ETSI Adopts Car Connectivity Consortium's MirrorLink Technical Specification
The Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) and ETSI (News - Alert) today announced the
publication of the MirrorLink® Specification, as ETSI Technical
Specification, the
TS 103 544 series. Developed by the CCC, MirrorLink is an open
standard for smartphone-car connectivity that allows smartphone apps to
be projected on car In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems.
"MirrorLink's ability to safely connect smart phones to vehicle
displays makes it a compelling addition to ETSI's portfolio," says
Niels Peter Anderson, ETSI ITS chairman. "We have released the
MirrorLink specification through our ETSI Publicly Available
Specifications process, which enables specifications from industry
bodies to benefit from the increased recognition and visibility of an
ETSI Technical Specification."
The CCC developed MirrorLink in collaboration with cross-industry
stakeholders including car OEM, tier-1 suppliers, phone manufacturers,
and app developers. MirrorLink gives smart devices a robust and
streamlined, wired and wireless mechanism for presenting applications on
IVI systems. Consumers have acces to smartphone applications in a
responsible way, while conforming to industry guidelines to minimize
driver distraction by using voice, touch and rotary knob inputs.
MirrorLink is already deployed in hundreds of millions of smart phones
and millions of vehicles.
"We are pleased MirrorLink has become an ETSI Technical Specification
and part of the ETSI family," said Mahfuzur Rahman, President of
CCC. "As an ETSI Technical Specification, MirrorLink adoption will
expand and enable more smart phones to safely connect and interoperate
with auto makers' IVI units."
