BELTRONICS Features Top Rated Professional Driver STi Magnum™ Radar & Laser Detector at Mid-America Truck Show, Booth 40652 - Sponsors WLW's America's Truckin Network

BELTRONICS, maker of the world's best performing radar and laser detectors, will feature its newest award winning Professional Series STi Magnum™ radar detector at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky March 23-25.

"For over six years uninterrupted, the STi series stealth radar detectors have been rated as the proven best performing solution for professional drivers," said Don Rich, BELTRONICS Vice-President of Sales.

Both products will be featured in the BELTRONICS exhibit (Booth 40652, North Wing Lobby). "For over six years uninterrupted, the STi series stealth radar detectors have been rated as the proven best performing solution for professional drivers," said Don Rich, BELTRONICS Vice-President of Sales. "Again, as in years past, at this week's MATS show at the Kentucky Expo Center, we will be demonstrating the legendary, state-of-the-art performance of the STi Magnum™ and the GX65 radar detectors," said Rich. "The STi Magnum™ radar detector is still the world's best windshield mount detector with test winning long range performance and completely undetectable performance exclusively designed for professional drivers," he added.

ESCORT Live™, now available directly from BELTRONICS, uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live™ cords and a unique app for the driver's smartphone. When alerts are detected, they are transmitted to the Live™ "cloud" and then broadcast across the Live™ network, notifying drivers of potential ticket threats. In addition to these live alerts, the app includes the industry leading Defender� database of fixed position cameras and 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™ social 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 original STi DRIVER™, along with the sister brand ESCORT REDLINE, are the only radar detector technologies that can't be picked up by radar detector detectors used by law enforcement.

"The STi Driver is the only detector completely invisible to all radar detector detectors, while maintaining blistering sensitivity to all radar bands." - Speed Measurement Labs

Driving commercial rigs requires professional tools and the STi Magnum™ is the industry's most advanced radar detection technology tool designed exclusively for professional drivers. Now a 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 which make the STi Magnum™ completely undetectable to any radar detector detector - especially all VG2 and Spectre series law enforcement receivers.

And now the new STi Magnum™ improves both the stealth capability of the original and boasts 60% performance improvement in range - the STi Magnum™ has the best range available for professional drivers in a completely invisible performance package. Add the STi's connectivity to the ESCORT Live™ network and you have the world's most complete driver ticket protection package available anywhere.
