BELTRONICS, maker of the world's best performing stealth radar and laser detectors, returns to the Great American Truck Show in Dallas, August 22-25. BELTRONICS will demonstrate the world's best performing stealth radar and laser detector, the BELTRONICS Professional Series STi Magnum™ and its compatibility with their new ESCORT Live™ 'real-time ticket protection network' app.

The top-rated STi Magnum™ stealth detector is the professional driver's first choice in over-the-road radar and laser protection. In direct support of the STi Magnum™, BELTRONICS is highlighting the STi's compatibility with ESCORT Live™, the ultimate real-time ticket protection network. ESCORT Live™ delivers revolutionary radar and laser ticket protection by using real-time, cloud-based threat and information sharing among drivers throughout North America.

Both products will be featured in the BELTRONICS exhibitor booth 12028, Dallas Convention Center.

"For more than six years, our STi series stealth radar detectors have continually been rated as the best performing driving solution for professional drivers," said Ron Gividen, BELTRONICS PR Director. "But the big news for drivers at GATS will be our demonstration of the STi Magnum™'s compatibility with our award winning ESCORT Live™ ticket protection app which connects professional drivers allowing them to see what other drivers see, automatically in real time," he added.

ESCORT Live™, now available direct from BELTRONICS, uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ cords and a unique app for the driver's iOS or Android smartphone. When alerts are detected, they are transmitted to the Live™ "cloud" and then broadcast across the Live™ network, notifying other drivers of potential ticket threats. In addition to these live alerts, the app includes the industry leading Defender™ database of speed and red light cameras as well as speed traps.

"BELTRONICS can provide the most advanced radar and laser defense on the market by utilizing the power of real-time, cloud-based sharing among drivers," ESCORT President and CEO John Larson says. "Professional drivers using the STi Magnum™ connected to the ESCORT Live™ network will know about all threats sooner, be able to prepare for what's ahead long before they are in range, and overall, drive safer and Drive Smarter."

When it comes to radar and laser protection, BELTRONICS radar detectors stand alone, with innovation and technological improvements spanning multiple decades.

Six years ago, BELTRONICS underscored its leadership position in radar detection technology with the introduction of the revolutionary STi DRIVER™ radar and laser detector. At that time, all radar detectors were susceptible to being discovered by radar detector detectors. The STi Magnum and ™DRIVER™, along with sister brand ESCORT's REDLINE™, are the only radar detector technologies that cannot be picked up by radar detector detectors used by law enforcement.

The STi Magnum™ is the industry's most advanced radar detection technology tool designed exclusively for professional drivers. Part of BELTRONICS Pro Series, STi Magnum™'s dual antenna design with 60% improved performance, assures processing of X band signals separate from the critical K and Ka bands for superior range. By separating, and then specializing each band, the STi Magnum™'s unique dual low noise amplifier, twin antenna, provides category leading X-band range and, superior world-class sensitivity on the difficult higher-frequency K and Ka radar bands. The STi Magnum™ includes BELTRONICS patented TotalShield™ Technology which simply eliminates all radio frequency emissions and makes the STi Magnum™ completely undetectable to any radar detector detector - especially all VG2 and Spectre series law enforcement receivers.

Add the STi's connectivity to the ESCORT Live™ network and you have the world's most complete driver ticket protection package available anywhere.
