Digital transformation is driving the evolution of the connected
car with major improvements in driver safety, new revenue streams,
and an immersive connected experience. With government safety
mandates around the globe, added advancements in the connected
world, there is greater demand for more value-add services and
feature-rich in-vehicle applications. From commercial and consumer
telematics services, to autonomous driving and driver assistance
features, along with a host of other applications dependent on
remote software updates, including infotainment; secure, wired
broadband-like speed is now a requirement. The evolution to
high-speed wireless connectivity is only possible if powered by LTE
Advanced, with little to no lag time, for the applications to
work.
