Advanced Bridging Technologies’ iJet Wireless RF Remote
for iPod and Upcoming Innovation Announcements
Even as the industry is still buzzing about Advanced Bridging
Technologies’ iJet line of wireless remote controls for iPod, Vice
President of Sales, Rich Darling, is anxious to make announcements
about the company’s upcoming innovations.
ABT, Inc., in fact, always seems to be creating something new.That’s
because it’s part of the Secure Wireless family of companies, which has
developed over 100 products over the years—ranging from life safety
devices to digital entertainment products—and holds multiple patents
for its technology.Their radio-controlled products are used by dozens
of companies, including ADT, Brinks Home Security, and more, and they
pride themselves in both their heritage of life safety designs and for
helping to bridge the gap of wireless technology for the consumer
electronics market.
“We’re hearing all of the talk about how the iJet has become the
must-have wireless remote control for your iPod while riding,” says
Darling.And communication systems companies like Chatterbox USA
couldn’t agree more as they roll out the welcome mat to ABT’s products
like the iJet—which allows you to wirelessly control your iPod
while connected to your motorcycle’s existing audio system, or when
using a person-to-person communication system like a Chatterbox.
All the company will say for now about new products, however, is
that ABT is set to release several innovative ones soon that will continue
to showcase their unique wireless capabilities.
Pricing starts at $39.95. For more information, call (888) 869-4737

happen!

Besides their name, here’s the hook they use to get you in their
booth: “Hey, how about sitting down here for a moment” You oblige
by climbing up on a saddle.“Comfortable,” you remark.“Isn’t it Now
bounce around a little bit,” they add.Again, you oblige.
“Still comfortable” “Yes.” “Great, now stand up.” That’s when they
lift the pad you’ve been bouncing on to show you the large, metal clips
that have been directly beneath it the entire time. “No way,” you
exclaim as you ask the gentleman to replace the pad so you can try this
experiment one more time.
It’s true. Butt Buffers has created motorcycle seat pads and covers
so protective that even your butt won’t know it’s been hoodwinked.
