The streaming entertainment technology provides real-time digital information to moving vehicles via a broadband wireless connection which moves data at speeds up to six megabits per second over a peer-to-peer network consisting of access points and wireless data repeaters.
The network allows passengers access to internet entertainment options such as MP3 music files, video programmes, web cameras and audio from up to 4,500 radio stations from around the globe (although just-auto experience suggests internet radio is still rather unreliable).
The system also allows users to play head-to-head games over the internet and allows access to files such as digital music and home movies stored on a home media server or personal computer.
The system does not require a hard drive or personal computer in the vehicle to access the information and works with the existing audio and rear-seat video systems, making integration simple and cost-effective.
