The flexible, solar-powered parking terminal
The IPS MS1 is a flexible, solar-powered parking terminal designed to adapt as your operation evolves. It switches between pay-and-display, pay-by-plate and pay-and-go modes with a keypad swap and software update — so the same hardware serves changing council policies, mixed-use sites and smart city deployments. With over 225,000 wireless devices deployed worldwide, the MS1 is built around durability, configurability and low total cost of ownership.

Designed to flex with how councils and operators need to charge for parking — and built to keep running with minimal intervention. Six core capabilities define the MS1.
Switches between pay-and-display, pay-by-plate and pay-and-go modes with a keypad change and software update — same hardware, evolving operation.
180° solar panels and combination battery packs reduce reliance on mains power, lowering running costs and environmental impact.
Customisable buttons, help screens, languages and time limits — tailor the user journey to each site's specific requirements.
High-security stainless steel housing with anti-graffiti coating and bright LED illumination — built for street furniture environments.
GPRS/3G communication for secure card authorisations, real-time tariff updates and remote management via the Data Management System.
Open interface integrates with ANPR, enforcement systems and third-party platforms — ready for the smart city operations of the future.
The MS1 is designed to be specified into permanent street furniture and high-traffic public car parks. Stainless steel construction, anti-graffiti coating and serviceable modular components mean it stays in service for years, not seasons — supported by MF Services’ local installation, maintenance and parts operation across Ireland.
