Denis, thank you for particpating here. As one who participated in the testing of a preproduction ALP unit, I was impressed with the unit, but felt that some improvement needed to be made in the performance to match the Laser Interceptor. Just before we tested a production unit with RadarRob and RedRocket, I stated that I thought that ALP wasn't going to preform as well as the Laser Interceptor. During the testing, it was obvoius that Antilaser did thier homework. Performance not only matched but exceeded the Laser Interceptor. One aspect that makes shows me how superior Antilaser is compared to your competition is that I could shoot the ALP with a LIDAR that Antilaser never saw or had before, record it, send it to you, and have get a firmware update in a few hours and the ALP jams the LIDAR better than your competition that had the LIDAR in hand for weeks or longer. You didn't get the oportunity to test your jamming algorithm against the LIDAR, you never even had the LIDAR gun in your hands, but your jammer and algorithm worked better. All the while your competition had the oportunity to test and tweak thier algorithm against the same LIDAR gun(s).
I realize that AntiLaser sells most of thier products outside of the U.S., and that is why you have many modules that appeal to prospective customers throughout the world. I also realize that AntiLaser does not take the cheap way out like other manufacturers do by purchasing less expensive and lower quality components. However, one complaint that I have heard is the higher cost of the ALP compared to its competitors. In the U.S. and on many forums one competing brand has won the respect and loyalty of the masses. Your competitor has brainwashed many that their product can not be out performed. They state that they have the highest power laser diode of any laser jammer. They also state that they frequently release firmware updates. To penetrate the U.S. market, you need to be more competitive with your pricing, and in the U.S. voice alerts must be included in the price of the "base unit." It is too hard a sell at higher price-point.
From an installation standpoint all of the additonal modules can make it more difficult to install. If I have a radar module and a bluetooth module, these are two additonal pieces I need to secure. An all in one solution that one can attach an external speaker to for me is ideal, but I do see the benefits to having separate modules.
A WIFI connection with the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Android or a cellular connection with an iPad/iPhone/Android through which you can access the firmware update, and transmit to the CPU via bluetooth, is a feature I would like to see. I assume that we will be able to concurrently connect our iThings/android via bluetooth to both the ALP CPU as well as our bluetooth enabled car stereo.
For those using the wired controller/piezo speaker, a usb attachment on it to use for updates or as the theft deterrent key would be a nice addition. The USB port could also be used as an output for an externally powered speaker.
Thank you for listening and producing a great laser jammer.
