GSM technology improves safety on roads
When employed in road networks, GSM
technology helps improve the flow of traffic and makes it possible to use intelligent
telematics services that improve drivers’ safety, provide them with information,
and allow their vehicles to be maintained more efficiently. Germany’s toll
system for trucks operates on the basis of GSM technology. Ultramodern
electronic navigation systems and emergency call systems incorporated in vehicles
make wireless communication possible and have a localization feature named
“eCall” that enables drivers to track down the nearest rescue center if need be.
The requirements that the automobile
industry has to meet are extremely high today. Wireless modules made by Cinterion
meet the following criteria, for instance:
Facilitating integration - The open-standard development platform allows engineers to utilize
various components for their applications, which saves a significant amount of
time and expense in product development.
Ruggedness - Cinterion’s modules are designed to cope with
demanding conditions in motor vehicles, which is why they are extremely robust and
heat-resistant.
Conforming to standards - Cinterion is certified to ISO/TS 16949, and its
modules support all of the quality standards of relevance to the automotive
industry.
Reflecting years of industry experience - Cinterion, formerly known as
Siemens Wireless Modules, profits from its lengthy and close collaboration with
renowned carmakers.
