Delphi Corp. and Autonet Mobile will market and develop Internet-connectivity technology products for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The next-generation telematics platform is designed to deliver entertainment, downloadable content and other forms of media, according to Delphi.
The two companies are field testing new telematics and in-car entertainment products using Internet-based media services designed on the Autonet Mobile network architecture.
Delphi and Autonet Mobile will also be hardening communication connections to automotive grade to meet current OEM requirements.
Additionally, the two companies will provide demonstration vehicles equipped with the new technology for OEMs and consumer market testing, said Delphi.
Autonet Mobile is intended to turn vehicles into secure mobile Wi-Fi hot spots. The company's TRU Technology is designed to keep passengers connected in a moving vehicle, said Delphi.
The technology is touted as helping to eliminate the "dropped call" syndrome and can provide access to e-mail, web information, games and other Internet-based activities, said Delphi.
Vehicle passengers can use any Wi-Fi device to stay connected to the Internet, said Delphi.
