CalAmp , a pure-play pioneer of Internet of Things (IoT) enablement solutions, and Autobrain, a connected car platform that turns any car into a smart car in minutes, today announced the integration of CalAmp’s plug-and-play OBD devices and telematics systems into Autobrain’s platform. Consumers can purchase CalAmp-supported Autobrain devices online now or at major retail establishments across the United States starting on July 1, 2017.
There are more than 200 million consumer vehicles in the United States that can benefit from aftermarket connected car services to gain significant boosts in safety and security. CalAmp’s telematics technology systems and platforms help fortify these consumer services with more reliable location tracking, expanded vehicle health intelligence and greater driver behavior assessment. As a result, Autobrain will be able to better provide safety and peace of mind for drivers and their loved ones.
CalAmp’s many years of experience deploying telematics solutions for commercial vehicle fleets provides a unique foundation for enabling expanding and rapidly evolving consumer connected car services. PEG and PULS, two proven technologies at the core of CalAmp’s telematics offerings, power its highly configurable devices with extensive embedded features that can be updated and expanded over-the-air. These systems along, with broad OBD technology vehicle coverage and feature sets, enable partners like Autobrain to rapidly launch, scale and continually innovate their connected car services.
“CalAmp has an exceptionally talented team, combined with the most advanced telematics offering in the space,” stated Jeremy Gelbart, co-founder and CEO of Autobrain. “Their proven technology and ability to meet our evolving feature set is second to none and we are proud to be working with them to deliver the latest innovations to the auto-tech market.”
