The automotive industry continues to be a key driver of wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) applications and the pace of new adoptions is accelerating. With the expansion of high-speed cellular networks, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier-1 suppliers are bringing more sophisticated software and services to the vehicle. From geo-fencing applications that tie digital services to real-time geographic locations, to in-car infotainment systems, to predictive analytics and safety services, new innovations are helping the automotive industry truly embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) and leverage new opportunities that the connected world offers.
