IPTV Deployments Featured Article

USTelematics (News - Alert) has entered into a revenue-producing affiliate agreement with Netflix. Thanks to the pact, users of USTelematics’ Voyager Automotive Mobile IPTV, while using Voyager connected to the Internet, will be able to order DVDs for playing on Voyager in areas of limited wireless coverage.

 

The Netflix library consists of over 100,000 movie and video titles for physical delivery, either to home or a vacation destination.

 

Voyager offers many features to families on the road including a GPS-based gas price finder linked to MSN Autos Gas Price Finder from Microsoft (News - Alert) and live TV programming from several sources, wirelessly, while in motion.

 

“We are frequently asked about the presence or absence of wireless broadband EVDO data coverage in certain areas and the related effects on Voyager’s ability to deliver live video reliably,” said  Howard Leventhal, USTelematics CEO, in a statement. “While well over two thirds of the U.S. population is covered by EVDO, there are some travel destinations that are not – like the bottom of the Grand Canyon for example. Voyager has built-in DVD and hard drives. In areas of limited wireless coverage, it’s easy to just pop in a DVD movie and keep the kids entertained without interruption using Voyager on the road.”

 

USTelematics develops and commercializes next-generation, proprietary technologies to revolutionize the “wired car,” delivering high speed data and entertainment content to private and commercial vehicles.

 

The company is addressing high-growth opportunities in the projected $54 billion global telematics marketplace with proprietary technologies that enable a full range of voice-driven handheld and automotive mobile communications, full internet connectivity and rich infotainment options.

 

With products that provide a full range of next-generation rear seat infotainment, USTelematics is offering an advance over the old DVD-only systems that still represent the current standard in the rear seat entertainment industry.

 

According to its website, Netflix claims to be the world's largest online movie rental service, providing more than 8 million subscribers access to more than 100,000 DVD titles plus a growing library of more than 10,000 choices that can be watched instantly on their PCs.

 

The company offers nine subscription plans, starting at only $4.99 per month, with no due date or late fees.
