NAVIGON And Clear Channel Extend Total Traffic Network Relationship
San Antonio TX (SPX) Sep 12, 2008 NAVIGON has announced a multi-year deal that will extend NAVIGON's use of Clear Channel Radio's Total Traffic Network (CCTTN). CCTTN delivers the industry's most reliable, accurate real-time traffic data to a wide range of NAVIGON's personal navigation devices spanning high-end to entry-level price points starting with the NAVIGON 2200T. "NAVIGON and Clear Channel worked together to bring the most highly demanded navigation feature to the market in a manner that is simple for our customers to use," said Andreas Hecht, NAVIGON's president for the Americas. "We are happy to extend the relationship with Clear Channel into the future since there is no real-time traffic network that is more accurate than Clear Channel Radio's, as they control all of the content with strict operational processes, reaching more than 200 million people in 95 North American markets." "NAVIGON was the pioneer in bringing free real-time traffic service to the portable navigation category and now takes this commitment to a new level by offering free real-time traffic on a full range of products including a genuine entry-level GPS navigator," said John Hogan, president and chief executive officer for Clear Channel Radio. "Their unwavering commitment to providing drivers with the best tools to navigate commutes and trips is unmatched and the reason why they have grown so quickly." NAVIGON announced in August that it was making CCTTN's Real-Time Traffic available as a free lifetime subscription on a wide range of products, including its new 7200T and 2200T devices. NAVIGON offers traffic updates for free as a built-in feature that works out of the box, no subscription, no extra hardware required, no strings attached and no menu advertisements. With more than 500,000 paid subscribers, and covering 125 metropolitan markets in four countries, CCTTN is the industry leader in providing real-time traffic data. Since 2005, Clear Channel Radio has quality tested between 125,000 and 150,000 miles per year, something no other data provider has even attempted. In addition, the company uses a wide variety of sources to compile traffic data, including a network of reporters, traffic cameras, embedded speed sensors, police scanners, and mobile reporters. CCTTN owns, manages, and monitors all of the towers and stations. As a result, every piece of the cycle is quality-controlled by the provider.
