Free whitepaper on growth and opportunities for connected cars to 2025

A new whitepaper, written by SBD for the GSMA, forecasts the growth and opportunities for connected cars until 2025, analysing not only how fast in-car connectivity will grow over the period, but what type of connectivity will eventually become predominant. There are many reasons why connectivity in the car is likely to become ubiquitous over the next decade.

A new whitepaper, written by 4263 SBD for the 2246 GSMA, forecasts the growth and opportunities for connected cars until 2025, analysing not only how fast in-car connectivity will grow over the period, but what type of connectivity will eventually become predominant.

There are many reasons why connectivity in the car is likely to become ubiquitous over the next decade. However, for telecom operators, the universal future of in-car connectivity is not on its own sufficient reason to celebrate. In-car connectivity can be enabled for a range of different applications and various technologies. Some of these applications and technologies could prove more or less profitable for the telecoms industry.

The paper begins with a hypothesis: At some point in the future, every car will need to be connected to the outside world through a cellular network. The most user-friendly and secure way to enable this is by embedding a SIM card and a communication module inside the car. Therefore, the automotive market will naturally converge towards embedded telematics in the long term unless major barriers prevent this from occurring.

Although it concedes that the major barriers that have prevented this hypothesis from becoming a reality in the past still exist today, the whitepaper examines three distinct disruptive triggers that could eliminate many of the barriers that have prevented embedded telematics from succeeding.

    Smart parking key to sustainable urban mobility
    Smart parking looks like a market poised to take off in the US. It could bring many benefits, not just for parking facility operators and their customers but also for society as a whole. Steven Bayless, senior director, telecommunications and telematics at ITS America, looks at some of the opportunities and challenges involved. Parking is an estimated $24-25 billion industry in the US and although highly fragmented, it is experiencing a growing trend towards consolidation and outsourcing of parking operatio

    MOBiNET, the new ERTICO-led project which plans to develop and run an internet of mobility, a platform that links transport services and end users, recently concluded its first meeting. By developing a set of common tools and standards (collectively known as MOBiNET), the idea is make to mobile transport services, such as journey planning, automated ticketing, billing and vehicle tracking more accessible and more usable. As a 'cloud based' system MOBiNET will make it much easier for software developers to c
