13 November 2006 - 11:30PM
Business Wire
The sleek, low-profile TracVision� A7 from KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq: KVHI) changed the face of in-car entertainment in August
2006 by offering in-motion reception of up to 185 channels of
DIRECTV� service plus broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC,
and PBS via local TV affiliates � a first in the mobile
entertainment and automotive industries. That breakthrough approach
to live mobile media for in-car entertainment was recognized this
week by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) when it named
the TracVision A7 an International CES Innovations 2007 Design and
Engineering Awards Honoree. Products entered in this prestigious
program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial
designers, engineers, and members of the trade press to honor
outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer
electronics products. �Automobiles are increasingly viewed as
extensions of the living room with regard to their accessories,�
commented Ian Palmer, KVH�s executive vice president of satellite
sales. �In developing the 5-inch high TracVision A7, we sought to
offer travelers an innovative, exciting means of enjoying a home
entertainment experience in the vehicle thanks to DIRECTV�s
all-digital programming service, stereo sound, and an unmatched
variety of live content, all available directly on in-car video
screens. It is very gratifying to have the CEA recognize the
efforts of the KVH and DIRECTV teams that worked together on
TracVision A7, including the new 12V receiver technology that helps
make mobile access to local channels a reality.� The prestigious
Innovations Design and Engineering Awards, which were first awarded
in 1989, recognize achievements in product design and engineering.
The program is sponsored by CEA, the producer of the International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world�s largest consumer
technology tradeshow, and endorsed by the Industrial Designers
Society of America (IDSA), the voice of industrial design,
committed to advancing the profession through education,
information, community and advocacy. The Innovations entries are
judged based on the following criteria: � Engineering qualities of
the product, including technical specifications and materials used
� The product�s intended use/function and user value � Aesthetic
and design qualities (using visuals provided) � Unique and novel
features � Contributions to consumers� quality of life � Impact on
