In brief
Hardware and cloud service must provide a compatible flow of information.
Useful to know
Bosch Automotive connectivity hub collects automotive data and provides it to related services. The solution includes on-board communication hardware, preprocessing, and transmission to the cloud environment. [1]
For a mixed fleet, the value is in the general format and access to data, not just in the presence of a mobile connection. A mounted modem does not guarantee that each service receives the necessary signals. When comparing solutions specify the specific data, frequency and compatibility. The described option of retrofitting does not mean that any external module works equally on every car.
