West Chester, OH (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

ESCORT Inc., the leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, held the world-wide release of its patented ESCORT Live™ Ticket Protection Network, the revolutionary radar and laser ticket protection network, at the 2011 Specialty Equipment Manufacturer’s Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas last week. During the course of the show, ESCORT Live™ was awarded three significant awards including ‘Best New Product’ SEMA Show, Popular Mechanics ‘Editor’s Choice’ Award for Best New Product and a 2011 SEMA Show ‘Global Media Winner’. The new ESCORT Live™ technology has been dominating show coverage for the mobile electronics category.

ESCORT Live™ won the 2011 SEMA Global Media Award, which honors products based on their potential impact and commercial success, upon review of its success and show publicity during the week long event. The show week began with ESCORT Live™ being named ‘Best New Product’ within the mobile electronics category, followed on the day with the announcement by Popular Mechanics, from the SEMA Show, the they had decalred ESCORT Live™ one of their selected Editor’s Choice, Best New Product winner in addition to the earlier, major announcement by SEMA. Nearly 2,000 vendors and manufacturers submitted more than several thousand new products at the event. For the Global Media Award, a judging panel of 26 journalists from 16 countries chose a select few products including the new ESCORT Live™. “We are extremely excited to be chosen by SEMA, Popular Mechanics and now these influential and respected journalists from around the world,” said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. “There is nothing else in the world that offers safety and threat protection like our new ESCORT Live™ technology. We believe – and the experts and the media are confirming this – that ESCORT Live™ is the ultimate social driving network.”

“The entire ESCORT team is honored to receive these three awards for our history of industry-leading premium automotive accessories,” said ESCORT Vice President of Marketing Dave Smidebush. “This is one more award that demonstrates just how truly revolutionary our new ESCORT Live™ network is and how, as a social network for the road, will help drivers to drive smarter.”

ESCORT Live™ delivers revolutionary radar and laser ticket protection by using real-time, cloud-based threat and information sharing among millions of drivers just like you.

Imagine you are driving to work or school, or in an unfamiliar area, where ticketing threats prowl, especially those out of visible range. What if you could track oncoming threats, or know where mobile ticketing vans are miles before they see you? ESCORT Live™, uses the eyes and alerts of ‘scout’ drivers connected with their smartphone ESCORT Live™ app to help you accurately know where ticket threats are … even before you leave your parking lot!

The result is social networking for the road – ESCORT Live™ allows you to know sooner, react faster, share important information and help you Drive Smarter.

ESCORT Live™ works with ESCORT’s class leading windshield mount radar detectors (and BELTRONICS Pro Series radar detectors) by simply replacing the power cord with ESCORT’s new Bluetooth enabled SmartCord Live power cord and the free ESCORT Live app downloaded to your smartphone (iPhone 3GS and 4, OS 4.1, and Droid OS 2.2 or later). When combined, ESCORT Live™ delivers the world’s most advanced real time radar and laser ticket protection.

ESCORT Live™ includes ESCORT’s test winning Defender Database which provides the most accurate speed camera, red light camera and speed trap information, alerting you in advance so that you can safely navigate high threat locations. Also, ESCORT Live™ includes ESCORT’s patented GPS features including Truelock which uses the power of location awareness and the ESCORT Live™ network to let you identify and then permanently lock out known false alert sources. ESCORT Live™ also provides drivers with the posted speed limit, their driving speed and even alerts when the speed limit changes.

The key to the ESCORT Live™ community is real-time national reach and scale, and the fact that it is ready to work with more than one million current ESCORT and BELTRONICS models in use today. Multiply this data gathering and sharing process by millions of miles and driving hours and the result is a nation of protected ESCORT Live™ drivers.

“Following an ESCORT Live™ driver yields excellent information about what lies ahead because the first vehicle’s alerts are seamlessly transmitted to other cars equipped with the ESCORT Live app,” says Larson.

“Our radar detector products have always provided drivers with the highest level of ticket protection in the marketplace,” Larson added. “Now, with ESCORT Live, ESCORT drivers don’t need to be in the range of the threat, they just need to be in the network.”

ESCORT Introduces All New Installment Payment Plan for Class Leading Radar Detector Purchases













ESCORT Live


West Chester, OH (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

WEST CHESTER, Ohio (PRWEB) November 14, 2011 ─ ESCORT Inc, designer and manufacturer of the world’s best radar and laser detectors and the all new ESCORT Live™ real-time ticket protection network, today announced their first ever payment plan for purchasers of new ESCORT award winning radar and laser detectors. The payment plans are in effect now and can be utilized for direct orders from ESCORT.

“For the first time ever, we are making it easier for our customers to receive award winning ticket protection by introducing payment plans on our industry-leading detectors,” said Dave Smidebush, ESCORT Vice-president of Marketing. The purchase of a new radar detector can now be spread out over thirteen payments. One example is the industry’s most intelligent windshield mount radar and laser detector, the PASSPORT 9500ix which retails for $ 499.95, packaged with the new ESCORT Live™ protection package (retail value $ 539.90) would be structured with an initial down payment followed by 12 monthly installments of $ 29.95 each. This dramatically reduces the total up-front cost of owning the world’s most capable radar and laser ticket protection package, and, allows the owner the use and advantage of receiving the full benefits of the coverage for the duration of the payment plan.

ESCORT detectors equipped with patented ESCORT Live™ technology, including the 9500ix, REDLiNE and 8500 X50 series radar detectors, have recently won the trifecta in top industry awards: 2012 CES Innovations Award; 2011 SEMA Best New Mobile Electronics Product; and Popular Mechanics 2012 Editor’s Choice Award for Best New Product. ESCORT Live™ is the social network for the road where drivers share live alerts with other drivers so everyone in the network can drive smarter. ESCORT Live™, now available directly from ESCORT, uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ power cords and a unique app for the driver’s smartphone. When alerts are detected, they are transmitted to the ESCORT Live™ “cloud” and then broadcast across the ESCORT Live™ network, notifying drivers of potential ticket threats. In addition to these live alerts, ESCORT Live™ provides live traffic, speed limit information and over-speed alerts and includes ESCORT’s industry leading Defender® database of fixed position cameras and speed traps.

“ESCORT provides the most advanced radar and laser defense on the market by utilizing our class leading radar detectors. Now the addition of ESCORT Live™ brings the power of real-time, cloud-based sharing among drivers,” ESCORT President and CEO John Larson says. “ESCORT Live™ is the social network for the road so you can know sooner, react faster and Drive Smarter.”

“Our radar detector products have always provided drivers with the highest level of ticket protection in the marketplace,” Larson says. “Now, with ESCORT Live™, ESCORT drivers don’t need to be in the range of the threat, they just need to be in the network!”

ESCORT Radar Files Complaint Against Cobra Electronics

ESCORT Radar Files Complaint Against Cobra Electronics













ESCORT Live


West Chester, OH (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

ESCORT Inc. (ESCORTinc.com), designer and manufacturer of the world’s best premium automotive accessories and the patented ESCORT Live™ real-time ticket protection network, today announced that it has filed a complaint against Cobra Electronics.

On Friday, November 11, 2011, ESCORT Radar filed a complaint (Case Number 1:11 CV 797, United States District Court Southern District Ohio Western Division) against Cobra Electronics in Federal Court in Cincinnati for patent infringement of two ESCORT patents, U.S. Patent 6,670,905 which was issued December 30, 2003, and U.S. Patent 7,999,721 which was issued August 16, 2011. ESCORT’s lawsuit asserts infringement by Cobra’s iRadar product and announced iRadar community service. This is the second time ESCORT has pursued litigation against Cobra relating to the ‘905 patent; the first lawsuit relating to an earlier Cobra product was settled in early 2008. ESCORT’s latest lawsuit also asserts Cobra breached the agreement that settled the previous lawsuit.

“The patents asserted in this lawsuit recognize ESCORT’s innovations marrying GPS and radar detection, which are the result of development and research by ESCORT engineers extending back well into the 1990’s,” said John Larson, CEO and President of ESCORT. “Our inventions and patents cover not only the identification and marking of false alerts, but also, the sharing of radar alert information between detectors, an idea we brought to the market with the ESCORT Live™ social network. ESCORT and Cobra have peacefully coexisted since 2008, but with the iRadar, Cobra has overstepped its bounds, into infringement of our patents, and is capitalizing on our research and our ideas, including ESCORT’s multi-decade effort to build a network that permits radar detectors to share information in a network that benefits the driving community as a whole. ESCORT was left with no choice but to respond.”

Escort’s New Ultimate Real-Time Protection Network, Escort Live™, Wins Best New Mobile Electronics Product Award At 2011 SEMA Show













ESCORT Live Dashboard


Las Vegas (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

ESCORT Live™, ESCORT’s ultimate ticket protection network, has been awarded the Best New Mobile Electronics Product by the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association). ESCORT Live competed with more than 2,000 products for the award, which is given for best new products debuted at this year’s show.

“The entire ESCORT team is honored to receive this latest award for our history of industry-leading premium automotive accessories,” said ESCORT Vice President of Marketing Dave Smidebush, who accepted the award at a ceremony at the show. “This award demonstrates that ESCORT Live is a revolutionary new product that will unite drivers in a social network for the road.”

The revolutionary ESCORT Live™ technology is on display along with ESCORT’s award-winning, premium automotive accessories today through Friday in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Booth 11349. Additionally, the winners are displayed in the New Products Showcase, South Hall, where news of the ESCORT Live award was featured in a live television broadcast to local media. ESCORT will discuss details of ESCORT Live at a press conference at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, in the Media Center at show.

ESCORT Live™ is the social network for the road where drivers share live alerts with other drivers so everyone in the network can drive smarter. Now on sale through ESCORT (http://www.escortinc.com/escort-live), ESCORT Live uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ cords and a unique app for the driver’s smart phone.

“Following an ESCORT Live driver yields excellent information about what lies ahead because the first vehicle’s alerts are seamlessly transmitted to other cars equipped with the ESCORT Live app,” says ESCORT CEO and President John Larson. “ESCORT Live is a nation of protected drivers helping other drivers in the ultimate live alert network.”

Media and industry experts also have praised ESCORT’s newest technology.

“ESCORT Live makes drivers the safest and smartest in history – you’re gaining real-time protection and real-time alerts,” says “Radar” Roy Reyer, an independent industry expert on radar detectors. “You’re becoming part of a community with ESCORT Live.”

“It’s not only reliably accurate in a way no other crowd-sourcing app is, but it’s also fun. It brings a lot of the cat-mouse element that makes radar detectors so gratifying to use,” said Eddie Alterman, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver magazine.

“You might have read about this ingenious device,” wrote AutoWeek editor Dutch Mandel in an article on the magazine’s Website. “Called ESCORT Live, it goes beyond a single, high-powered detector you put in your car. It is an entirely holistic system of identifying, tagging and recording the activities of laser-shooting gendarmes with a smart cord and a smartphone app.”

Here’s how it works: Imagine departing for the morning commute. Your neighbor’s ESCORT radar detector encounters a laser gun; that alert information is relayed immediately to the ESCORT Live™ network as a confirmed ”laser-detected” threat. Later, as you head in the same direction, even when you are miles away from the waiting laser gun, your smartphone equipped with the ESCORT Live™ app displays a red “laser-spotted” alert before you are in range.

ESCORT Live alerts are displayed with band, signal strength and frequency. Events spotted previously in the network are indicated by an “approaching live alert” message with directional location arrow and distance-to-arrive at the alert source.

Alerts appear at their coordinate location and are marked with an intuitive “heat map” icon that changes color and transparency based on alert relevance.

The ESCORT Live app provides the latest available information on speed cameras, speed traps and speed limit data. Important driving data is displayed for compass heading, vehicle speed and over-speed alerts. Users are automatically updated with the latest detector software to optimize performance and eliminate false alerts. The app features map and dashboard views with multiple alert settings based on user preference.

“Our radar detector products have always provided drivers with the highest level of ticket protection in the marketplace,” says ESCORT’s Vice President of Product Development Tim Coomer. “Now, with ESCORT Live, ESCORT drivers don’t need to be in the range of the threat, they just need to be in the network.”

ESCORT also will display two additional new products at the SEMA show.


    ESCORT’s QuickStart is a remote start and security system that gives drivers one-touch control over the several features to start, track, and secure their vehicle via their smartphone. Drivers can control multiple vehicles with one App and assign more than one user to control a vehicle.
    ESCORT Mobile TV is a connected Mobile Digital TV (MDTV) receiver with antenna, capable of delivering digital TV to automotive consumers. In addition to Wi-Fi and 3G/4G capability, this accessory directly manages Apple security IC (iAP0) and USB interface.

Customers, Industry Experts Praise ESCORT’s New Real-time Ticket Protection Network – ESCORT Live™













Visit ESCORT LIve


Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

ESCORT Live™, ESCORT’s ultimate ticket protection network, will debut this week at the 2011 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association) show. The revolutionary ESCORT Live™ technology will be on display along with ESCORT’s award-winning, premium automotive accessories Nov. 1-4 in the North Hall, booth #11349. ESCORT Live™ is the social network for the road where drivers share live alerts with other drivers so everyone in the network can drive smarter.

ESCORT Live, now on sale through ESCORT (http://www.escortinc.com/escort-live), uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ cords and a unique app for the driver’s smart phone. When alerts are detected, they are transmitted to the ESCORT Live “cloud” and then broadcast across the ESCORT Live network, notifying drivers of potential ticket threats. In addition to these live alerts, the system provides ESCORT’s industry-leading Defender® database of fixed position cameras and speed traps.

“It’s not only reliably accurate in a way no other crowd-sourcing app is, but it’s also fun. It brings a lot of the cat-mouse element that makes radar detectors so gratifying to use,” said Eddie Alterman, Editor-in-chief of Car and Driver magazine.

The key to the ESCORT Live community is real-time national reach and scale. Currently there are more than a million compatible ESCORT or BELTRONICS radar detectors on the road in the United States. Multiply this data gathering and sharing process by millions of miles and driving hours and the result is a nation of protected ESCORT Live drivers.

“Following an ESCORT Live driver yields excellent information about what lies ahead because the first vehicle’s alerts are seamlessly transmitted to other cars equipped with the ESCORT Live app,” says ESCORT CEO and President John Larson. “ESCORT Live is a nation of protected drivers helping other drivers in the ultimate live alert network.”

“ESCORT Live makes drivers the safest and smartest in history – you’re gaining real-time protection and real-time alerts,” says “Radar” Roy Reyer, an independent industry expert on radar detectors. “You’re becoming part of a community with ESCORT Live.”

Earlier this fall, a small group of ESCORT customers were given the chance to test-drive the Live system, which they hailed as a home run.

“The radar detector is really awesome, but the alerts on the map and the warnings that come back to you just take it to a whole new level,” said one participant.

“A huge feature of ESCORT Live is that it not only tells you the speed you’re going and the speed limit of where you’re at, but it also notifies you of the alerts around you – which you wouldn’t know unless you were part of the Live network,” said another participant, who also test-drove the system.

Here’s how it works: Imagine departing for the morning commute. Your neighbor’s ESCORT radar detector encounters a laser gun; that alert information is relayed immediately to the ESCORT Live™ network as a confirmed ”laser-detected” threat. Later, as you head in the same direction, even when you are miles away from the waiting laser gun, your smartphone equipped with the ESCORT Live™ app displays a red “laser-spotted” alert before you are in range.

ESCORT Live alerts are displayed with band, signal strength and frequency. Events spotted previously in the network are indicated by an “approaching live alert” message with directional location arrow and distance-to-arrive at the alert source.

Alerts appear at their coordinate location and are marked with an intuitive “heat map” icon that changes color and transparency based on alert relevance.

The ESCORT Live app provides the latest available information on speed cameras, speed traps and speed limit data. Important driving data is displayed for compass heading, vehicle speed and over-speed alerts. Users are automatically updated with the latest detector software to optimize performance and eliminate false alerts. The app features map and dashboard views with multiple alert settings based on user preference.

“It’s well known by analysts and industry experts that our radar detector products have always provided drivers with the highest level of ticket protection in the marketplace,” says ESCORT’s Vice President of Product Development Tim Coomer. “Now, with ESCORT Live, ESCORT drivers don’t need to be in the range of the threat, they just need to be in the network.”

ESCORT Live will be shown for the first time this week at the Specialty Equipment and Manufacturer’s Association (SEMA) show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information, attendees can stop by Booth #11349 (North Hall). ESCORT will also host a press conference at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 3, in the SEMA Show Media Center.

ESCORT also will display two additional new products at the SEMA show.

ESCORT’s QuickStart is a remote start and security system that gives drivers one-touch control over the several features to start, track, and secure their vehicle via their smartphone. Drivers can control multiple vehicles with one app and assign more than one user to control a vehicle.

ESCORT Mobile TV is a connected Mobile Digital TV (MDTV) receiver with antenna, capable of delivering digital TV to automotive consumers. In addition to Wi-Fi and 3G/4G capability, this accessory directly manages Apple security IC (iAP0) and USB interface.
