 The X2, along with X1, controller is Intelight's flagship controller. It is the first traffic signal controller on the market with a full color, touch screen interface powered by Google Android. It is the first controller on the market to incorporate mobile technology outside of laptops. The controller is accessible from any standard web browser, including tablets and phones due to its onboard web server. The standard traffic signal software packages that Intelight provide can be installed on the controller. The local traffic signal controller software package is MaxTime. The X2 controller is powered on Android and retains many functions common on an Android driven cell phone.

-Having the Android backbone to the controller opens the doors for developers to produce app driven traffic software packages, limiting the amount of proprietary equipment in the cabinet. The X2 is capable of streaming video from IP driven video detection cameras eliminated the need for separate video monitors in the cabinet. Of course, the ability to download and use standard .APK android files allows for non-conventional apps to run including games. As long as the file is not too large, it will run. It is not designed to run games, and certain games will not load properly, or load flipped awaiting the user to turn the screen like a phone.  [[File: Frogger.jpg|thumb|left|The arcade game "Frogger" running on the X2 ]]

 No matter what app is running in the app drawer, MaxTime is always functioning and cannot be stopped. This means traffic operation remains active no matter what is running simultaneously with it.

 The ESB uses a Fresnel diffusing lens with a bank of LEDs (herein known as the “array”) behind to provide the illumination of the indication. The array has 9 rows and 20 columns of a single color of LED per section. The array circuit board is mounted directly to an aluminum heat sink to dissipate heat to outside the signal, improving the life of the electronics in the signal.

 The main selling feature of this signal is its ability to be programmed electronically, without tape, and in half the time compared to legacy programmable heads. Light steering can be done in the horizontal and vertical directions by effectively shutting off rows and columns of LEDs in the array, narrowing the light beam. Steering is achieved using either the wireless kit, or a serial interface kit. Both kits use Intelight’s Windows based interface software, "Light Manager". Light Manager comes in two main configurations: a laptop/tablet version, and mobile smartphone version.

 When then array in a particular section is lit, the CPU board is recording general information about the light and the electronics. This is indicated by a flashing green indicator on the CPU. This data can be accessed by Light Manager when registering the signal at the time the array is on. Light Manager can only see and access the section when the light in that section is on.

 In addition to all the features mentioned, the ESB also stores alarm information at the time the light is on. These alarms can also be accessed through Light Manager, and typically come up if there are issues with the electronics, or if the LED array is failing. If everything is operating properly, accessing the alarms from the signal will simply show “NO ALARM” from the screen. Up to four alarm conditions can be stored per section.
