Not only is 2010 going to introduce the first commercially available wireless LTE networks but it looks like various cars of the future will be able to offer the same high-speed 4G connectivity.
The first LTE Connected Car in the world is going to be the Toyota Prius. As announced by ng Connect, the popular hybrid car will offer on board 4G LTE connectivity at some point in the future.
Toyota, as a member of the ng Connect Program, has worked with various companies in order to transform the 2010 Toyota Prius into the first connected LTE hybrid car in the world. With technological support from companies like Alcatel-Lucent, Atlantic Records, QNX Software Systems, chumby and Kabillion, the future Prius will be able to deliver that fast 4G connectivity that we were waiting for. Such a feature is definitely most welcomed while being on the road. It’s the driver’s job to focus on the road but everyone else can enjoy various services made possible by an LTE network.
The LTE Connected Car will offer you “entertainment, infotainment and security services” like vide on-demand, gaming, GPS navigation, vehicle monitoring, home control and a more. Wi-Fi support will definitely be included which means that connected devices will be able to browse the web freely while inside the 2010 Toyota Prius.
We have no idea when your Prius could be transformed in order to accommodate LTE services. Various cell phone makers and wireless subscribers are getting ready to roll out new products that will offer you LTE connectivity and LTE-based services. Most carriers will probably have LTE available next year which might mean that an LTE Connected Toyota Prius could arrive at some point later next year. And let’s not forget about the recent announcement made by a lot of important names in the mobile business earlier this week. An LTE standard solution for voice and SMS services has been already agreed upon which means we’re almost good to go.
