Value and other data plans give Jaguar Land Rover customers
flexible options to stay connected while on the road."
AT&T's Connected Car Leadership
In 2014, AT&T
launched two major initiatives to lead innovation in the connected
car space. The first was a pioneering connected car innovation
center in Atlanta, called the
AT&T Drive Studio. It also launched a new global automotive
solution and development platform, AT&T Drive.
AT&T Drive Studio features a working lab and showroom to
build and exhibit the latest innovations. It is a hub where
AT&T works directly with companies and responds to automakers'
opportunities.
AT&T Drive is the company's connected car platform. This
modular and flexible global solution helps car makers build unique
solutions for the marketplace. Auto makers can choose the services
and capabilities that are important to them. They can add features
for connectivity, billing, data analytics and infotainment.
AT&T is a telematics leader and connects vehicles around the
globe. In the second quarter of 2015, AT&T added 1.4 million
connected devices. Of those devices, nearly 1 million were
connected cars.
AT&T was the first major wireless carrier to launch a global
SIM platform for cars. The platform lets automotive, consumer and
M2M equipment makers use a single carrier to wirelessly connect
products across the globe.
