Telecoms operators and car networking are more than just the internet

Recently in China Unicom's cooperation with Tesla, the hardware again invented an interview with the Chinese Unicom Marketing department general manager Xiang, he talked about a lot of China Unicom in the car networking layout and ideas. China Unicom is at the forefront of the cooperation between operators and auto manufacturers.

At the same time, let me feel that the role of operators in the auto market will not only provide Internet services so simple, in Sichuan unicom display Services, has included vehicle tracking, real-time road conditions, and many operators have the advantage of intervention, users have the content of demand.

The following are the main points:

1, this charge cooperation, involving in 20 cities to build a super charging station, another 120 cities to build 400 destinations charging station. Prior to that, Unicom confirmed its cooperation with Tesla on the 3G/4G network on April 22. Other forms of cooperation, Xiang said are trying.

2, when it comes to the choice of cooperation, Xiang believes that a common feature of mobile phones and cars will be the things we can not leave in life, but also are mobile terminals.

3, the current operator network and the mode of cooperation of the car is generally, the depot factory contains 2 years of communication costs, and then renew their own fees. Will car terminals and operators co-operate, like mobile phones, to provide fee subsidies? Xiang that the cost of the car is not the problem for the owner.

4, the current unicom has and more than 20 cars in the car networking has cooperation, the main mode of cooperation, including navigation built-in, remote customer service, real-time road conditions and other localized services; The typical representative is BMW.

5. Other aspects of cooperation, navigation is now a focus of discussion between the two sides. Tesla's entry into the Chinese market has now been criticized for having no local vehicle navigation service.

6, in the cooperative charging station point of Point, is mainly the location of relatively concentrated people, while taking into account the power supply, success and traffic conditions.

Construction form for China Unicom to provide the origin, Tesla to build. Tesla's super charging stations are now free for owners to use.

7, through and depot cooperation, built-in network and services, operators such as Unicom have become the one side of the relative concentration of data in the car network, the application of large data, Xiang that at this stage more cautious attitude, mainly in the information collection stage, the latter possibility includes open to a reliable third-party developers to tap the potential of large data , but one prerequisite is to protect data security and user privacy.

8, auto Internet has become a big demand for the car market now, Xiang said that there are now before and after the installation of two market direction, the general front of the market is and car companies, 4S shop cooperation, preset 2 years of service. After the installation of the market is through repair shops, 4S stores to provide users with demand.

This is the first time with the operator more detailed discussion of the contents of the car network, give me the impression of these points:

1, the car Internet has been very close to us, the development is very fast, the future may not only the car itself online equipment, will also become a network hotspot is also possible.

2, operators and manufacturers of large data, cloud computing concepts such as the current is very pragmatic attitude, not talking about concepts, but into the actual prophase data accumulation stage.
