Our telematic solution enables single-link data and voice communication between a vehicle and a contact center backend. Utilizing sophisticated inband data transmission all communication is carried via a single GSM voice channel. Designed primarily to be embedded into a vehicle with built-in GSM module, this solution can also work with regular bluetooth handsfree kits. Emergency call requirements can be fulfilled as well as advanced telematic usage scenarios. Our telematic offering is fully integrated into the nexgenda directories solution, but can be deployed standalone without any problems.
