Lectronix Includes Parrot's Bluetooth Handsfree Kit in Driver Information System for Trucking Industry
Las Vegas, NV (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- Lectronix, Inc., a leading provider of electronics technology for the automotive market, today announced a new relationship with Bluetooth specialist Parrot to bring wireless solutions to the commercial trucking industry.
The two companies will collaborate on integrating Parrot's CK5050 OEM Bluetooth hands free kit into the Lectronix Navion T7000 in-dash driver information system. Designed specifically for the needs of the commercial trucking industry, the Lectronix Navion T7000 will now include as a standard element the Parrot Bluetooth hands free solution for Bluetooth enabled cellular phone integration.
The Parrot Bluetooth solution together with the Lectronix Navion T7000 means that users can have a hands-free cell phone call by wirelessly connecting their Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to the truck's Navion T7000 dash-mounted console and speaker system, without any additional wiring. The T7000 speech recognition system features dual microphones and state-of-the-art noise cancellation technology which provides for excellent sound quality and performance. Cell phone functionality such as menus and volume are controlled through the console buttons of the Navion T7000, and the T7000 can utilize either its text-to-speech capability or its LCD screen to display the mobile phone's battery level and signal strength, phonebook, call records and caller identity. The T7000 allows for seamless integration between the drivers' cell phone and the extensive Point of Interest database provided by Tele Atlas, a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location based solutions, and Lectronix allowing the user to place a call to any number listed (vehicle dealerships, service stations, distribution centers, hotels, motels, etc.).
"With increasing legislation that restricts hand based cellular use, integrating this Bluetooth solution for hands free calling is a tremendous step in preventing distraction and increasing trucker safety while on the road," said Frank Pellitta, VP Sales and Marketing of Lectronix. "We are pleased to work with an industry leader like Parrot, and as requirements for wireless technologies continue to grow, so, too will our relationship."
Beyond connectivity with mobile phones, Bluetooth offers the possibility other forms of wireless data communication. For instance, next generation navigation or entertainment systems could offer streaming audio and video capabilities from a Bluetooth-enabled portable device to the console and screen of your commercial vehicle. Connectivity is not limited to the interior of the cab, and a variety of Bluetooth solutions are under consideration such applications as transmission of truck data at weigh scales, wireless camera connections, or trailer-to-cab communication for container tracking or temperature monitoring. Lectronix is investigating technology solutions to meet the needs of these kinds of commercial issues.
"Enhancing Lectronix's innovative navigation systems with Bluetooth offers the commercial trucking industry a more comprehensive navigation solution and enables their fleet drivers to conveniently the access digital map content needed to efficiently access information and reach their destinations," said Jonathon Husby, Director, Automotive Market, Tele Atlas.

Train Your Parrot: Accessories
No environmental examination when you train your parrot, can be complete without an evaluation of accessories-chewing, ringing, holding, climbing, swinging, preening, and "bopping" toys. The easiest, least expensive, and most accessible of these are tree branches with bark. Branches with bark help keep beak and toenails appropriately worn and help prevent foot problems and numerous behavioral problems. I like ailanthus or sumac branches. Loro Parque in the Canary Islands provides fresh pine branches weekly. I think most taller trees are probably safe. I consider all shrubs, fruit trees, and trees that might have been sprayed with chemicals to be potentially toxic. Clean and examine branches for bugs.
