Wavecom has announced that automobile manufacturer, PSA Peugeot Citroën, has selected Wavecom wireless technology for integration in its future generations of intelligent cars. Through the emergence of new mobile communication technology, using on-board telematics functionality, leading car manufacturers are now able to propose new in-vehicle services for enhanced safety and better mobility.
"We are pleased to lead the way in Europe for in-board communications and emergency services that should significantly reduce the risk of fatalities on European roadways," commented PSA Peugeot Citroën head of telematic applications, Arnaud de Meulemeester. "This leading-edge technology has allowed us to develop new service offerings for car-owners that should increase automotive safety and enhance overall automobile performance," he added.
PSA Peugeot Citroën plans to equip more than half a million cars over a four-year period starting in 2009 with cellular communications capabilities. This technology supports integrated, quality hands-free voice communication as well as PSA Peugeot Citroën's emergency call management service, 'Peugeot and Citroën Urgence'. This emergency service opens a direct voice contact in case of an accident and if needed, immediately dispatches rescue teams to the exact location where the accident has occurred, thanks to on-board GPS localisation capability.
The next generation telematics functionality for PSA Peugeot Citroën cars will be built on Wavecom's Q2686 Wireless CPU and will use Wavecom's Open AT Software Suite offering a variety of features to customise solutions for the automotive industry.
