The FTQ-99Nx controller is a full option package in a hard Nanuk-908 case. It provides bi-directional communication with up to 99 fireTEK modules across the fireTEK wireless mesh network.

The Controller provides full control of manual firing, automatic firing, and semi-automatic firing across the whole network.

All Controllers also come with an integrated audio player minimizing the equipment required to conduct a pyromusical. The audio player included with the FTM-99Nx is capable of receiving and generating SMPTE & FSK timecode. Like all fireTEK devices, the Controllers can interface with the fireTEK computer and Android applications.

The FTQ-99Nx Controller includes GPS which allows the system to advance from ARM to PLAY at a specified GPS time. This also allows an unlimited number of controllers to be synchronized regardless of distance. With GPS, fireTEK algorithms take advantage of the GPS accuracy through the network.
