XACT Communications Unveils First Portable Battery Pack for Sirius

NEW YORK, Aug. 16/Satnews Daily/ — XACT Communications has unveiled the first Power Pod Portable Battery Pack for Sirius Satellite Radio. Palm sized with a sleek design, the XACT Power Pod Portable Battery Pack now makes it easier then ever to get commercial free content channels anywhere, anytime. 

With over three hours of listening time, this portable case has a built-in lithium battery and antenna that allows for maximum music listening enjoyment whether at the beach, in the park, on the water, or in the mountains.  This innovative and versatile battery pack allows listeners to maximize their Sirius subscriptions by listening on the go.

XACT's Power Pod Portable Battery Pack is compatible with the Stream / jockey Plug + Play Receiver which is sold separately.  The Portable Battery Pack will be available October at fine electronic retailers.

To maximize listening options, the Stream / jockey line will have additional accessories sold separately such as the Sound System Deluxe Portable Boom Box, a boom box that is compatible with the Plug and Play Receiver but also plays MP3 CD's, CDRW CD's and a digital AM/FM radio tuner with 10 presets.

XACT Communications is a leader in personal consumer electronic solutions.  This distinctive and unique brand represents a life on the move, one that is enhanced by the freedom of mobility.  XACT offers their consumers a fresh user-friendly experience through innovative design at an affordable price.

The company plans to market the Portable Auto-positioning Flat DBS antenna combined with a basic digital set top box in an affordable service offering with the major distributors and/or service providers. Tech's packaged solution, the company said, should cost under $400, plus would be greatly reduced to the end user given service offering packages and incentives that are common place in this business. Other much larger antenna only (without a set top box) is over $1,500.
