Alteas' success stories
Altea and Airbiquity announce joint development of European telematics solutions
Munich, Germany - November 2008 Airbiquity, a global leader in wireless communication solutions, has entered into a joint development agreement with Altea to provide end-to-end connected telematics services to the European automotive marketplace.
Altea's platform is able to deliver a variety of telematics applications ranging from fleet management, pay-as-you-drive insurance (PAYD, PPU), traffic management or pollution control, remote diagnostic and roadside assistance by using Airbiquity's patented aqLink in-band modem in aftermarket automotive telematics boxes.
Airbiquity's aqLink in-band modem, which works over cellular networks, will facilitate connections between vehicles and Altea's Dispatching Centers via an embedded wireless module. This unique approach to data transfer will translate into to broader coverage than packet data or SMS solutions enable today and doesn't require a costly data plan.
The solution is a perfect match for Altea's trademark eCall+, a program that enhances the Pan-European eCall initiative to provide safety and security services to passengers, by enabling profitable business models for OEM automobile manufacturers' telematics applications.
Universal Group is an A-rated insurer based in San Juan PR with offices throughout the USA
The automotive division Universal Auto, has been selling SatCom-1, an emergency GPS location and notification system similar to eCall, since 2006.
After a less than satisfactory experience with a previous LBS provider, Universal sought out a reputable provider at the NADA show in Orlando, FL. in February 2006.
After evalueting several reputable LBS providers, Universal chose Altea due to its solid history dating to 1994, global presence and multilingual call centers, its flexibility in developing product suited for the local market, and its approach and commitment in supporting its partner.
Altea was very pleased to have one of the most respected insurance companies in Puerto Rico launch its signature product there.
Thanks to Universal's reputation, SatCom-1 gained acceptance, and market share has grown steadily since its launch.
More importantly, the relationship between Altea and Universal has flourished into a successful partnership between both companies, with a common goal of providing Universal customers the latest in LBS technology coupled with unparalled customer service and support.
Thanks to Altea, Universal has entered the dynamic market of telematics based insurance applications.
Altea's GPS and FCD based solution enabled Universal to amplify its insurance scheme portfolio by including cutting edge services.
Consorcio Azucarero De Empresas Industriales - Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Since November 2007 Altea is tracking the vehicles of the Consorcio Azucarero De Empresas Industriales (Sugar Cane Consortium of Industrial Enterprises) in the Dominican Republic.
The tracking activity is based on the Altea's platform located in Europe and managed directly from a local call center in Santo Domingo by a dedicated company of the CAEI. Altea is tracking various kind of vehicles, from cars to trucks, from trains to industrial machines. Different level of tracking is set on the different assets and additional services are offered to the end customer.
More development is coming soon. The project is going to be extended to the emergency forces of Dominican Republic like civil protection and Ambulances and will be sold to public in the second half of 2008.
