ESCORT Inc. (ESCORTinc.com), designer and manufacturer of the world's best premium automotive accessories, is demonstrating its all-new ESCORT SmartRadar™ Bluetooth Enabled Radar/Laser Detector at the E3 Shostoppers press event in Los Angeles Tuesday evening. The ESCORT SmartRadar™ is a supercharged, out-of-sight radar/laser detector with built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology. The SmartRadar™ unit is designed to easily connect with ESCORT Live™, ESCORT’s multi-award winning ticket protection network.

The ShowStoppers @ E3 is scheduled for 5 June, 6-8 pm, at Icon LA, across the street from the Los Angeles Convention Center. ESCORT will be demonstrating both the SmartRadar™ supercharged radar/laser detector and the ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app at the E3 major press event.

“Key industry experts continue to rate ESCORT as the leading provider of the most advanced radar and laser defense on the market,” said Ron Gividen, ESCORT PR/Media Director. “The new SmartRadar™ detector provides drivers a best-in-class out-of-sight radar detector that connects seamlessly with our ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app for their smartphone.”

ESCORT recently debuted the new SmartRadar™ out-of-sight radar/laser detector with built-in Bluetooth® wireless communications at the CTIA Mobile Wireless show in New Orleans.

The SmartRadar™ detector, when connected with the award winning ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app, provides ticket protection technology and road awareness unmatched in the industry.

“Like many of our products, ESCORT SmartRadar™ helps drivers to drive safer by giving them advanced driving information and awareness,” Gividen added. “Our ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app’s advanced notifications helps drivers to be prepared for what lies ahead … instead of being surprised.”

ESCORT’s new SmartRadar™ device is a complete, supercharged, quick-install radar/laser detector with built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology for connection to mobile phones and other Bluetooth® devices. Small and compact, SmartRadar™ is designed to quickly and easily mount on the driver’s windshield out-of-sight, directly behind the rearview mirror. SmartRadar™ includes full X, K, and SuperWide Ka radar capability, full laser detection and digital signal processing for reduced false alarms.

But the real benefit of the new SmartRadar™ unit is its seamless connectivity to the award-winning ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app. Once connected, drivers have instant access to real-time shared alerts passed through the Live™ app network.

Repeatedly called out in prominent reviews as a leading new technology (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™ continues to receive national market exposure.

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. In addition to network alerts, the smartphone app technology provides ESCORT’s industry-leading Defender® database of red light and speed-ticketing camera locations and speed traps as well as ESCORT’s patented GPS features including posted speed limit information, over-speed limit alerts, live traffic for route optimization and more.

The ESCORT Live™ app features map and dashboard views with multiple alert settings based on user preference.
