5650 Ericsson’s Connected Vehicle Cloud (CVC) platform is being used by 7192 Volvo Cars to further develop its digital services.

The five-year deal is expected to allow Volvo Cars to provide drivers with services such as automation, fleet management, telematics, navigation and infotainment.

Ericsson says its platform takes account of legal, security and privacy obligations – such as compliance with the European Union general data protection regulation.

Åsa Tamsons, head of business area technologies & new businesses, Ericsson, says the CVC platform removes complexity in areas such as data legislation and store management and also improves services latency.

Earlier this month, Ericsson announced its plans to modernise Hi3G’s transport network with 5G routers to help provide 1.3 million subscribers with a high-capacity network in Denmark.
