Sirius has long been known for quality programming, exclusive shows and much better reception that XM in many locations. USTelematics is a creator of entertainment systems for vehicle back seat applications. So, what do the two companies have in common? Not much, up until recently. In an interesting turn of events, USTelematics has stated that they will begin putting Sirius programming into certain entertainment modules designed for vehicular use.
What does this mean for consumers? It means broader access to great Sirius programming, for one thing. Whether you want to tune into NASCAR radio, listen to your favorite stations or catch the news, this opens up whole new avenues for your enjoyment.
In addition, USTelematics products facilitate a broad range of what has come to be known as "infotainment." What exactly does this mean, though? Have you ever wanted to hook up your Xbox or PS3 in your car? Have something for the kids to do on a long drive? What about getting a really good DVD and TV setup? Well, those are exactly the kind of products that this company specializes in. Now, you can have your Sirius radio with those options as well.
The products don't stop there, though. USTelematics also specializes in creating in vehicle Wi-Fi hot spots so that you can easily connect to the Internet from your car, while driving. This means no more hunting for free wireless access points, or getting behind on work because you don't have Internet connection while you are driving. Some portable satellite radio options (Stiletto series) have both MP3 functionality as well as being Wi-Fi ready. The implications of this technology are vast and varied.
When will the product line begin being available with Sirius programming? The release date has not been announced yet, but it will be available through the Voyager line, an in car entertainment system that incorporates DVD, TV and, now, Sirius radio. Now you can listen to Howard Stern wherever you go, regardless of whether your vehicle came equipped with Sirius radio or not.
There are quite a few other innovative technology partnerships involving Sirius that you might be interested in, as well. One of these is the debut of 3 new models produced by Directed Electronics that are designed to allow XM radios to play Sirius instead and the third is a back seat entertainment system allowing Sirius to be broadcast throughout the vehicle, or only to the back seats.
Innovative partnerships such as those mentioned above are the cornerstone upon which new technological creations are built. Regardless of whether you care for the exact item being produced or not, it will only be a matter of time before a whole host of creations are available for your enjoyment in the car, on the road and at home. Sirius is leading the way in new pioneering efforts, as evidenced by their dedication to producing new, user friendly devices that enhance your listening experience and can be included in a number of different applications, from in-car use to home use, personal use and much more.
