Connecting Cars: Bring your own Device - Tethering Challenges
February 23, 2013 | mAutomotive | Whitepaper | GSMAAutomakers and mobile operators are striving to make the connected car a reality on a large scale. These efforts to make consumer services seamless, using different connectivity options, pose many challenges. GSMA has been working closely with operators and automakers in overcoming existing barriers to embedded connectivity (built-in modem with a dedicated SIM).
While the challenges facing embedded technology are being addressed, tethered solutions (based upon IP sharing) are being considered by automakers. Tethering advocates note that tethering could help to seed the market for some connected services, increase consumer understanding and adoption, and hence create a strong foundation for making the shift to embedded connectivity in the future.

Bluetooth® Interoperability Requirements for Auto Industry Agreed
November 5, 2012 | mAutomotive | Whitepaper | GSMAOn 16th October 2012 the GSMA Terminal Steering Group (TSG) announced the publication of the Bluetooth® Interoperability Requirements for Mobile Terminals (TS.19) .
This document represents a significant step in realising genuine collaboration, in support of BT profiles, between automakers, handset manufacturers and mobile operators. Whilst the handset manufacturer and operator collaboration is long established, it was necessary to seek input from the car industry as the GSMA TSG were seeking to specifically enhance Bluetooth support and the end user experience for in-car connectivity.
The result of this collaboration has been very tangible. As one example; initially handset vendors, whose design cycle is significantly shorter than the 3 years or so of the auto industry, were looking to immediately remove support for BT DUN profiles. BT DUN profiles are a common (and sometimes sole mechanism) for providing tethering solutions with automakers. Through collaborative dialogue a compromise solution has been met, which includes the support of DUN until 2015.
The GSMA Connected Car Forum was delighted to cooperate with the GSMA TSG to address the BT interoperability, in cooperation with the Consumer Electronics for Automotive (CE4A). To read the GSMA Bluetooth® Interoperability Requirements for Mobile Terminals, v1.0 (TS.19) please click here.
