The BEE III Radar: Proven Reliability, Smarter with GPS

The BEE III Radar has been a trusted partner for law enforcement agencies for years, and for good reason: it delivers accuracy, reliability, and a long service life that few pieces of equipment can match. Even after a decade in the field, many units still perform like new – making it one of the most dependable tools in traffic enforcement.


Reliability Stories From the Field

One Canadian fleet manager described his frustration with an agency policy requiring replacement of all radar equipment every ten years. His complaint? Every BEE III in his fleet was still working perfectly, with almost no service issues. To him, replacing them wasn’t just unnecessary – it was a waste of money.

That story isn’t unique. Officers across North America report the same experience: consistent performance, minimal maintenance, and a radar that simply does its job year after year. When equipment is this dependable, agencies can spend less time worrying about downtime and more time focusing on public safety.


Cost of Ownership Over Time

Agencies often focus on the purchase price of new equipment, but the true cost is measured in long-term service and upkeep. The BEE III continues to stand out because:

  • Units remain fully functional well beyond the 10-year mark.
  • Fewer service calls mean lower maintenance budgets.
  • Agencies avoid costly interruptions from equipment failure.

The result: a lower total cost of ownership compared to systems that require frequent replacement or repair.


The GPS Speed Interface: Reducing Costs Even More

While the BEE III’s core design doesn’t need reinvention, agencies today are also looking for smarter, more efficient installations. That’s where the GPS Speed Interface comes in.

By tying GPS data directly into the BEE III, agencies can:

  • Cut installation costs – fewer components and less wiring reduce labor time.
  • Simplify fleet management – a consistent setup across vehicles makes maintenance easier.
  • Get cars back on the road faster – shorter installs mean less downtime for patrol units.

For agencies with large fleets, these savings add up quickly. And they make the GPS upgrade a practical investment on top of an already reliable radar.


A Proven Radar, Now Smarter

The BEE III continues to earn its reputation as one of the most durable and dependable radar systems available to law enforcement. With the GPS Speed Interface, agencies now have the option to pair proven reliability with modern efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a BEE III radar typically last?
Many agencies report their BEE III units are still working like new after 10 years of use. With proper care, the radar can provide reliable performance far beyond standard replacement schedules.

Why would I add the GPS Speed Interface to my BEE III?
The GPS Speed Interface lowers installation costs, reduces wiring complexity, and helps agencies streamline fleet management. It’s a cost-saving upgrade that complements the BEE III’s durability.

Does the GPS Speed Interface affect radar accuracy?
No. The GPS Speed Interface does not change how the radar measures speed — it simply integrates GPS data to make setup and fleet operation more efficient.

What’s the total cost benefit of keeping the BEE III versus replacing it with new equipment?
Because the BEE III requires little maintenance and performs reliably for over a decade, agencies save significantly on replacement costs, service calls, and downtime. Adding the GPS Speed Interface compounds those savings by lowering installation expenses.
