Israeli telecommunications company Accel Telecom has launched VOYAGER, a connected-car smartphone device. VOYAGER is the first standalone connected-car smartphone that can be easily installed in any car and operates using an existing phone number via a twin-SIM.
The device combines Android-based smartphone technology with an HSUPA Qualcomm module to deliver a driver-centric device that ensures safer calling, easy navigation via a dedicated Waze launcher key and multiple car-focused applications.
VOYAGER is designed to enhance safe driving with hands-free dialing, dedicated large physical keys, crystal clear, echo-free sound quality and an in-car 3G WiFi hotspot connection among the many core features. VOYAGER also connects to the car's on-board diagnostics to allow car diagnostics, fleet management applications and more.
"Our user-friendly, cost effective and secure Carfone devices have seen substantial market success," said Accel CEO Marc Seelenfreund. "We expect strong demand for the new generation VOYAGER Connected Car Smartphone device in both European and US markets in line with recent industry reports and our own research with industry influencers."
