NEWS FLASH 2000 - 28 (August 2000)
(Updated on August 16, 2000)

TECHNOLOGY

Nortel Networks, TELUS Mobility, Redknee.com Demo In-Vehicle 3G Wireless Internet

As part of a live, over-the-air cdma2000 trial that Nortel Networks and TELUS are conducting in Calgary, Canada, the two companies along with Redknee.com recently demonstrated a fully operational, in-vehicle mobile solution called AIME (Advanced Intelligent Mobile Entertainment).

AIME is a prototype in-vehicle multimedia solution that delivers the following:

  • E-commerce
  • Infotainment
  • Messaging
  • News, traffic, and weather reports
  • Location-based advertising
  • Other user-defined services

This advanced technology operates on the TELUS Mobility network using Nortel Networks’ 3G cdma2000 1XRTT Wireless Internet technology, which is designed to provide packet data transmission at speeds up to 144 kbps for ‘always’ on Internet access from mobile devices. It also uses Redknee.com’s technology that allows users to receive messages in their cars.

To ensure safety, the AIME solution limits visual information, via a computer screen, to the back seat passengers, while audio information is only available to those traveling in the front seats.

The technology should be available within two years.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: A good way of testing m-commerce and location-specific advertising solutions. We think that we need more test marketing before making huge investments in the infrastructure. 

Note: This news release may contain forward-looking statements. Readers should take appropriate caution in developing plans utilizing these products, services and technology architectures.
