The Ultimate Corner Office on Wheels Produces a Uniquely Effective Environment

ROCKLEIGH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crestron Electronics and Becker Automotive Design announce the latest innovation in personal productivity: a truly mobile office. Crestron is the world's leading manufacturer of sophisticated audio/video and lighting control systems; Becker Automotive produces highly customized, chauffeur-driven business luxury transportation. Put the two together and the result is zero downtime, even during a traffic-laden commute.

Becker transforms Mercedes-Benz manufactured new generation Sprinter Vans and Cadillac Escalade ESVs into virtual blank slates. Options range from choices in chassis sizes to the number of hand-crafted seats, a variety of upholstery and carpeting options and a selection of hand-veneered, genuine wood accents. Complementing these luxury features is a technologically advanced environment kept simple by Crestron, providing touchpanel control of virtually every in-cabin system and device.

"When you sit in a Becker JetVan or Escalade, the ‘wow' factor is undeniable," said Vin Bruno, Crestron Director of Marketing. "You immediately grasp how tremendous an asset it is for a busy executive on the road."

Without ever having to unclasp the seatbelt, owners can access high speed Internet, 3G wireless technology, satellite TV and radio, iPods and Blu-ray players, plus the air conditioning and heating, privacy dividers, aircraft-like LED lighting, electric aviation blinds, seat and foot rest controls and automated side entry door. 32" to 40" LED screens, 7.1 surround sound audio and lighting dimmers make the AV experience equal to that of a home theater.

Even when stuck in traffic, owners can browse the Web, read email, access remote computers or host a video conference, with setup as quick and easy as a touchpanel button push. Whatever is needed to achieve mobile productivity - uninterrupted work, conversation, rest, or relaxation - can be accomplished in a Crestron-equipped Becker vehicle. Combining easy-to-use, sophisticated technology with lifestyle-matching amenities creates an elegant, comfortable, private, and efficient environment conducive to optimal use of valuable time and an undeniably competitive edge.

"One of the great strengths of both Crestron and Becker Automotive is our ability to customize our solutions," said Howard Becker, Becker Automotive President. "If you can imagine it, we can deliver it; if it exists in your home or office, we can duplicate it. Enjoying your everyday comfort and business requirements while in transit allows you to use every waking minute to your best advantage."
