Autonet Mobile's IP TCU is built on the company's patent-pending TRU Technology platform, which manages the vehicle on an IP network. The new system enables any automotive manufacturer to connect their cars to high-speed mobile networks and deliver new features that enable pervasive cloud computing, mobile apps and fleet telematics. The company is partnering with Bosch's Car Multimedia Division to manufacture an automotive-grade device that can be factory installed to speak directly to the vehicle's other systems as well as to external devices.

"There are more than 40 million cars produced each year," said Sterling Pratz, CEO of Autonet Mobile. "Our Internet-based TCU is the first part that has been specifically designed for any automotive manufacturer who wants to bring the app store into the car."
