Breakthrough telematics solution enables cost-effective, simple installation and enforcement Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 6 May, 2008 - NXP and Siemens Mobility have reached an agreement to technically collaborate with each other in order to develop NXP's new ATOP (Automotive Telematics On Board Unit Platform) into the 'single chip on-board unit' system based on GPS and GSM. Once it is ready for the market, it is intended for use in private vehicles. ATOP can be used simply and cost-effectively as it exploits existing GPS/GSM mobile networks. It is not necessary to install expensive infrastructure such as toll stations. |
