There’s no speed limit on the road to innovation, and to avoid being passed by competitors, Escort needed to keep their radar detection product fresh and extend its functionality. Escort became the first to introduce an accessory linking the traditional radar detector to a user’s smartphone, put driver information in the cloud, and put a social experience at the heart of every journey.
Before Escort Live, every radar detector was an island. The information gathered stayed strictly within the detector device and Escort was missing out on a wealth of data that could help other drivers. Mutual Mobile helped escort create a Bluetooth-enabled, MFi-licensed accessory that shares detected alerts with all drivers in the network. In addition, an accompanying iPhone and Android app become a touch screen for the radar detector, reinventing its utility.
One of the most exciting parts is that this innovative addition doesn’t just work on new Escort radar detectors, but on every one of the one million existing models already in the marketplace. This ground-breaking product has won recognition in the automotive field from organizations including CES, SEMA and Popular Mechanics.
Escort LiveI have tested hundreds of speed counter measure devices during my 40+ year career and I have never seen a product such as Escort Live.
Escort Live will forever change how you think and will use a radar detector.
