Automotive
Automobile manufacturers are incorporating wireless communications into both economy and luxury vehicle models and need reliable wireless connectivity that minimizes total cost of ownership, from production to customer service.
In addition, telematics, infotainment and location-aware applications will soon become standard in new vehicles. When automobile manufacturers provide these features, they need reliable wireless connectivity from vehicles to cellular networks that enable applications such as:
- Emergency Call (eCall)
- Navigation and driver assistance
- In-Vehicle Internet & Entertainment
- Remote Diagnostics
- Stolen Vehicle Tracking and Recovery
