Telematics is an emerging industry that offers location-based voice and data communication tools. In other words, telematics provides "smart" information, tailored to where customers are and to what they are doing, providing enhanced security, navigation, and convenience to mobile consumers and providing real-time data to automakers on how their products are performing.
Telematics is an up-and-coming market of automotive communications technology that combines wireless voice and data to provide location-specific security, information, productivity, and in-vehicle entertainment services to drivers and their passengers. Telematics refers to the convergence of wireless systems, global positioning, and onboard automotive electronics.
