The biggest of these was Verizon’s acquisition of Hughes Telematics for a surprisingly large sum of $612 Million. Hughes supports OE telematics services offered by Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen in the USA. Whilst the acquisition is unlikely to help Hughes expand business across other markets such as Europe (where it has traditionally struggled), it will undoubtedly improve its position in the USA against other major players such as Agero and Sprint. The acquisition of Hughes has also led to intense speculation about other ‘traditional’ TSPs being acquired by telecom operators in an attempt to strengthen their offerings. Watch out for announcements in the coming months! In China, telecom operators are already amongst the most dominant telematics players. China Unicom in particular has become almost synonymous with telematics, aggressively promoting itself as an end-to-end provider of everything OEMs might need (SIMs, call centers, dispatchers, content, etc). China Telecom is following close behind, and although China Mobile (the giant of the telecom world) has been slower it still has the resources and political clout to make more than a few waves within the telematics market. So why all the sudden interest amongst telecom operators? Those with longer memories will recollect that telecom operators invested heavily in telematics during the first wave of telematics in the early 2000s, which failed alongside the dot-com bubble. Since then, most telecom operators scaled back their M2M business, preferring to act as providers of data and voice plans. The recent spike in activity reflects a growing feeling within the telecom world that automotive telematics is finally at an inflection point, and that telecom operators have an opportunity to become more than just a SIM provider. Opportunities and challenges for OEMs SBD clients: Click Regardless of whether this confidence is misplaced or not, vehicle manufacturers stand to benefit from or scan the QR the increased participation of telecom operators. codes below to At an industry-wide level, closer involvement from telecom operators makes it easier for vehicle view the following manufacturers to address problems that have been holding back telematics for many years. The reports: widespread uncertainty surrounding tethering is one such problem, creating confusion amongst some drivers about whether their phone or contract is compatible with their in-car telematics system. These are the kind of issues that are now being addressed through the GSMA Connected Car Forum, which was initiated by the telecoms industry as a way to bridge the gap between the automotive and telecom world. At a company-specific level, vehicle manufacturers also stand to gain from the growing aspirations of The impact of telecom operators. Pricing is becoming more competitive, as telecom operators begin to offer attractive changing M2M quotes that combine the cost of SIMs and the TSP. The fall in quoted prices of voice and data are making strategies on the it easier for vehicle manufacturers to develop more attractive business models. Connected Car Not all good news though Despite these upsides, some OEMs have highlighted concerns about the growing profile of telecom operators within the telematics world. Primarily amongst these is a concern about becoming tied-down to a single telecom operator that controls the end-to-end value chain for their services (SIMs, TSP, call centre, content, etc). However, as long as OEMs are cautious in designing their service architecture to Using the driver's comply with standards such as NGTP, SBD believes this risk can be minimized. data plan for telematics: Is it A bigger concern is that the acquisitions of traditional TSPs (such as Hughes) by telecom operators viable or not? reduces the choice for OEMs, as it may lead to certain TSPs only being paired with certain telecom operators. The logic for this is that other telecom operators may be reluctant to work with a TSP such as Hughes now that it is owned by a potential competitor (Verizon). Ironically, the complexity of the telematics market may therefore increase even as the value chain goes through a period of acquisitions and consolidation.

    Driving Connectivity Microsoft Auto provides a flexible, robust, high performance infotainment platform that enables you to: Create innovative, differentiated solutions for your customers Reduce development cost and shorten time to market Keep your vehicles up-to-date with support for the latest technology 1 Welcome and Foreword The automotive industry is at an inflection point, where software plus services will redefine the future of the in-vehicle experience, and innovation is the new currency. This innovation goes beyond the features and scenarios enabled inside the vehicle cabin, it creates new vehicle ownership scenarios enabled on the web, the PC, and the mobile phone, and extends the relationship with the customer beyond the point of sale. These new scenarios require innovation in the business models and design and engineering processes used to bring breakthrough products to market. Consumers are expecting more from their vehicle systems, and from the level of integration those systems have with their other electronic devices and services. The key challenge facing automakers is how to bring these innovative solutions to their customers quickly and affordably, while maintaining a competitive edge and differentiation. The Microsoft Auto platform and Microsoft Auto Services are the critical components needed to deliver end to end scenarios on that challenge. Automakers face many challenges today, from competitive pressure and cost pressure at every point in the supply chain, to globalization of manufacturing and ensuring global applicability of solutions, and in marketing solutions in new and creative ways to sell cars faster. Microsoft is partnering with the automotive infotainment industry deeply to help address these challenges.
