Heavy Reliance on Telecom Companies to Provide State-of-the-Art Connectivity

As the connected car market grows, automotive market research shows that many companies will become increasingly reliant on telecom providers to give them the state-of-the-art connectivity they desire. Networks and telecom companies will be needed not only to provide success but also a safe and reliable area of growth for the connected car market.

More specifically, the telecom industry will play a leading role in helping to develop key technologies and applications, such as embedded machine-to-machine SIM cards, functioning GPS technology, and satellite communications technology. Due to the many sensors, measurements, and other processes occurring simultaneously in today’s connected vehicle, telecom providers will be tasked with creating supporting technology to streamline processes and mitigate failure.

Connected Cars Will Be the Driving Force for IoT
