In the 21st century, the issues of equal access to information and freedom of mobility is at the forefront of everyone's needs and desires. Polara's Navigator APS provides all pedestrians with equal access to information at signalized intersections. The Navigator is a highly reliable, vandal resistant Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) that provides a vibro-tactile ADA compliant 2" push button with a raised directional arrow and audible sounds during all pedestrian phases.

Polara has been a leader for over 40 years in electronic product design and manufacturing. With its technology and resources, Polara has developed the most advanced and most reliable pedestrian push button on the market today, in short, because a highly reliable, long life ADA style button was not available to use on our own line of Accessible Pedestrian Signals. Market research found cities were looking for a 2" style ADA compliant button that was not susceptible to moisture, had a much longer life than typical microswitches, and was not susceptible to vandalism. To address these needs, Polara's engineers designed and developed two lines of push buttons. Both use a solid state piezo switch that is protected against moisture, has a rated life in the tens of millions of activations (100 million minimum), is extremely reliable, and cannot be made to stick on (put in a constant call).
