Airbiquity Expands Offerings, Launches as Full Telematics Service Provider

NOVI, Mich.--Airbiquity, a global leader in wireless connected services solutions, today announced that the company is newly positioned as a complete telematics service provider, offering the most comprehensive, cost-effective, end-to-end connectivity solutions for automotive OEMs, fleet managers and PND manufacturers.

Airbiquity’s shift to a full telematics service provider was shaped by a series of interviews with automotive OEMs, PND manufacturers, fleet managers, industry analysts, partners and consumers globally. Based on this expert feedback and consumer insights, the new Airbiquity Connected Services were born, spanning a number of categories including: Safety & Security, Maintenance & Care, Productivity & Efficiency, Luxury & Convenience, Entertainment & Fun and 50 other desired categories and services.

Airbiquity Connected Services enable customized offerings to be implemented on both fully embedded wireless modules in cars and PND devices or via a Bluetooth connection utilizing a user’s existing mobile phone to deliver a full array of services. This two-tier approach ensures a price point acceptable to both mass-market and premium segments.

“We saw the clear need to better define our company positioning and make Airbiquity ready for future growth in connected services worldwide,” said Kamyar Moinzadeh, president and CEO of Airbiquity. “Despite tough economic times, we see continued momentum in all sectors. Airbiquity is now able to tailor solutions that address every embedded, portable or converged connectivity requirement on a global level.”

Airbiquity has substantially increased its portfolio of available connected services while expanding service coverage areas in Europe and China to successfully address the growing worldwide demand for connectivity. World-class partnerships round out the company’s full suite of solution offerings. The company has also overhauled the company logo, website and collateral to better reflect its new offerings.

Airbiquity’s Connected Services categories will be showcased at the Telematics Detroit Conference and Exhibition, June 2-3, 2009, at the Rock Financial Showplace in Michigan, USA.
