With the iLane 7100 Series In-Car device, you can enjoy hands-free access to on-demand content and smartphone applications like e-mail, SMS messaging, calendar and calling. It’s portable, and is really the first of its kind to do what it does. The iLane reads e-mails out loud and on command, and it allows for access and control of other smartphone applications by voice command, including managing phone calls, SMS messages, and calendars. iLane also provides on-demand access to news and weather content from The Associated Press and The Weather Network.
iLane is intelligent as well. It lets you open, listen to, and respond to email and SMS messages entirely hands-free. iLane connects wirelessly to your BlackBerry services and is the smart way to get things done while you are on the road in your vehicle. Both BIS (webmail/POP3) and BES (corporate) BlackBerry services are supported with iLane. Configuration is a quick and easy, and a one time process and power is provided by a simple cigarette lighter adapter. It also includes AES-256 bit encryption and Smartphone-to-iLane Secure Data exchange.
Unlike server-based applications, iLane keeps private information localized in your vehicle. The capacity includes 500+ messages browsed, 4000+ contacts stored, and supports multiple users and e-mail addresses. The operating requirements include: BlackBerry 8000+ Series (BOS 4.1+), iLane Mobile Gateway Application, iLane Certified Bluetooth Headset, Vehicle, or Hands-free system and 12-volt car adapter.
This easy-to-use, in-vehicle accessory has a compact design for easy mounting and storage (fits in cup holder) and offers plug-and-play set-up and installation with simple, voice-guided pairing. The device measures 4.6 x 2.8 x 0.94-inches and weighs 4.1 ounces. The iLane 7100 Series In-Car Hands-Free Solution is a must for the road warrior, and really does what it says it does by performing a smattering of functions without ever touching anything.
