WirelessCar provides key competence to Sprint’s Velocity Program

Sprint Velocity delivers a pioneering capability for the auto industry,
encompassing the development, integration and marketing of in-vehicle
communications systems. Automakers can use Sprint Velocity as a complete turnkey
solution or on a modular basis to suit their customized needs.
WirelessCar was selected by Sprint to be a key technology provider in the launch
of their Sprint Velocity Program. As an integral part of Sprint’s ecosystem,
WirelessCar helped to build and implement an end-to-end global solution targeted
to the connected vehicle industry.

As a technology provider, WirelessCar delivers the backend telematics components
that integrate and aggregate content, services and applications with focus on
embedded, vehicle-related features, including diagnostics, and remote services,
such as door lock/unlock. Core to this role is the extensive integration within
Sprint Velocity’s ecosystem and that of the automotive OEMs, allowing for both
synergy and differentiation for uniqueness of market offerings.

The open architecture used by Sprint is tailored after the Next Generation
Telematics Pattern (NGTP) in which WirelessCar is a co-founder. This allows for
Sprint Velocity to be flexible within their ecosystem and facilitates meeting an
ever-changing landscape and different global requirements.

“Sprint recognized WirelessCar for its extensive knowledge and experience within
the telematics space,” said Wayne Ward, vice president, Emerging Solutions,
Sprint. “This coupled with their global footprint in 50+ countries supports the
direction and requirements of Sprint Velocity.”

“There is a fundamental shift in the connected vehicle space with consumers
expecting more and more connected functionality that changes rapidly,” said
Martin Rosell, managing director of WirelessCar. “Sprint, with its deep
understanding of applications and customer relationships, is a natural and
complementary fit to WirelessCar as a technology provider. The Sprint Velocity
solution is a new way of thought leadership in the industry.”
