WirelessCar awarded BMW European telematics contract

28 May 2009

BMW has selected WirelessCar to be its Telematics Service Provider. Connecting all newly produced vehicles on these markets from June 2010 an forward, this prestigious contract will also include a migration path for all legacy vehicles currently operating in the marketplace. Services will be available on all models for a period of up to four years.

The basic services include:

• Automatic and manual emergency call
• Breakdown or roadside assistance call
• Up-to-date traffic information function
• Operator-supported information or concierge service offering drivers a wide range of local information and data.
• Geo-coded information (e.g. a Point-Of-Interest, POI) to the car

WirelessCar has created a strong relationship with BMW being its Telematics Service Provider in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Australia, over the past few years. In the meantime, the company has been co-developing the Next Generation Telematics Protocol for use on their next generation solution. That fact and the ability of WirelessCar to be a global provider, helped secure the contract. WirelessCar will be working with a third party provider as a Call Center partner to deliver services.
