West Chester, Ohio (PRWEB) November 22, 2010 ─ ESCORT Inc, a leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, today announced the release of the all-new PASSPORT Solo S3™.

Our customers love the Solo S2, but based on customer input, we have raised the bar with the new Solo S3,” said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. “We think our customers will be very pleased with the result.” The new cordless Solo S3™ model is available now.

“With portability in mind, the new Solo S3™ model is a bit like a laptop in the PC world, which are sought for speed, convenience and use on-the-go … our new S3™ model is the laptop of radar detectors… small in size, light weight, convenient and portable, but big on performance,” said Tim Coomer, ESCORT’s Vice President of New Product Development. “ESCORT’s Solo series detectors have been the long-standing leader and detector of choice by drivers seeking a cordless detector solution. The Solo S3™ offers the industry’s longest range and best overall performance for a cordless model,” he added.

The new detector features all-band protection, 360-degree radar/laser detection and improves on the industry-leading range of the current platform. And the new S3™ model has a high-efficiency power management system that maximizes battery life with built-in intelligence that allows the unit to automatically power off if left unattended. Drivers can select from multiple user selectable features and will be better served with the completely new, brilliant high-resolution high-contrast OLED display for easy sight reading. The S3™ model is also compatible with ESCORT’s optional SmartCord.

The PASSPORT Solo S3™ Cordless Radar/Laser Detector retails for $ 349.95 and is available direct from ESCORT.

I was coming into a small town and a local cop was in a SUV was running constant on K band radar the Escort 9500ix did a good job picking it up.

driving south on lsd , chicago il, i decided to run a test to compare both radars, i ended up choosing Redline for my daily driving despite the occasional false alerts, i prefer to keep my record clean, now in some places they even check ur driving records if u’re looking for a job… hope this video will help you decide, redline camera, u be careful and watch for the signs nothing else, sometimes the 9500ix gives me the warning only after i see the redlight camera sign posted on the side of the road… it means it’s too late. with the GPS on , it doesn’t perform at its best , if you notice , it gave the detection when i almost got to the bridge , in the first video it gave me detection before the bridge , but redline gave it way before the ix anyway.

PASSPORT 9500ix CES Innovatons Award Winner

West Chester, Ohio (PRWEB) January 30, 2009

ESCORT Inc., maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, today announced that it has won several 2009 CES Innovations Awards for excellence in design and engineering. Featured in the most recent issue of Mobile Electronics magazine, ESCORT flagship brands PASSPORT and Beltronics both won Innovation Awards for the Vehicle Accessories category. “We are very excited about winning as well as appearing on the cover of one of the industry’s most prominent retail publications, one that distinguishes the best of the best,” said John Larson, President and CEO of ESCORT. “It is humbly satisfying to have our products so highly recognized by independent retailers and consumers – having autonomous accolades such as these is the utmost confirmation that your products are the very best!” he added.

PASSPORT 9500ix Radar Detector

Prominently placed on the cover of Mobile Electronics magazine (January 2009), the PASSPORT 9500ix Radar Detector was awarded a CES Innovation Award in the category of “In-Vehicle Accessories”. A consistent winner of all major radar detector long range detection tests, the PASSPORT 90500ix breaks new ground by building upon ESCORT’s patented TrueLock™ feature, which uses GPS technology to eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency. And the new AutoLearn™ feature automatically analyzes all incoming signals and automatically eliminates false signals. “This artificial intelligence makes the PASSPORT 9500ix the most accurate detector on the road. You drive – it learns – end of story.” said Tim Coomer, ESCORT’s Vice President of Product Development.

The 9500ix also addresses the single fastest growing threat drivers face today – the increasing numbers of fixed position speed and red light cameras. The 9500ix is prepared to meet this expanding new threat by incorporating a North American safety camera location database, which alerts the driver prior to approaching. The 9500ix safety camera database can also be updated via ESCORT’s website.

ESCORT’s Other Innovation Winner: the Beltronics GX65 Radar Detector

It comes as no surprise to the engineers at ESCORT that the Beltronics Professional Series GX65 radar detector is a CES Innovation Winner. That’s because they designed the GX65 with the same award winning technology as their other ESCORT brand radar detectors. Sister and peer to the 9500ix, the GX65 shares the industry’s top spot for the best long-range detection on all radar and laser bands and instant-on POP.

GPS technology allows the GX65 to provide permanent relief from false alarms. And like the 9500ix and 9500ci radar detectors, the GX65 comes preloaded with the North American red light and fixed position speed camera database and is updateable via the Beltronics website.

ESCORT’s Custom Installed PASSPORT 9500ci Radar Detector

The PASSPORT 9500ci reinforces ESCORT’s unrelenting radar and laser detector dominance by incorporating the same features found in the flagship 9500ix windshield mount radar detector, but in a custom installed system. Included in the design are both ESCORT’s patented TrueLock™ feature, similar to the 9500ix uses GPS technology to eliminate false alerts, and the new AutoLearn™ feature which automatically analyzes all incoming signals and automatically permanently eliminates false signals. “These features make the PASSPORT 9500ci the world’s only custom installed radar and laser defense system to possess this advanced technology,” said Coomer.

The 9500ci operates as a complete radar and laser defense system yet is completely discreet – it can’t be seen due to its integrated installation. Its blue LED full-text display provides instant visual threat information while a separate controller allows easy operation – separation of the display and controller yields great flexibility for the installation and maintains the aesthetic beauty of the owner’s vehicle. The receiver is also completely undetectable to all known scanning devices, making the 9500ci the stealthiest custom-installed detector in the world.

Laser protection is accomplished by multiple sensors mounted front and rear of the vehicle. These sensors are able to measure minute fragments of light produced by laser guns and provide superior laser detection. The 9500ci laser sensors also have “Shifting” capability, which significantly reduces the possibility that the driver will be stopped due to being targeted by laser guns.

And like the windshield mount 9500ix model, the 9500ci also incorporates a North American safety camera location database to alert to fixed position speed and red light cameras. The 9500ci camera database can be updated via ESCORT’s website.

Find More Escort 9500ix Press Releases

West Chester, Ohio (PRWEB) June 29, 2008

Further expanding its technological leadership in the radar and laser detector industry, ESCORT Inc. announced today the next generation of its GPS-powered speed and location intelligent radar and laser detectors, the all-new PASSPORT 9500ix.

“This product will completely revolutionize the radar detector category” said Tim Coomer Vice President of Product Development. “Although we have developed and incorporated leading edge technology never seen in our category, the customer will be able to simply plug it in and drive. It’s just that simple” continued Coomer.

In addition to its class-leading performance against radar and laser guns, the new PASSPORT 9500ix adds an all-new safety camera database and artificial intelligence to automatically eliminate false alarms. “We’re excited about these new capabilities and believe that they provide our customers with the best defense against the latest speed measurement devices” said Coomer.

The use of safety cameras, including red light and fixed position speed cameras, is increasing throughout the U.S. and Canada every day. The PASSPORT 9500ix addresses this type of threat by including a pre-loaded database with thousands of these locations stored in its memory. As the driver approaches one of these locations, the PASSPORT 9500ix provides an advanced warning including the type of camera in use. In addition, the PASSPORT 9500ix’s database can store speed trap and any other location using its Mark Location feature. “We believe speed cameras will continue to grow in popularity throughout North America. Given their low output power and angle to the road, our customers will have a clear advantage with this detector” continued Coomer.

To make it easy to stay up to date on new camera installations, ESCORT will provide database and firmware updates to its customers through their website. Customers simply connect the detector to their computer using a standard USB cable and log on to ESCORT’s website. The PASSPORT 9500ix comes with free updates for 90 days, and annual subscriptions will be available for a nominal fee. Notifications for new updates will be communicated using email.

The PASSPORT 9500ix also builds upon ESCORT’s patented GPS technology by introducing a new feature called AutoLearn. “Our new AutoLearn feature is the first artificial intelligence for a detector. As the customer drives, the PASSPORT 9500ix constantly analyzes all signals received and determines if it’s a real threat or not. False sources, like automatic door openers and motion sensors, will be locked out automatically. Now the only alerts our customers will get are the ones that really count” said Coomer.

The PASSPORT 9500ix also incorporates ESCORT’s exclusive “AutoSensitivity”, which varies the radar performance based on the speed of the vehicle. At interstate speeds, the PASSPORT 9500ix’s radar performance increases automatically to provide maximum sensitivity. At slower speeds, the sensitivity is adjusted to further reduce unneeded alerts, especially when the customer is not at risk.

“Bottom line, this detector provides the earliest possible warning of real threats, while automatically eliminating false alerts using our new artificial intelligence. It’s truly a remarkable device for those who want the very best protection” added Coomer.

The PASSPORT 9500ix will be available direct from ESCORT in July. The suggested retail price will be $ 499.95. Consumers can call toll-free 800-433-3487 for more information or to place an order.

ESCORT created the high-performance radar detector market in 1978, and has been issued more patents in the radar detector field than all other manufacturers combined. ESCORT manufactures test-winning detectors under the PASSPORT, SOLO and Beltronics brands.

ESCORT Inc. is headquartered in West Chester, Ohio with its principal manufacturing facility located in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
