USTelematics Announces In-Vehicle Entertainment Solutions using EV-DO and WiMAX

USTelematics, Inc., deploying proprietary technology and market-disruptive products at the forefront of the connected-car revolution, has announced the debut of Voyager, the first product line to offer live internet protocol TV (IPTV) for passenger automobiles as well as an unparalleled suite of functions and features for the multibillion-dollar mobile entertainment and data communications marketplace. The product launch is a key component of the Company’s strategic initiatives to capture significant market share and expand revenues.

The Voyager brand of fully integrated wireless mobile internet protocol TVs (IPTV) is the latest product line to embody USTelematics’ proprietary technologies and solutions for entertainment and communications in the automobile environment. The Company is commercializing an expanding line of products that target the estimated $58 billion telematics marketplace, including solutions that enable online internet access, email and other communications within passenger and commercial vehicles.

“As the demand for entertainment and connectivity options continues its rapid growth in the telematics marketplace, we have engineered our technology and products to take the lead in price, features and performance,” said Howard Leventhal, Chief Executive Officer of USTelematics. “The Voyager product line represents an industry-first on several levels that we believe are central to the coming generation of rear-seat infotainment, including the introduction of full-screen automotive mobile IPTV in a fully integrated single unit.”

Voyager has been designed to deliver a competitively advantageous range of features and functionality for the fast-growing telematics market segment. Designed for connecting to the Web either by 3G EV-DO or WiMAX wireless modems, Voyager provides hundreds of child-safe program channels into the rear seating areas of cars, SUVs, minivans and other family vehicles.

Intended for use by families in their vehicles on extended trips, Voyager not only delivers live streaming video, but also plays live and stored online games, such as Disney Online and Xbox Live. It also provides live and stored music, movies and TV shows, all filtered to minimize the risk of exposure to web-based adult content.

Voyager’s technology also addresses the business and personal productivity marketplace. In addition to its value for kids in the rear seat, certain models of Voyager envelop the entire vehicle in a Wi-Fi hotspot on wheels. This feature enables for example, a front seat passenger to establish a web connection from any Wi-Fi card-equipped laptop for full bi-directional internet access, including email and website connectivity.

Voyager is being offered in three high-resolution screen sizes with 7″, 10″ and 12″ flip-down VGA video monitors. All system electronics, including the monitor, are encased in a single housing. In contrast to bulky car-rooftop satellite receiving systems, Voyager’s removable external antenna is smaller than many car radio antennas.

In addition to its web-based functionality, Voyager also offers features that do not require an Internet connection. These include DVD movie play, audio CD play, MP3 audio play, and full compatibility with music and movie download services- for storage on a 40 GB hard drive and play at any time, even in absence of a live wireless Web connection.
