California-based Becker Automotive Design, a luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV)
conversion firm, says it has taken the mobile office to new heights by adding
satellite TV and high-speed mobile Internet access to its
elite SUV limousines. Using the TracVision satellite TV and TracNet
mobile Internet systems from KVH Industries, Becker
Automotive Design now offers its executive business and celebrity
clients connectivity with more than 300 channels of news,
entertainment, and audio, as well as the full power of two-way mobile
Internet access.
"We selected the KVH TracVision and TracNet because there was nobody
else in the industry who could offer the two-in-one approach of
satellite TV and Internet. This design simplifies installation and
minimizes the number of antennas that are mounted on the roof,"
explained Chad Clemens, Becker Automotive Design's project supervisor.
"The primary application for the TracVision and TracNet has been the
mobile office and commuting scenario with a vehicle built in a
limousine-style configuration. Our clients specify that they need to use
their time on the road more effectively."
Based in Los Angeles, Becker Automotive Design, Inc.,
(www.beckerautodesign.com) specializes in converting SUVs and other
externally low-profile, non-attention-drawing vehicles (including the
Ford Excursion and Chevrolet Suburban) into original-length,
non-stretch, executive limousines by providing spacious and elegant
interiors, equipped with an array of personal comforts and
top-of-the-line electronics. Customization options include GPS
navigation systems, LCD video screens, audio systems, and
armor sufficient to protect drivers and passengers from a variety of
threats, claims the company.
"Increasingly, the automobile is becoming an extension of the modern
office through the use of wireless technology," remarked Jim Dodez,
KVH's vice president of marketing. "Satellite TV offers all of the news
that an executive needs, from Bloomberg TV to CNN and the business
coverage offered by CNBC. When you combine that with a two-way, mobile
connection to the Internet, you have access to all of the resources
necessary to stay in touch and make critical business decisions. We are
very pleased that Becker Automotive Design, which is renowned for its
outstanding quality and attention to detail, uses the KVH TracVision and
TracNet systems as the satellite TV and mobile Internet solutions aboard
its extraordinary SUVs. The combination of luxury, versatility, and
amenities make the Becker-designed mobile office unlike any other on the
road today."
