Delphi and Autonet Mobile Announce Agreement to Develop and Market Mobile Internet Connectivity for Vehicles

Delphi Chooses Autonet Mobile for New Internet-Based Telematics & Media Platform

Delphi Corporation (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) and Autonet Mobile announced an agreement today to market and develop Internet-connectivity technology products for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Delphi and Autonet Mobile are developing the next generation telematics platform that will deliver entertainment, downloadable content and many other forms of media that will generate a new ecosystem of revenue for OEMs.

The two companies are field testing new telematics and in-car entertainment products using Internet-based media services designed on the Autonet Mobile network architecture. Delphi and Autonet Mobile will also be hardening communication connections to automotive grade to meet current OEM requirements. Additionally, the two companies will provide demonstration vehicles equipped with the new technology for OEMs and consumer market testing.

“Customers want flexibility and convenience while they are in their vehicles,” said Tom Puza, managing director of telematics at Delphi Electronics & Safety Division. “We believe our experience in providing electronics products that withstand tough automotive environments and our expertise in electronics systems integration of hardware and software will be valuable in taking this technology to the next level with OEM customers.”

Optimized for the in-car experience and for minimal interruption, Autonet Mobile turns vehicles into secure mobile WiFi hot spots. The company’s patent-pending TRU Technology is designed to keep passengers connected in a moving vehicle. The technology helps to eliminate the “dropped call” syndrome. Vehicle passengers stay connected to the Internet with any WiFi device while on the road. The technology provides access to e-mail, web information, games and other Internet-based activities. Adult passengers can access weather reports and traffic conditions, make dinner or movie reservations or shop online, while children in the back seat can complete homework, care for their Webkinz pets or play online games.

“Early on we recognized that new applications and new ways to communicate would form around the car,” said Sterling Pratz, CEO of Autonet Mobile. “Together with Delphi our service and technology delivers next generation entertainment systems and allows automotive manufacturers to enter the lucrative market of downloadable content and Internet media services – which previously only existed on millions of handsets and home computing devices. We see a future where providing Internet for the car will change the face of in-car entertainment products and services provided by the automotive industry.”

A leader in providing electronics technologies that meet rugged automotive standards, Delphi provides vehicle entertainment systems and information for one and two-way voice and data links from the vehicle to terrestrial and satellite networks.

Delphi has produced more than 283 million mobile radios and introduced an array of new wireless technologies to OEMs. In the last 25 years, Delphi has been at the forefront in the introduction of multi-speaker, multi-amp premium audio, CD playbacks, DVD rear seat video, MP3 playbacks, advanced TV reception systems and satellite radio into the market. Delphi supplies both OEM and retail hardware for satellite radio providers. For more information about Delphi, visit www.delphi.com.
