CES Las Vegas, January 7, 2004: Designed on the overwhelming success of
the Passport 8500, the ESCORT predecessor that both Forbes.com and Radartest.com called "the
world's best detector," the Passport 8500 X50 advances the "world's best" detector standard ... an extraordinary achievement, again!
ESCORT Inc. (www.escortradar.com), the
industry leading designer and marketer of the most respected brand name in radar and laser detectors,
announces another exciting first - the all new Passport 8500 X50 featuring brilliant blue
text/graphics display and selectable POP mode detection. The Passport 8500 X50 is another example of ESCORT 's
on-going commitment to provide its customers with the best protection possible - the X50 not only
detects POP mode with incredibly early detection, but also boasts K and Ka-band sensitivity
increases of 50% providing continuing detection security that is simply unsurpassed.
"The New World's Best Detector" - ESCORT's award-winning engineers
designed the Passport 8500 X50 to meet and defeat
the latest industry threat, POP mode K and Ka band detection (POP mode is a difficult form of radar
gun transmission - it samples a target vehicle's speed too quickly for ordinary detectors to respond
and alert). Passport 8500 X50 detects ahead of
the POP mode threat in time for a secure response.
ESCORT - detection superiority. The overwhelming success of the Passport 8500 is
widely known. What is new for 2004 is that the Passport 8500 X50 advances the industry leading
performance of the Passport 8500 world's best detector by an incredible 50% increase in the
all-important K and Ka band long range detection!
"Our new brilliant blue display is an innovation that only ESCORT could
offer and deliver in a time of unprecedented industry dominance!" explains Tim Coomer, ESCORT's
New Product Manager. "We've not only added an effective way to detect the latest 'POP' mode
threat, but our engineers have outdone themselves again by increasing overall sensitivity by more
than 50% on both K and Ka-bands - that is simply incredible! The new Passport 8500 X50 is truly something we're all very
excited about!"
The Passport 8500 X50 can be
seen at the 2004 CES Show at ESCORT 's display booth #2617.
Escort Inc. (www.escortradar.com,
the industry leading designer and marketer of the most respected brand name in radar and laser
detectors) created the high-performance radar detector market in 1978, and has been issued more
patents in the radar detector field than all radar detector manufacturers combined. ESCORT also
manufactures the award-winning cordless Solo S2, Passport 7500S, and the Passport SR7 radar and laser detectors as well as the
completely new GT1 and GT2 Vehicle Performance Meters.
