Since its incorporation in the 1990s, Nexus Alpha and its sister company, Nexus Alpha Low Power Systems
(who produce inclusive, low power public information displays), have focused on providing systems and services that encourage and support the use of sustainable public transport.
As CO2 emissions continue to rise, bringing with them climate instability and rising temperatures, net zero remains a focus – though perhaps not as much as it really should be. The term ‘net zero’ means achieving a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere and the carbon removed from it. This balance – or net zero – will happen when the amount of carbon we add to the atmosphere is no more than the amount removed.
Technology can help.
Nexus Alpha LPS’s CHRONOS displays show the same departure information that a traditional LED sign can display – or indeed the same service information that a LCD TFT TV-style can display – it’s just that they use a fraction of the power of the competing technologies. So little power in fact, that they can work from locally generated power derived from solar panels, with in-built batteries ensuring consistent operation, even when there is less power available (shorter days in the winter and at night-time). We believe that our signage can help councils and the UK rail industry move toward net-zero faster.
