Critical Issues Surrounding Telematics Safety and Security

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5 -- Top telematics executives are looking hard for ways to bring their businesses into the black sooner rather than later. After much research, testing and analysis, as well as the hard lessons already learned, many believe that there is no one killer application that will set the telematics wheels in motion. By far the most popular telematics services offered in the USA today and for the future involve safety and security, according to the Hansen Report on Automotive Electronics.

On November 6 - 7, executives will be meeting at the Hyatt Islandia, San Diego to discuss which strategies are being implemented, what partnerships are evolving and how emerging technologies are shaping the critical issues of telematics safety and security.

Over 2 days attendees will hear speeches, case studies and participate in hands-on workshops fronted by industry leaders including Cross Country, NENA, Cue Corporation, Toyota, Sprint, Verizon and Dricoll-Wolfe.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask hard-hitting questions about Bluetooth technology advancements, how integrated systems are reducing driver distraction, what your customer really wants and real-world data results on the first ACN system unveiled this year.
