HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL BOOTH 13517-- VOXX Electronics Corporation (VEC), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ:
VOXX), announced today the Company has expanded its CarLink program
to now include the CarLinkBT Long Range Transmitter. This new
transmitter design communicates via Bluetooth to a smartphone then
to the vehicle using LoRa RF technology to extend its operating
range to over one mile without any additional monthly or annual
fees.
CarLinkBT Long Range offers today's most advanced convenience
and security solution allowing users access to their vehicle
without the use of a traditional remote control transmitter when
combined with a Prestige, Code Alarm or Pursuit remote start,
security or keyless entry system. The new transmitter concept was
developed to eliminate the need to carry additional devices on your
keychain. It's extremely thin design and rechargeable battery
were intended to "stick-on" the back of any smartphone device or
placed inside of a briefcase/purse to provide two-way functionality
to the CarLinkBT smartphone app to lock/unlock and start your
vehicle with over one mile of operating range.
"The introduction of CarLinkBT has reinvented what remote start
systems can now do by transforming a smartphone into a virtual
transmitter with no monthly service fees. We are excited to
continue to introduce innovative telematics products to the remote
start market," said Aron Demers,
Senior Vice President, VOXX Electronics Corporation. "We
believe CarLinkBT Long Range completes our CarLink Telematics
offering, by giving the consumer three different and distinct
control options – CarLinkBT with Bluetooth range of up to
100 feet, CarLinkBT Long Range for over one mile of
operating range and CarLink Cellular with virtually
unlimited operating range. Never worry about being without
access to your vehicle again with CarLink.
The CarLinkBT Long Range Transmitter (ASCLBTLR) will be
available Summer 2017 for an MSRP of $99.95. No monthly or annual fees required.
