Delphi Launches 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot for Ultra-Fast In-Vehicle Wi-Fi Connectivity

Delphi Automotive PLC (NYSE: DLPH) has announced the launch of Delphi Connect with 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot, a premium version of its cloud-based automotive connectivity system with Verizon Wireless.

This car-to-cloud/cloud-to-car connectivity service provides many features that offer consumers even more ways to extend the smart technology they use at home to their cars.

Delphi and Verizon partnered last year to introduce Delphi Connect in the U.S.—a device that allows car owners to remotely control, monitor and track their vehicle in real-time via a smart device or computer. Some of these features, which can be accessed at any time and from anywhere, include vehicle tracking and car locater, car locking or unlocking, car start, delivery of vehicle health notifications and geo-fencing. The newly launched Delphi Connect with 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot provides another option for people looking for the added convenience of bringing Wi-Fi into their cars.

“Delphi Connect with 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot is real-time vehicle connectivity,” said Jeff Owens, Delphi chief technology officer. “From virtually anywhere, you can rely on Wi-Fi hotspot access at 4G LTE speed to make your vehicle as connected as your home or office.”

Easy to install, Delphi Connect simply plugs into the vehicle’s OBD II port, typically located under the steering column. The system operates through downloadable Delphi smartphone apps, available for Android 2.2 and Apple IOS 5.0 and later devices, as well as a Delphi Web portal that is compatible with Internet Explorer 7 and later, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Firefox browsers. Data transmitted through any Delphi Connect device remains secure and encrypted. The programmable nature of this product will allow Delphi to constantly improve the service and offerings in the future.
