Connected Car Service Providers to Reap $17B in 2018 as GM, BMW, Tesla and Others Ramp Smart AppsCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its new Connected Car M2M Connections and Services market size and forecasts report, which focuses on the telecom-related services available for automotive applications, fleet management, and telematics, as well as the business models and trends that are driving the connected car machine-to-machine (M2M) market. ANALYST NOTE "Unlike the smart grid vertical, which favors 2G technology to keep usage cheap, or connected cameras, which require at least 3G and ideally 4G technology for good quality, the connected car vertical is able to make use of every generation of cellular technology available. This means that just about any communications service provider, whether they have 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE (News - Alert) or a combination of technologies, can find a niche in the connected car space," says Godfrey Chua, directing analyst for M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT) at Infonetics Research. Chua adds: "Next-gen 3G and 4G technologies are paving the way for improved interactivity, video, real-time analytics, and other smart apps in the connected car space-and thus a greater probability for service adoption. LTE will be the fastest-growing cellular technology in cars, expanding 135% annually between 2014 and 2018. A major boon will come from AT&T's agreement with GM to deploy LTE for the OnStar service."
