As things change, social driving and data capture will extend far beyond grabbing bonus candy on your Waze app. Let's explore the possibilities that cropped up in Embedded M2M over the last few days. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338370-take-checkered-flag-connected-cars-with-winning-value.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338370-take-checkered-flag-connected-cars-with-winning-value.htm Thu, 16 May 2013 12:21:34 GMT The idea of a connected car ecosystem really isn't so much a matter of "if," but rather "when." Just looking around at cars today, the nonexistence of a completely connected ecosystem proves that people want those options in place. Whether it's a GPS system on the dashboard, an MP3 player in the stereo slot, or a smartphone sitting on the front passenger seat connected and providing many of those functions, it's clear that drivers want these functions in hand. But how can car makers or those related to car makers, offer the best proposition that has drivers reaching for the keys to specific systems? The answer has to d with providing additional value. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338324-spirent-solution-selected-sgs.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338324-spirent-solution-selected-sgs.htm Thu, 16 May 2013 09:58:14 GMT In the modern day technological world, a company needs to have data throughput capabilities. This helps the company to analyze data transfer rates under numerous RF and call processing conditions. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338182-empirix-introduces-roaming-inter-carrier-assurance-analytics.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338182-empirix-introduces-roaming-inter-carrier-assurance-analytics.htm Wed, 15 May 2013 11:35:57 GMT Inter-carrier traffic is the lifeline of mobile and fixed networks. It helps operators determine the number of outbound roamers in specific networks, so that they can then adjust for demand accordingly. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338040-portugal-telecom-picks-intersecs-geolocation-solution-igloo.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/338040-portugal-telecom-picks-intersecs-geolocation-solution-igloo.htm Tue, 14 May 2013 11:42:17 GMT Portugal Telecom has picked Intersec's geolocation solution, IGLOO, to deliver location based services to consumers.

Some insurance companies used this and other studies to lower the premium for women drivers. However, young women drivers are finding themselves with higher premiums because of the gender directive. For this reason, telematics insurance with pay-as-you-drive policies is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for women. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337730-embedded-m2m-solutions-week-review.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337730-embedded-m2m-solutions-week-review.htm Sat, 11 May 2013 07:50:00 GMT Take a break from your Mother's Day shopping to read through this week's news from the Embedded M2M Solutions community. Let's recap the big events that happened in M2M this week. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337448-sprint-approves-telit-cdma-module-as-part-its.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337448-sprint-approves-telit-cdma-module-as-part-its.htm Thu, 09 May 2013 10:25:10 GMT Telit Wireless Solutions has received approval from Sprint for the CE910-DUAL cellular M2M module.

The focus, however, was clearly on communications, both leaving the house and even within it. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337168-sprint-aims-provide-audience-analytics-retail-stores.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337168-sprint-aims-provide-audience-analytics-retail-stores.htm Tue, 07 May 2013 16:32:15 GMT Let's face it, retailers would love to have crystal balls. They'd love to be able to look into the future and be ahead of the curve on coming trends. Or they'd like to have telepathy, the ability to read the minds of customers to anticipate their needs. But, since we don't have access to mystical divination artifacts or the mind of Professor X, retailers have to stick with more mundane solutions to get insight into their customers. To that end, M2M solutions leader Sprint is working with Intel in order to bring that company's AIM suite to retailers to help them learn more about their customers. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337120-golf-game-just-got-better.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/337120-golf-game-just-got-better.htm Tue, 07 May 2013 12:15:00 GMT Digital Caddies, of Scottsdale, Ariz., will soon offer "Players Network," powered by Sprint's wireless network and Android tablet hardware.

Young drivers pay far higher premiums than older drivers, and generally for good reason: as a demographic group, they get in far more accidents. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/sprint-news/articles/336269-sprint-ranks-fifth-greenpeace-cool-it-leaderboard-first.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/sprint-news/articles/336269-sprint-ranks-fifth-greenpeace-cool-it-leaderboard-first.htm Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:08:04 GMT Sprint has been recognized as the leader in the telecommunications industry with the Greenpeace Cool IT Leaderboard award. http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/335951-omnilink-asset-tracker-trailers-leverages-omnilinks-tracking-expertise.htm http://embedded-m2m-solutions.tmcnet.com/topics/embedded-m2m-solutions/articles/335951-omnilink-asset-tracker-trailers-leverages-omnilinks-tracking-expertise.htm Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:15:00 GMT The Omnilink Asset Tracker for Trailers is now available to fleet owners in the United States.
