USTelematics Integrates Apple iTunes Music, Movie and TV Services into Voyager IPTV Product Line
By Barry Sher Business Development, IVR Technologies, Inc.
USTelematics (News - Alert) said it has enhanced its Voyager product line with the addition of Apple iTunes functionality and services.
Announcing the latest integration, the company said that the enhancement strengthens Voyager’s feature package with the addition of the leading online music, movie, TV show and audio book download service.
USTelematics’ new Voyager product line—said to be the first to offer live internet protocol TV (IPTV
) for passenger automobiles—integrates a suite of functions and features for the projected $58 billion mobile entertainment and data communications marketplace.
“The addition of Apple’s (News - Alert) iTunes into the Voyager product line not only extends our product’s versatility, but also provides users with a more seamless experience as they move from their home to their automobile environment,” said Howard Leventhal, CEO at USTelematics, said in a press release.
He added that his company is doing more than provide unique options for entertainment and information on the road, “we’re leading the evolution of the connected car.”
Leventha also said that USTelematics is commercializing an expanding line of products that target the telematics marketplace, including solutions that enable online internet access, email and other communications within passenger and commercial vehicles.
Voyager enables connection to the Web either by 3G EVDO or WiMax wireless modems, and provides hundreds of child-safe program channels into the rear seating areas of cars, SUVs, minivans and other family vehicles. In addition, it not only delivers live streaming video, but also plays live and stored online games, such as Disney Online and Xbox Live, and provides live and stored music, movies and TV shows.
Leventha pointed out that Voyager’s technology also addresses the business and personal productivity marketplace, and 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.
In addition to its web-based functionality, Voyager also offers features that do not require an Internet connection, which include DVD movie play, audio CD play, MP3/iTunes audio play, and full compatibility with music, TV audio book and movie download services– for storage on a 40 GB hard drive and play at any time.
