, I have a strong interest in Quality within organisations, enjoy most sports and spending time with my family.

Background

Nexus Alpha has been providing display systems to the transport sector for over a decade during which time the company’s unique approach to the design of such hardware has created systems that are both reliable and long lived in the harshest of environments.

Nexus Alpha’s expertise lies in the unusual combination of skills within the company: class leading software allied with innovative hardware.

Our systems have been in operation for over a decade and most of those installed are still in use today – a testament to the design and construction quality.

Beginning with CRT displays in GRP cases, which were unusual for the inclusion of full environmental management, Nexus Alpha has continued development over the years with the addition of natural speech audio that is capable of rendering not just timetable data, but an extensive range of disruption messages sourced from Tyrell systems.

Since then we have deployed the very tough all stainless LCD1 systems, built around ultra high bright LCD displays – the brightest and clearest available. Latterly some of these units have been upgraded with REACT compliant speech systems whilst elsewhere they have been migrated from timetable data sources to Real Time data feeds.

Now we are developing an entire new range: our new systems are the result of considerable investment, designed to continue the best traditions of our previous models whilst making a substantial leap forward in technology, flexibility and capability. Our new systems are re-designed from scratch to meet the expectations of clients who now demand exceptional functionality and reliable performance (with easy access to system performance data) even under extreme duress - and all at a sustainable cost.

And with the increased interest in renewable power, Nexus Alpha systems are going to be delivering ultra-low power solutions to give always available, always visible, Real Time information.

Details of some of our new hardware are now available on this site – and will be added to as new elements of the hardware become available for deployment.
