Enabling high end connected car features for everyone - TeliaSonera unwraps smart solution for connecting your car

As the first operator in the world, TeliaSonera is introducing a cloud based
solution enabling high end car features for the cars of today and tomorrow.
Together with partners from the automotive and insurance industries, a
combination of car control functionalities, high performance connectivity and
value added services will be made available in the Nordic and Baltic countries
starting with Sweden next year.
The unique connected car solution – Telia Sense - was announced today at
TeliaSonera´s annual Internet of Things symposium. By using an app together with
the installed hardware in the car, car owners get access to existing and coming
smart features and upgrades simplifying everyday car ownership.

“Our cloud based solution can as easily be installed in older as well as newer
cars enabling our customers to be in control and feel at home both on and off
the road. We don´t make cars but we want to make cars awesome for our
customers”, says Hans Dahlberg, Head of TeliaSonera Global M2M Services.

Partnering with leading companies from automotive and insurance industries, the
initial functionalities will enable smart features running from car diagnostics,
pro-active car maintenance, tailored car insurance – all available over 4G wifi
hotspot connectivity. Telia Sense will be launched in Sweden during 2016
followed by successive roll out in other countries in the Nordic and Baltic
region.

“Safer driving is important from a human as well as more environmentally
friendly perspective. The combination of our engagement in our customers and
focus for safer driving with the expertise and connectivity by Telia is the
first step out of many towards the future of connected insurances.”, says Jens
Henriksson, CEO of Folksam, a leading insurance company in Sweden.

“We know that simplicity and accessibility are important for our customers and
the all-in-one-solution of wifi together with smart services will be an
important tool in living up to our customers high demands”, says Per Ovrén, Head
of Business Development & Purchasing in Bilia, a leading car retailer and
service group  in Northern Europe.

Advancements in connected cars, smart homes and digital health are expected to
drive market growth for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in the Nordics by 23
percent annually until 2018, reaching EUR 9.1 billion*. The connected car
segment is in itself expected to grow from 0.2 EUR billion in 2012 to 1.8 EUR
billion in 2017.

“As a new generation telco we want to be a key player in developing IoT
ecosystems together with our partners and customers. The connected car is a case
in point; by combining our partners’ industry know-how with our connectivity we
create an amazing experience for car owners, drivers and passengers. And we’re
super excited about the features yet to come as the ecosystem evolves”, says
Hans Dahlberg.

Facts about Telia Sense
The cloud based connected car solution will consist of three parts; a monthly
subscription, hardware consisting of a car telematics unit with an included SIM
-card for installation in the OBD2-port of the car which is available on all
cars from 2001, and an app for smartphones.

Some early examples of end user benefits:
- real-time car diagnostics and notifications for simplifying proactive car
maintenance and repairs
- driver journal data and eco driving feedback for a more environmentally
friendly and cost saving driving
- alarm features and remote monitoring in case the car is moved, broken into or
simply just bumped into by another car when parked
- usage based insurance
- high performance connectivity while on the road in order for passengers to
enjoy streaming music and film
The end user interface and the technical platform for Telia Sense are provided
by Springworks, a pioneer in building smart human interfaces for Internet of
Thing-applications. Earlier this year TeliaSonera invested in Springworks in
order to leverage the development of innovative services.
