Swedish machine to machine technology specialist Springworks has launched its cloud-based connected car platform Spark for mobile operators and service providers in the automotive industry with Nordic and Baltics mobile network operator, Telia Company.

The platform allows Telia Company and its automotive service provider partners to launch a range of new subscription-based connected car services for drivers in Sweden. Car services will include amongst others: 4G, in-car wi-fi, service warning alerts, parking information and warnings, tyre change notifications, eco driving features, insurance services, tampering alarm and dashboard data.   
 
The white label service will allow mobile operators to deliver a range of smart services to owners of new and old cars, using a plug in on-board diagnostics (OBD) dongle and app or API. The end-user plugs this telematics unit into the car’s standard OBD socket, which then connects the car through the operator network to aggregated services via the cloud.
