Genasys Inc.'s product portfolio includes Long-Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) which caused permanent hearing damage to a bystander during a G-20 Summit incident on September 24, 2009.

Experts note the potential for permanent hearing damage, tinnitus, hyperacusis, and migraines from LRAD use.

While LRAD systems are designed to stay below levels causing instantaneous permanent hearing damage, and operators are instructed to wear hearing protection, some models can reach 115 dB at 10 meters, and larger systems require users to be 75 meters away at higher volume settings.
3
In 2020, over 450 US agencies reportedly used LRADs.

The company also provides critical communication solutions like the Genasys Protect "EVAC" system, which was deployed in Maui County, Hawaii, starting January 2025, and in other US regions.

This system is designed for evacuation and repopulation management, improving community awareness and providing information during emergencies via multiple channels, which can help mitigate health impacts of events like winter storms.
