The category leader and dominant patent portfolio innovator has also continued to keep focus on the ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app, the social network for the road.

ESCORT MobileTV is a miniature digital TV receiver that includes an ATSC-mobile tuner and a built-in rechargeable battery.  Currently available without a subscription fee, ESCORT MobileTV gives consumers access to live, local broadcast television across more than 90 stations in 35 markets, reaching up to 55 percent of the nation's population.  Users can watch live entertainment, sports and breaking news without the need to tap into wireless data plans, avoiding 3G/4G, Wi-Fi or data plan requirements and costs. 

Demonstrations of the new product began with the two most publicized media and press events held at CES where so far, ESCORT has met with key media at the Pepcom Digital Experience and the CES ShowStoppers media events.  Response to the new product is energetic and has included nearly a dozen video interviews featuring live demonstrations of the new MobileTV unit from the CES press events.

Alongside the MobileTV receiver, ESCORT is also featuring the category's leading network technology, ESCORT Live, the social network for the road (SEMA 'Best New Product', Edmunds 'top ten best new product', Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice, a Car and Driver 'Top Ten Most Promising New Technology' award winner and a CNET 'must see' new product).  ESCORT Live™ uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ 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. 

ESCORT compatible radar detectors including the PASSPORT series and SmartRadar™ models, when connected with the award winning ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app, provide ticket protection technology and road awareness unmatched in the industry. 

The smartphone app also provides ESCORT's test-winning Defender® database of red light and speed-ticketing camera locations and speed traps as well as patented GPS features including posted speed limit information, over-speed limit alerts, live traffic for route optimization and more.
