Telematics: Emerging Wireless Operator Opportunities

April 2004 (34 pages)
At its simplest telematics is the integration of computers and communications enabling information services to be delivered via a communications network. It has come to refer largely to vehicle monitoring systems which enable services such as roadside assistance, vehicle diagnostics and navigation services. It includes location-based services and functions such as accessing the internet, receiving or sending e-mail and downloading digital audio and video files whilst in a car or other vehicle. One of the most significant opportunities, particularly in terms of scale, involves proof of activity (delivery notes, orders, invoices etc.,) applications. Vehicle telematics also plays a part in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) which are largely public policy transport initiatives including schemes such as road pricing, traffic monitoring and emissions monitoring which are designed to contribute to safer cleaner and more efficient transport

This report highlights how progressive wireless operators such as T-Mobile, Nextel and FarEasTone are addressing the growing Telematics opportunity. The report focuses on those applications which offer the greatest potential to stimulate wireless operator revenues over the next 2-3 years.
