Ethertronics Embedded Antennas Enhance DriveCam's Automotive Driver Risk Management Solution

(Product News, 4 Dec 2007)

Ethertronics Inc. has supplied its antennas to DriveCam Inc. for its innovative behavior-based risk mitigation solution. The DriveCam's risk mitigation solution is used by distribution fleets worldwide to predict and prevent risky driving behaviors and save lives, and is also being used by parents to monitor their teenagers' driving behaviors.

Mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirror, the DriveCam's video event recorder is able to capture sights and sounds both inside and outside the vehicle including exceptional forces such as hard braking, swerving and collision; causing the recorder to save the critical seconds before and after the triggered event. Using Ethertronics' embedded antenna solutions, captured digital video of these saved events is wirelessly sent to a center to be analyzed and used in ongoing driver coaching programs to improve behavior and mitigate driver risk.

Both antennas utilize Ethertronics' patented Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) technology, whose high-isolation characteristics make it immune to frequency shifts and enable the highest levels of performance in an array of real-life environments.
