Abstract
Embedded SIMs within cars to reach market saturation by 2025 ...
Vehicle manufacturers are today faced with a large number of options for
enabling connected cars, and must balance often conflicting factors. SBD's
latest report The impact of changing M2M strategies on the Connected
Car clarifies the different solutions for enabling connected car services
and their adoption in China, Europe and the USA.
Fully embedded strategies continue to play an important role for enabling
connectivity within the car and this report analyses the trends contributing
to the sustained growth of embedded SIMs :
- Market trends - various mandates and legislations driving fitment of
embedded SIMs
- Technical trends - the emergence of reprogrammable SIMs
- Network trends - the transition from 2G to 3G/4G
- Pricing trends - improvements in roaming plans & data buckets
- Strategic trends - the changing role of the telecoms industry in the
connected car value chain
Finally the report provides recommendations for vehicle manufacturers, telecom
operators and telecom service providers on how to transition embedded SIMs
from niche to mass-market in a profitable and sustainable way.
This report will help you:
- Understand the future trends for embedded SIMs so that you can
develop long-term connectivity strategies
- Discover new ways to overcome the pricing challenges associated with
embedded SIMs
- Gain deeper insight into how telecom operators are evolving their
services and how this will impact the automotive world.
