October 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Gemalto has been chosen for factory-fitting PSA Group’s next generation of connected cars with its LinqUs On-Demand Connectivity solution, aligned with GSMA specifications. It enables PSA Group to roll out a tele-maintenance system to its connected vehicles and ensure hassle-free updates for drivers.
Gemalto’s On-Demand Connectivity solution is based on its auto-grade Cinterion MIM, which can be deployed across all models and regions. This enables the automobile manufacturer to tailor connectivity packages to different customer and market requirements around the world, and to manage them with complete flexibility over the long automotive life-cycle.
With Gemalto’s solution, PSA Group will be able to offer a rich mix of connected services such as communication between connected vehicles, sophisticated in-car infotainment, navigation and emergency assistance, sparing their customers the inconvenience of searching for a service station. Fleet management and software updates can be done remotely, so Peugeot, Citroën and DS dealerships can check vehicle health in advance and maximize up-time.
