The Location-oriented Service of Wireless Networks Generates New Business Opportunities for Car Electronics

The development of wireless networking has enabled Mio to integrate wireless communication and real time transmission technology into its GPS, enabled car electronics products allowing them to offer six kinds of location-oriented services: on the go safety, positioning, navigation, tracing & management, commercial and leisure entertainment services, generating new business opportunities for car electronics products.

Wang of MiTAC states, “By adopting networking technologies, Mio enables in-car devices to offer more services than traditional car GPS systems. From real time traffic message navigation to the latest entertainment information, it enables in-car GPS’s to navigate smarter, and also enrich the lives of our consumers.”

In order to provide an even greater degree of real time information Mio has teamed up with FET, to enhance the original Traffic Message Channel (TMC) feature. Nilsson at FET indicates, “Through the nation-wide GPRS base station network of FET, we are able to offer more location-oriented and rapid navigation services. When anything unexpected happens on the planned route, messages are transmitted to the car’s GPS device, allowing users to recalculate their route. It also offers a basic navigation service that is based on Short Message Service (SMS), enabling consumers to rapidly communicate with their friends and obtain the location of each other by using the GPS device.”

The Moov380 is now available in Taiwan, and the unit price is NT$ 12,500. The market strategy, price and available time for other areas has not been confirmed yet.
