Verizon Business inks 5G connected-vehicle deal with teledriving car-share company Vay
24 Septiembre 2024 - 7:00AM
Verizon Business and Vay Technology today announced an agreement
bringing Verizon 5G connectivity to Vay’s fleet of teleoperated
electric vehicles. The deal also includes custom data plans to help
manage massive amounts of data generated by Vay vehicles’ sensors
and cameras.
“Vay’s unique operational model shows the importance of mobile
connectivity for the future of transportation. From Vay’s app-based
user interface to their high-tech teledriving command centers to
the vehicle fleet itself, connectivity touches all corners of the
business,” said TJ Fox, Senior Vice President of Industrial IoT and
Automotive, Verizon Business. “We’re thrilled to work with a
company as innovative as Vay, which can use our unrivaled network
to fuel their expansions throughout the U.S.”
“Verizon’s technology has been critical for Vay’s entry into the
U.S. market from Europe, and we look forward to continuing our
relationship with them as we expand our commercial and B2B
businesses,” said Thomas von der Ohe, Vay co-founder and CEO.
“Verizon’s coverage, performance and network reliability are
essential for handling the data load inherent to teleoperating our
fleet to the highest standards of safety and capability.”
Vay currently operates its commercial service in Las Vegas,
where users can order an electric car via the Vay app and have it
delivered to them by a Vay teledriver. While in the car, the users
drive themselves, just like in a regular car. When the trip is
complete, they end the rental in the app, exit the vehicle, and a
Vay teledriver remotely drives it to the next customer.
High-performance, low-latency Verizon 5G connectivity helps enable
this operational model.
Verizon connectivity is used for data-intensive,
mission-critical workloads such as providing mobility solutions for
teleoperation-capable cars; transmitting telematics or diagnostic
information from vehicles to Vay and/or Vay customers; and
transmitting over-the-air updates to software and firmware in Vay
vehicles.
