Telematics Control Unit
In today’s era, the automotive industry has started to blend completely with environmental information and technologies for navigation, vehicular electronics, and wireless intelligence. Telematics is one such field of change that refers to a wireless communication system that is used to transmit data to and fro between automobiles. In general, it refers to the use of onboard diagnostics and the Global Positioning System (GPS) in monitoring the movement of any asset such as a vehicle or machinery. The info transmission mediators in this case are back-office systems that retrieve and push required data between vehicles via a matrix of mobile and satellites or a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) that works on such technology, where data can be related to weather, stock market, maps, location, vehicle speed, engine data, connection quality, position, acceleration, battery voltage, oxygen sensor, transmission fluid, etc.
A TCU is an embedded device linking the automobile’s subsystems to particular cloud storage and even other vehicles via the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) wireless technology that runs on data and control buses. Another great feature that it offers is in-vehicle networking that may occur through Bluetooth and Wireless Fidelity connections and even VoIP eCalls. Its basic components consist simply of a Telematic Control Module, a microcontroller, mobile networking and storage units, navigation system, electrical signal processors, and an external communication unit. Custom telematics software is useful for sending crash notifications, tolling, and vehicle tracking. It connects people, vehicles, logistic operations, processes by enhancing safety, efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs through notable insights. It records vehicle speed, fuel consumption, tire pressure and other details as well as provides visualization of such insights for improving driving habits.

Service Offerings
Our TCUs will enable and support your in-vehicle, V2V and V2X communications through improved sensing processors, noise reduction, and vehicle diagnostics. Data transmission between automobiles becomes completely reliable and swift with our enhanced security and on-board connection protocols.
So much so that enabling fleet management and handling the vehicle’s operation become comparatively easier and safer with imbibed safety regulations. Gone are the days of long hours of maintenance diagnostics and long-term planning of inspections, for our customized telematics solutions which can track service records, checkpoints of guaranteed recovery, engine usage hours, and guide you to root causes of operational or communication failure, if not avoid, cutting your overall costs.
