Cinterion Wireless Modules, the global leader in cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) communication modules, announced its renewed commitment to the European Union’s (EU) eCall initiative by signing a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) this month. As part of its ongoing commitment to improving industry standards, Cinterion’s eCall modules support the European eSafety initiative being operational in all EU member states on the single pan-European emergency call number 112. The Company will also continue actively pursuing sustainable eCall solutions that improve the automotive and insurance industries as well as other telecommunications companies. 

Marcel Visser, Global Vice President Automotive of Cinterion Wireless Modules stated: “Cinterion, with more than 12 years experience designing automotive specific modules, is well prepared to meet the future standards and requirements of the European eSafety initiative. Our company provides a broad range of rugged, automotive grade products, which offer features, service classes and quality levels necessary for the extreme environments of automotive telematics. As a matter of fact, since the introduction of the eCall initiative in 2004, Cinterion has lead the communication modules marketplace by being the first to launch three modules – AC75i, AC65i and AGS3 - specifically designed to meet these standards and requirements.”
