NextGen is the world’s most complete provider of mobile device interoperability services. In this video we examine NextGen's work in the field of automotive interoperability and the burgeoning challenges of the connected car.
Today the car is part of the Internet of Everything, an extension to the connected world. And as we move relentlessly towards the day when we are merely passengers in our self-driving cars, the challenge of designing and delivering in-car connectivity, entertainment, information and on-demand services gets bigger and more complex.
The car is becoming a node on vast networks that enable data-provision, data exchange, tracking and payment systems, vehicle-to-vehicle as well as person-to person communication and navigation.
Global car manufacturers are now facing an entirely new challenge – aligning their world with the world of the Internet, the world of connectivity, the world where the car is so much more than a means of transport. This is where NextGen can assist, in the merger of the mobile and automotive worlds.
To enable the connected car ecosystem to emerge and evolve, both the car companies and the mobile device companies need new operating processes, and they need highly specialised expertise to mesh the automotive world and the online world. NextGen is the interface between the car makers and the mobile world.
NextGen’s global footprint guarantees always-on support, with offices in India, the USA, China, Europe, Japan and Korea, NextGen provides the 24x7x365 support needed by global car companies and their customers. NextGen covers all time zones, tests local devices in every market.

Connected car means more than just an Internet connection. As the connected car evolves into a key element of the Internet of Things, the car buyer looks increasingly to connected services via the Internet and apps. Application developers and car companies alike are looking to address the demand for useful, informative or entertaining apps that engage the lifestyle and imagination of today’s car buyer.
