What is Next for the AL Priority?

[kasher1979]

As many of you have noticed a new AntiLaser Priority CPU was released in October 2014, this is part of the evolving AntiLaser product and at this time it is NOT necessary to upgrade your CPU. The only new feature available for the V2 CPU's that is not available in the original AL Priority CPU released in 2013 is the ability to dim the EXTERNAL led. This was a feature that many people had asked for because the external led was so bright, but it was not possible with the current hardware. So ALP improved it.

Think of this like a cell phone. I personally started in the past with a Galaxy Nexus phone and a year or so later the Note 2 was released and a year after that the Note 3 came out and a year later the Note 4. As technology improves so does the products that are released on the market. Should I be pissed that I spent $500 on the note 2 when 2 years later the Note 4 is now released? Does Samsung owe me something because they improved the product? The thought of buying a product today and expecting it will be good forever is not realistic unless technology stands still. As a manufacture you need to improve your product every year or so or as history has shown us you will eventually fall behind.

If you look at Anti Lasers past you will see that they continue to improve and keep up with technology.

AntiLaser G8 (Generation 8, 2006)
AntiLaser G9 (Generation 9, 2009)
AntiLaser RX (Generation 10, 2010)
AntiLaser RX2 (Generation 11, 2011)
AntiLaser PRIORITY (Generation 12, 2013)

Can I promise you that the ALP you purchased in 2013 will support guns that have not even been created yet and might come out several years from now? No, unfortunately that is impossible to guarantee, but what I can guarantee is that AntiLaser will keep improving and do its best to stay ahead of the curve. If that means there are several different revisions over the next several years, then it means the product is improving. Its much easier to keep ahead of technology than sit idle and realize several years from now that you missed the boat.

In October 2014 AntiLaser released V2 of the AL Priority and I would not be surprised if down the line there will be a V3 or more in the next several years. AntiLaser will of course continue to support previous users and do what they can to give everyone the most time out of their units. Heck there are customers that had Generation 9 systems from 5 years ago and they recently upgraded their CPU and they are using their old heads on the AL Priority CPU for a small investment in a new CPU.

The original AL Priority defends against every single gun available. This has not changed. The V2 units will add new features, but protection will be the same across all CPU's. I can guarantee you if there is ever a lapse in the protection we will let everyone know in the event it becomes necessary to upgrade to a newer CPU. AntiLaser will continue to improve their products as they refuse to stand still and this is one of the reasons I chose to get on board with them as the US distributor. As I stated earlier, at the moment the only new feature released with the V2 CPU's is the ability to dim the brightness on the EXTERNAL led. If this feature is paramount to your install then by all means upgrade, but if not then sit back, relax and know that the next time you encounter a police lidar you will be fully protected. Can the other manufacturers say the same?

Thanks for listening

Excellent post. I feel a lot of pride and excitement to read this and know that I am part of this great family of ALP users. I know that sounds kind of corny, but it is true. ALP is the only product that I own that I feel truly a peace of mind that someone is behind the product looking out for me. I don't have to get on the Internet trying to do my own research or sending emails to the manufacturer asking why this and why that. Or asking when will this or that happen. Most of the time before I even know what is going on or even have a chance to ask; AntiLaser already has it fixed. It is really quite awesome. If this monster lidar is released tonight you bet AL will be on it like stink on cow patties. (Kentucky talk there).


I am VERY impressed. So far everything has been a total breeze in setting this up. My Hifi setup was great and went perfectly. I just can't say enough good things about it. Maybe I should do a commercial for you Tom. Lol. Great job!!

I think you missed the part for what is actually coming next

Well said.

There is no way for any company to tell you that a product purchased today will protect you against new threats that might not even be created yet. I just know that in order to stay on top there will always be a need for constant improvements. I just want people to understand that yes they are buying a product today and for today it will protect you against everything that's out there but if something new comes out and it requires new hardware or more power we will keep adapting and change equipment as needed. We wont sweep it under the rug like the competitors.

And that's what I love about the ALP more than anything. That's peace of mind. I don't know why anyone would be worried about purchasing and thinking they won't be protected. Updating hardware or whatever is no issue with me. The issue is GIVE ME SOMETHING. ALP has proven they will do that. It's going to cost money to keep things updated. I would rather spend money and update than nothing be available to spend money on while the product becomes obsolete.

I think we have beaten this horse to death already... ALP is the best and as things change we'll adjust as we go. Look at their history, they make it as easy as possible for everyone who owns their product. AMEN... Move on..

Well the longer history of the jammer industry is that a new king is crowned every 3-5 years or so. AL is the king as of 2014. I'd like to see them hold onto that title but who knows what will happen 10 years from now? Hopefully we'll reach a point where multiple companies have products out there that can protect against everything, instead of just having one.

Hopefully so BUT it seems all the others have history now of sweeping things under the rug. Tom has promised this will not happen. They have proven already that it won't. I think if it does ever get to the point that it's "swept under the rug" with AntiLaser that Tom will move on to greener pastures. I think the best thing to do is not worry so much about the future and just enjoy the product for what it is currently. Normally we don't buy an iPhone 6 and sit around and stress out about the 7 coming out. Just enjoy.....

X2, Thanks Kasher that is exactly my point. For a good example look at the last RALETC test where we were introduced to the new SX and we did very poor against this brand new gun & firmware. I just purchased that new gun prior to the test and it was never tested before and I never even took it out of the box. When RALETC said they were doing their test I sent them the new gun and asked then to check it out and see if anything was new. I could have easily tested the gun and found the issue prior to the test and quietly updated for it but we did not do it. We took heat for having the PT's but we immediately reacted and got to the bottom of it and fixed the issue and whether or not you had the 1.0 or 2.0 CPU the fix was released to everyone.
