Telefónica chooses ALTEA’s Evolution for telematics infrastructure in Venezuela

07 Aug 2009

Based on the flexibility, scalability and reliability of its Evolution - the Open Telematics Platform (OTP), which is adaptable to virtually any on-board device, works with numerous protocols and mapping systems and is accessible in different languages, Telefónica Venezuela has chosen ALTEA as the unique provider of telematics infrastructure for an increasingly sophisticated and fast growing market.

ALTEA's OTP is easily adaptable for use in a variety of key telematics projects, including safety & security services (such as anti-theft vehicle tracking and eCall), fleet management, insurance models (such as Pay-As-You-Drive), traffic management and remote diagnostics.

Being one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world in terms of market capitalisation, Telefónica focusses its activities primarily on the fixed and mobile telephony businesses, with broadband as the key tool for the development of both.

A global telematics service provider with a worldwide network of proprietary multi-lingual operating centres, ALTEA develops hi-tech customised telematics solutions for vehicle and heavy equipment manufacturers, insurance companies and fleet managers.
