Abstract
SBD provides an all-encompassing survey and analysis of in-vehicle Bluetooth
technology in a three-part report package which highlights the opportunities
for vehicle manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers to profit from wider deployment
of technology across model ranges.
The three principle areas reported on are:
- 1) Market trends for integrating Bluetooth in vehicles
- 2) Emerging profiles and technical features
- 3) Next-generation short range technologies
To add further value, all subscribers to the report will also receive SBD' s
latest specialist database (worth £900) surveying OE Bluetooth feature
absolutely FREE! The database is a complete reference guide to the suppliers,
system configurations and features for Bluetooth systems offered by all
vehicle manufacturers on a model-by-model basis absolutely free!
