Demonstrated at CES, the world's premier consumer electronics tradeshow, AT and T CruiseCast service will have a robust 22 TV and 20 satellite radio channel line-up that will include a variety of kids and family, documentary, music, comedy, news, and sports programming at launch. AT and T CruiseCast service utilizes a compact, low-profile antenna for use on cars, non-commercial trucks and SUVs, and a breakthrough technology that overcomes line-of-sight obstacles such as overpasses, buildings, trees or tunnels. The groundbreaking service was developed in collaboration between RaySat, Inc. a leading manufacturer and supplier for the mass market for cost-effective, low-profile satellite antennas that enable communication on the move, and AT and T, the world's premier telecommunications company. RaySat Broadcasting Corporation, a privately held U.S. company, is working with AT and T Business Development to introduce the new product to the marketplace. AT and T CruiseCast service is made consumer-friendly by the unique scaling down of satellite technology into the small pod-like antenna that affixes to the roof of vehicles. The antenna is paired with a receiver that is mounted in the vehicle and provides all video and audio connections to the appropriate vehicle systems, such as Rear Seat Entertainment, Vehicle Audio System etc. Related Links AT and T CruiseCast VSAT News - Suppliers, Technology And Applications
