"In 30 years of impartial testing, we haven't seen this level of reporting range or immediacy of alerts by any other radar detector."
–       Speed Measurement Labs

Already a 'take it to the max' year for radar detector innovator ESCORT Inc., the category leader comes to 2013 SEMA ready to heighten its record breaking year with multiple product announcements.

A few months ago, ESCORT blasted the radar detector performance benchmark (again) with the release of the all-new High Definition PASSPORT Max™ radar & laser detector.  'Taking ticket protection to the max', the new PASSPORT detector established unprecedented performance records for radar detection metrics.  And in a very upbeat note for the firm, PASSPORT Max™ also achieved new 'bests' for product launch production numbers, booked pre-orders and direct-to-customer shipments processed (ESCORT show booth #11739, North Hall).

By basing PASSPORT Max™ on advanced Digital Signal Processing technology, ESCORT engineers created an entirely new detection science.  The new design enables PASSPORT Max™ to scan for radar threats fifty times faster than any other detector.  PASSPORT Max™ scans radar bands faster than 'the blink of an eye' (a human eye blink takes several hundred milliseconds while Max scans signals more than twice as fast!).

This dramatic increase in speed delivers a corresponding leap in detection capability and range.  PASSPORT Max™ delivers quicker response times; greater sensitivity for superior range; and extremely accurate signal recognition to identify and reject false alerts.

In an independent product test conducted by Speed Measurement Labs (SML), PASSPORT Max™ established three new benchmarks for the detector category.  With detection range to fifteen miles, fastest timed response and greatest sensitivity ever witnessed, PASSPORT Max™ set all new performance standards for the future of radar detection protection.

And PASSPORT Max™ connects with ESCORT's previous SEMA show 'best new product' winner, the ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app and network.  ESCORT Live™ helps customers drive smarter by dramatically increasing overall knowledge of their driving environment.  With ESCORT Live™, drivers know sooner, prepare faster and share important information in real time.  When linked with the PASSPORT Max™, the leading edge technologies provide unprecedented ticket protection for drivers.

"As the patent innovator, we continue to lead the radar detector category to new performance levels as shown by the PASSPORT Max™ and its completely new level of driving awareness and protection," said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO.  "Our new PASSPORT Max™, new media sharing products and shifting technologies all point to advanced best-in-class products and services for our partners and customers."

New for SEMA, ESCORT's Laser ShifterPro™ is a completely redesigned laser defense technology.  The all-new Laser ShifterPro™ is ESCORT's most advanced laser defense system ever.  Developed for laser threats and protection from targeting laser guns, the Laser ShifterPro™'s superior performance is based on its use of true laser diodes to maximize effectiveness against difficult-to-beat targeting laser guns.  And to keep customers up-to-date against new laser guns and future enforcement technologies as they are developed, the new ShifterPro™'s software is upgradable using ESCORT's exclusive online Shifter Tools™ download interface.

The new PASSPORT Max™ and new product announcements will be the key topics at the exclusive ESCORT SEMA Show press conference (Thursday, Nov 7, 11:30 AM, SEMA Media Center, Room N110).

Also being highlighted at SEMA is ESCORT's new MediaFlair media sharing hub.  Already a player in the smartphone category (SEMA Show winning ESCORT Live™ app), it has been a very natural progression for ESCORT to design and release the new MediaFlair™ portable, wireless data sharing hub.  MediaFlair™ is an exciting new way to listen, watch and share media.  Using the power and simplicity of WiFi, MediaFlair™ streams personal content to smartphones, tablets and more by using a companion interface app.  Load music, movies, photos and documents onto the included SD card and take it on the go.  Perfect for road trips with the kids, business travel, tailgating with friends and family, MediaFlair™ is personal media on the go (ESCORT's Show booth #11739, North Hall).
