Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) today announced that
Valeo, the global automotive products and systems company, has
selected smart automotive modules from Sierra Wireless for a new
generation of telematics control units to enable connected car

for the Russian market. The solution will enable the emergency
response system that is required under ERA-GLONASS for new vehicles
in Russia. Geely is a multinational automaker with international

partner and we are pleased to be working closely with them on the
first of many future projects together. Connected car technologies
are entering the mainstream, and Sierra Wireless is playing a
crucial role in how the auto industry and its customers benefit
from important cellular connectivity services like emergency
response.”

Valeo’s smart Telematics Control Unit enables users to
interact with their cars remotely. Via their smartphone or tablet,
users can lock and unlock the car, activate and deactivate wipers
or heating, and receive car location, live video streaming and
other information from the car.
