Many opportunities exist in the future to enhance current services and create new ones. • Data services • Software downloads • Content downloads • Enhanced vehicle diagnosis & repair • Expansion into other dimensions of vehicle lifecycle (manufacturing, vehicle development, design) • Key enablers for future services/growth • Communications bandwidth • Coverage (wireless) • Vehicle penetration • Vehicle integration (messaging) • Reduced costs (hardware, service) • Standards (Bluetooth, vehicle messaging) Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
There are many “pieces of the puzzle” which create value in telematics. • Marketing of services (education of consumers) • Integration of services (menu structures) • Integration of equipment into vehicle (human/machine interface) • Connection of vehicles to content (wireless) • Conversion of data into services (back office) • Content providers (vehicle data, entertainment) Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
Competition among service providers is seldom one-to-one; each player has a slightly different offering. • OEM-owned telematics service providers (OnStar) • Aftermarket devices (LoJack, NetworkCar, Mobile Guardian) • Independent telematics providers – retail (ATX, Cross Country) • Independent telematics providers – fleet (Qualcomm OmniTRACS, @Road) • Voice portals (TellMe, BeVocal, Internet Speech, AOL By Phone) • Cell phone voice services (Verizon, Sprint) • Auto club services (AAA) Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
In addition, each piece of the telematics value chain has its own set of players. • Content • TeleAtlas, NavTech, MetroNetworks • CNN, Disney, ESPN • Operating systems (Microsoft, Java, Linux) • Vehicle hardware (Delphi, Nokia, Samsung) • Voice recognition (Nuance, Speechworks, IBM) • Call centers (EDS, GE, Cross Country) • Business Operations (Digitas, Acxiom, Sigma) Issues in partner selection: • Volume capability • Support capability (established firm?) • Exclusivity • Flexibility Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
Finally, there are a variety of wireless technologies that can be applied to telematics. • Cell (Analog, CDMA, GSM; voice, data/SMS) • Short-range communications (Bluetooth) • Medium-range communications (802.11) • Satellite communications (Boeing Thuraya, XM Radio, Sirius) Issues in technology selection: • Level of ubiquity • Reliability of technology • Upgradability • Level of control over provider (multiple sourcing) Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
Challenges – Hardware/Technology • “Clockspeed” mismatch • Telematics services (1-6 months) • Consumer electronics (6-18 months) • Vehicle development process (3-5 years) • Vehicle ownership lifecycle (6-15 years) • Shifts in technology (analog digital) • Technology application (client vs. server) Challenges – Societal • Government regulation (FCC – E911) • Interface with emergency service providers Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
Challenges – Strategic/Financial • High cost of infrastructure • Investment = control • Involvement of multiple partners • Packaging of services • Wide variety of customer needs/wants • Consumer confusion • Selection of business model • Upfront equipment sales • Service subscription • Grow critical market mass • Operating efficiencies • Licensing/royalties Telematics – 040109 LFM webcast.ppt
Examples of Business Models “In Play” • i-Mode DoCoMo: Define platform for 3rd party software development: monthly revenue from: basic service, data traffic and fee from 3rd party service providers • Microsoft: Create the OS for vehicles that becomes the standard that all future consumer telematics applications must be built off of • OnStar: Seed network through factory-installation onboard vehicles purchases • Cell Co’s: Compete based on lowest price to service quality ratio • TiVo: Charge monthly service fee upfront at a discount • Palm/PDA: Define & market hardware & OS; nurture application developers. Make alliances with Cell Co’s. • Dell: Least expensive, custom-assembled modular systems based on commodity components • Leverage COTS Components: eg Apple iPod: Over 1M people have been willing to pay $300-500 for the 5-40GB drives.
