Facts about Telia Sense
The cloud based connected car solution will consist of three parts; a monthly subscription, hardware consisting of a car telematics unit with an included SIM-card for installation in the OBD2-port of the car which is available on all cars from 2001, and an app for smartphones.
Some early examples of end user benefits:
- real-time car diagnostics and notifications for simplifying proactive car maintenance and repairs
- driver journal data and eco driving feedback for a more environmentally friendly and cost saving driving
- alarm features and remote monitoring in case the car is moved, broken into or simply just bumped into by another car when parked
- usage based insurance
- high performance connectivity while on the road in order for passengers to enjoy streaming music and film
The end user interface and the technical platform for Telia Sense are provided by Springworks, a pioneer in building smart human interfaces for Internet of Thing-applications. Earlier this year TeliaSonera invested in Springworks in order to leverage the development of innovative services.
