The cars on-board computer system—with information fed via Verizons 4G network—can give the driver directions, Web browsing capabilities, real-time traffic updates and cameras showing traffic at certain spots on the route, updated video instruction manuals, and video recordings that start up when an impact to the car is felt.

      LiveEdge.tv is developing a product that will enable television news stations to replace their expensive news vehicles that send video via microwaves with a 1.5-pound unit that attaches to the back of the TV camera. The device sends the video from the scene to another LiveEdge.tv device at the station through the LTE network. The technology promises to cut a stations capital costs from as much as $250,000 for a van to $45,000 for the device, plus reduce operating expenses by 75 percent.
