Connected cars with connected drivers is a new opportunity for automobile OEMs and mobile operators to provide services in cars. A new report from iGR predicts.
From 2012 to 2017, the number of connected cars in the U.S. is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 142%.
Connected cars can also offer safety, emergency services, diagnosis and fleet management.
U.S. Wireless operators will need to deploy LTE infrastructure for capacity and coverage for the emerging connected car market. Because cars are moving, small cells and WiFi hotspots will not provide the right kinds of coverage needed.
Cars with built-in LTE connections, WiFi hotspots, and full Internet will become more available over the next five years. Connected Car data will impact wireless network data usage.
