Standard Equipment for 2007-
Newmar unveils their new London Aire Motor Coach at RVIA with IIM as standard equipment. Other RV Coach manufactures are offering IIM systems as either an option or standard equipment.

RV dealers hope to see you at the RVIA show, in Louisville KY, from 28th through the 1st of December. Look for Charles C. in the River Park booth. See our demos at either the River Park or Airstream booths. Hope to see you there.

Sea Trials start up again. Its pretty tough duty to get on board a brand new 40 footer on the East Coast of Florida and test an Internet system. Charlie gets all the tough jobs. Check back here in a few weeks for our trial results.

We will be updating our Products page with the addition of new conformal coated (marine) IIM Router, fixed, mobile and marine antennas, high performance wi-fi systems, and misc. hardware and installation items.

Dealer Catalogs, pos, and brochures will be shipping after the 1st of December. Also, please let us know if you would like to be added to our monthly mailing list.

We really appreciate your comments. IF you’re looking for something and you cannot find it… give us a call.

Sprint announced that their 3G cellular data coverage is currently in 141 U.S. markets and 250 airports and that it will expand to 220 markets by early next year.
Sprint started its rollout of its 3G EV-DO service last summer and, at the time, was far behind Verizon Wireless. While the coverage maps of the two companies vary, Sprint should be roughly equal to Verizon in the first quarter of next year.

EVDO rumors are flying around!

I thought I’d let you in on some noise we’ve been hearing about carrier complaints and how some EVDO card manufacturers have had to pull some units off the shelf and are now in the midst of reengineering them to please the carriers. The issue we are hearing is something called problems with ‘antenna diversity‘. That translates to having 2 external antennas.

You should ask the question of your provider if their EVDO product meets this latest performance criteria.

OBTW We should have an announcement in the next month or so on our new EVDO product, engineered to meet carrier performance issues.
