Accel Telecom launches Connected Car Smartphone

Accel Telecom, a leading Israeli telecom company has officially launched VOYAGER, the Connected Car Smartphone device.

VOYAGER is the first standalone Connected Car Smartphone device that can be easily installed in any car and operates using an existing phone

number via a twin-SIM.

VOYAGER is a dedicated Connected Car Smartphone device that provides drivers with a safer and superior Connected Car experience. 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 on-board diagnostics (OBD) to allow car diagnostics, fleet management applications and more.

At some point in the future, every car will need to be connected to the outside world through a cellular network. The most user-friendly and

secure way to enable this is by embedding a SIM card and a communication module inside the car.

Shmulik Keret, VP Waze said "VOYAGER will provide drivers with a superb Waze navigation experience and we are excited to partner with Accel

Telecom on this innovative connected car device."

Marc Seelenfreund, CEO Accel said "Our user-friendly, cost effective and secure Carfone devices have seen substantial market success. 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."
