The increased revenues from accepting alternate payments were offset by higher purchase prices, higher operating costs and expensive payment transaction fees. As a result, thousands of cities continue to use coin -only meters What's so 'smart' about that? So we took a different approach. For over 80 years, cities have trusted Duncan equipment. From our housings, to our meter mechanisms, to our collection carts, it is common to find cities that have used the same reliable meter equipment for decades. These cities often want and need to upgrade their meters and would like to provide convenient payment options, but don't think they can do so within their budget or without raising meter rates too high. Introducing the Liberty Next Gen (LNG) Smart Meter Our patented and patent pending LNG Smart Meter builds on our proven pedigree and uses recent advances in communications, battery, security and software technologies to design an innovative meter that is flexible and affordable for any city, town or village that has (or is considering) metered parking. Key Features of our Liberty Next Gen smart parking meter include: • Accessibility - designed to be ADA compliant and easily accessible by persons of all heights without the cost and hassle of cutting meter poles (or the legal and political liability of not cutting them). The LNG meter can be configured for multi-lingual operation. • Payment acceptance - accepts credit cards, debit cards, smartcards and coins with magstripe or EMV certified card reader. PCI compliant. • Mobile payments - displays mobile payments on the meter at no charge and without draining the battery which is comforting to motorists, convenient for enforcement and cost-effective for the city (c!:ck here i� see a rnobi!e gjy_menl •7_sn_,v,.r real tir_Fj • Visibility - equipped with a high resolution backlit screen and a new custom anti - fog dome, the LNG meter is user friendly and visible in all weather and lighting conditions. High intensity LEDs on the front and back of the meter are visible from 85 feet and notify city staff if the meter is paid (green), unpaid (red) or requires maintenance (amber). • Communications - communicates via cellular (3G/4G), LoRa, WiFi and Bluetooth.
