For even greater convenience and peace of mind, it is highly recommended to reserve a sign with us a month or more prior to your planned usage.
Does a VMS sign require to be plugged into power?
No – Our VMS units are all equipped with high-rated solar panels and backup batteries to keep your messages displayed 24/7 using 100% renewable solar energy. However, if there is no access to sunlight (such as being undercover or in extremely shady areas), there is the option to plug them into a power source.
