Centurion Wireless Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of antennas for wireless communications and Comworxx, Inc., a provider of in-vehicle telematics systems, joined forces Mar. 18 to showcase a new automotive communications solutions at the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association's (CTIA) annual wireless expo.

Among the antennas Centurion will feature at its booth is the Internal Mercury Tri-band, the industry's first telematics antenna to combine cellular and PCS communications with GPS in a single form factor that can be concealed under the dash or rear package shelf . In turn, Comworxx is demonstrating Port-IT, the in-vehicle telematics system with voice-activated telephone dialing, turn-by-turn navigation, and hands-free personalized information access. Port-IT can be combined with a common Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to offer even more advanced wireless-based information, productivity and convenience services, according to the company.

"The Mercury Tri-band offers automakers and the automotive aftermarket the solution they are clamoring to find with a high performance, low-profile antenna solution that minimizes the impact telematics systems have on a vehicle's aesthetic design," said Gary Kuck, president and CEO of Centurion. "We chose to invite Comworxx to help showcase the Mercury Tri-band because their innovative telematics system, in conjunction with our antenna, illustrates the full range of in-vehicle communications."

"Port-IT integrates every service needed to enable drivers with voice driven access to their favorite stocks, sports, news, infotainment content, hands-free dialing and much more, while exceeding the hands-off wireless legislation pending in most states," said Mike Jonas, president and CEO of Comworxx, Inc. "Centurion's products are an ideal companion to demonstrate the power of telematics that Port-IT enables and we are extremely pleased to be cooperating with them at the show."
