Gemalto will provide its Cinterion wireless module to Wuhan Intest Electronic Technology Co Ltd (Intest) to enable 4G LTE connectivity on their Telematics-Box (T-Box). Intest is a leading provider of end-to-end automotive solutions in China.

The Gemalto-enabled T-Box will allow device makers to offer fully-connected electric cars, allowing users to enjoy high-speed mobile connectivity for in-car infotainment, emergency roadside assistance, and advanced telematics services. Drivers can even use their smartphones for a secure keyless entry or ignition, for remote diagnostics, and autonomous parking. ​

China is expected to overtake the US as the biggest electric car market, following the government’s plan to have five million renewable energy vehicles by 2020. Safety and cost-conscious Chinese are also looking for connected cars that can ease their typical pain points like car safety and security, roadside emergencies, and traffic congestion. Gemalto and Intest’s solution will help car manufacturers to provide a winning combination of green vehicles and connectivity for the citizens, driving the popularity of electric cars across the nation.

“Chinese bought nearly 300% more electric cars in 2015 as compared to 2014,” said Sashidhar Thothadri, VP of M2M for APAC at Gemalto. “As in-vehicle connectivity expands from luxury models to high-volume midmarket ones, ability to respond fast to consumer preferences will be key to winning the hearts and wallets of people.”
