Telematics refers to the wireless exchange of information and content between motor vehicles and service centers to provide safety & security, concierge, entertainment and other services. In the past five years, telematics applications have been offered as product differentiators, primarily in new high-end vehicles. With continued technology improvements and cost declines, telematics has started to penetrate the mid to low-end vehicles as well as being offered as an after-market solution. The technical market research firm Business Communications Company predicts that sales in the telematics market -- including commercial and consumer applications -- as well as hardware and service revenue are predicted to reach $6.5 billion by 2008. Major OEMs have a variety of Telematics offerings with differing capabilities including Safety & Security, Navigation and Integrated Hands-Free capabilities. Over time it is expected that these offerings will converge to full-service telematics offerings combining the best of all these functions. As a result of this convergence, aqLink® is well positioned to enable the telematics market now, and well into the future.
