Connected Car Essentials is an entry-level product suite for car makers that want a concise and cost-efficient solution for vehicle connectivity. Vehicle connectivity has historically been used only by premium or volume brands, due to the high threshold of complexity and the costs involved. This is something we at WirelessCar want to change, as we believe that all types of car makers need to implement connectivity to stay relevant. Connected Car Essentials lowers this threshold by providing a flexible, cloud-based backend product that can expand over time. It is scalable in terms of additional services, the growing number of vehicles, and geographic coverage.

Connected Car Essentials allows car makers to launch their own competitive set of digital services, which in turn enables greater customer interaction and stronger brand loyalty.

Connected Car Essentials is a secure and reliable product suite, based on proven, compliant cloud-based products. Fast deployment means shortened time-to-market.

Some of the products included in Connected Car Essentials are:

Vehicle Integration: By implementing our reliable and secure communication protocol between the connected car and the backend cloud, you ensure a smooth and seamless customer experience.

Device Provisioning: Lifecycle management support of software and managed services, and support to manage feature or service updates. Configures and secures the vehicle with the certificates, addresses, and the service catalogue based on factors like vehicle model, customer subscription model and TCU operational state.

Master Data: Information about vehicles, devices, users and owners can be structured and managed in a comprehensive way, while maintaining data privacy at all times. Enables integration with factory systems and manages relationships between connectivity devices, the vehicles and the users.

Vehicle Diagnostics: Transports technical vehicle data, including Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and freeze-frame data.

The following products complement Connected Car Essentials for a full connected car platform:

Vehicle Status: A digital twin is set up, with up-to-date status information about the car’s dynamic data, such as position, fuel level, or battery charge.

Remote Services: APIs and communication patterns that enable quick development of services that allow drivers to remotely control features in their vehicle, such as remotely controlling doors, climate and other systems using a portal or mobile app.

Position and Journey: A collection of location-based services that manage vehicle data and help users in understanding how, when, and where one or many vehicles are driven. It stores location information originating from the vehicles as they undertake journeys and then transforms and exposes that data in a ready-to-consume format.
