The top honors for the new High Definition PASSPORT Max™ include 'Best New Product' 2013 SEMA Show, Popular Mechanics 'Editor's Choice' Award for Best New Product 2013 and a 2013 SEMA Show 'Global Media Award'.
A huge bonus included recognition for the new MediaFlair™ personal sharing accessory in the form of a SEMA Show "Global Media Award."
The new PASSPORT Max™ HD detector has been dominating show coverage for the mobile electronics category all week.
"Our new PASSPORT Max™ HD radar detector completely changes everything about radar and laser ticket protection technology and it is a perfect fit to debut this revolutionary new design at SEMA. To receive SEMA's top honor in response is both humbling and reassuring," said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. "And to also have Popular Mechanics as well as the International Global Media teams join SEMA in declaring PASSPORT Max™ a leading design achievement is beyond any of our imagination – we are grateful to be so highly recognized and, of course, we are quite pleased to be able to deliver these leading driving technologies to consumers."
Media attendees who attended the ESCORT official SEMA Show Press Conference Thursday (November 7) were briefed on the major industry show awards.
A coincidental but highly improbable repeat, it was just two calendar years ago at the 2011 SEMA Show that saw ESCORT receive similar honors. During the course of the 2011 show, ESCORT Live™, the social ticket protection app, was awarded three significant awards including 'Best New Product' 2011 SEMA Show, Popular Mechanics 'Editor's Choice' Award for Best New Product of 2011 and a 2011 SEMA Show 'Global Media Winner' award.
