2012 International CES -- TeleCommunication
Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly
reliable and secure mobile communication technology, and QNX
Software Systems Limited, a global leader in operating systems,
development tools, and professional services for the in-car
infotainment and telematics market, today announced that TCS will
supply advanced hybrid navigation solutions connecting the car and
mobile devices -- including dynamic turn-by-turn navigation,
mapping with virtual cities including 3D models, and destination
search -- for the QNX CAR™ 2 application platform, which QNX
Software Systems will demonstrate at CES.
"QNX is leading the industry with their QNX CAR 2 application
platform, which offers the latest technology within a powerful and
flexible framework for building connected automotive experiences,"
said Steve Petilli, senior vice president of TCS' navigation and
telematics group. "TCS has been selected by QNX Software Systems to
integrate its location applications into the platform and to
provide advanced hybrid navigation capabilities for head unit and
handset-to-head unit uses, fulfilling a demand in the telematics
space."
The integration of TCS' telematics applications and services
provides powerful, easy-to-use automotive-grade navigation for the
QNX CAR 2 application platform. With TCS NAVBuilder® technology and
APIs, customers using the platform can leverage the broad range of
advanced features and enhanced content that TCS provides and create
the next generation of automotive user experience. For example,
users can send destination data from a mobile device directly to
the navigation system, and then receive turn-by-turn, voice-guided
directions to the location. While en route, alerts for traffic
incidents or congestion will be delivered in real time. Users will
be able to request alternate route or detour options to avoid
delays, and 3D map displays will provide realistic visuals of the
route. After parking the vehicle, the user can seamlessly complete
their journey with pedestrian guidance on their mobile device.
"Increasingly, consumers want to enjoy the convenience of
advanced location-based services in their vehicles, whether it's to
find the nearest coffee shop or the service station with the lowest
gas price," said Linda Campbell, director of strategic alliances,
QNX Software Systems. "Leveraging TCS' NAVBuilder platform and
best-of-breed location-based services, we are pleased to
collaborate on enabling a connected experience that allows users to
benefit from the latest navigation data and to enjoy points of
interest updated in real time."
The QNX CAR 2 application platform integrates an array of
technologies, including the QNX® Neutrino® real-time operating
system, a re-skinnable user interface, a multimedia framework, an
acoustic processing library for hands-free systems, and smartphone
and tablet connectivity. New advancements in the platform include
an auto-centric HTML5 framework and support for TCS hybrid
navigation.

CES to learn more and view a live demonstration of hybrid
navigation on the QNX CAR 2 application platform.
