Connected cars and autonomous vehicles along with shared mobility offers require optimal global high-performance connectivity.
End customers increasingly expect digital services such as infotainment offerings or in-car WiFi.
Climate-friendly electromobility is the focal point of the future in the automobile industry.
Connectivity is the basis of tomorrow’s mobility. It is the essential foundation for connected cars, autonomous driving, shared mobility services and much more. We contribute not only comprehensive expertise in connecting cities and people in the street. We also provide optimal connections around the world to enable our solutions to be integrated simply. Our professional, tried and trusted implementation management will accompany you from planning to successful implementation. Our tailor-made solutions for the swap process have already proved their worth in the market on many occasions.Even in countries where local regulations do not permit permanent data roaming, we can connect your project through partnerships and local connectivity approaches. Our global network of data centers ensures that the data from your IoT project is processed with the greatest level of failure security and the least possible latency.
From sensors that measure distances and artificial intelligence that can assess traffic situations and respond to them to the connectivity that interlinks all these processes, autonomous driving depends on this technology and on it interacting smoothly.
Shared mobility holds forth the promise of lower CO2 emissions, less congested roads and a comfortable user experience regardless of which means of transportation is involved. For the principle to work, however, the underlying technology – network, platforms, etc. – must be right.
Environmentally harmful combustion engines will soon be on the way out. We must now pave the way for electromobility, which is easier on the climate, in cars themselves and in the infrastructure too. That is a project which can only succeed by dint of joint endeavors.
The connected cars of the future will communicate with their entire surroundings (Car2x). They will share data with other vehicles (Car2Car), with the smartphones of drivers and pedestrians (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian, V2P), and with the traffic infrastructure (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure, V2I). This data includes wide-ranging sensor technology. We provide the technology to enable you to connect your cars.
Globally networked vehicles and successful IoT projects depend on reliable networks to deliver, say, Over-the-Air (OTA) updates or to provide in-car WiFi. With roaming, local solutions and customized tariffs we are at your service wherever you would like to take your business forward digitally. Click here for an overview of our international network.
The car of tomorrow is connected. Our HotSpot Drive and MobilityConnect solutions provide you with the ideal network for calls and data traffic on the go. The vehicle’s antenna ensures excellent voice quality, while your passengers can stream music or videos in the highest resolution with up to 10 devices simultaneously via the integrated 5G hotspot. Calls and internet connection work immediately when you get in the car – no log-in or smartphone necessary. And should you change vehicles, HotSpot Drive and MobilityConnect automatically transfer your settings and services.
Clear communication and fast response times are crucial for global IoT projects. With PRISMA (Performance Reporting International Service Management Application), we offer you exactly that: a team of experts as a central point of contact, a web-based management system for transparency and performance monitoring, as well as premium support for emergencies. We make IoT projects simple and secure for you.
Global IoT applications such as autonomous driving or Car2Car communication require fast response times. Our solution: Regional Packet Gateways. Instead of routing data around the world, we route it to our globally distributed gateways, resulting in extremely low latencies. Prioritized quality of service classes ensure that critical data is prioritized. The result: 60 % lower latency and 100 % higher data throughput for your IoT project.
Security requirements are often diverse in complex IoT projects. For example, data from a wide variety of sensors must be managed securely in a networked car. We offer a solution: using individual Access Point Names (APN), we can strictly separate data streams from one another with a SIM card. This allows us to comply with security and legal regulations in different countries without increasing the complexity of the project.
HotSpot Drive provides fast WLAN in your car at all times. Whether passengers need internet to read emails, take video calls or use streaming services – HotSpot Drive provides a stable internet connection at all times. The external antenna provides a high-quality connection, far exceeding that of a smartphone.
Autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems must be able to react to their surroundings almost in real time. Data processing latencies should therefore be as low as possible. Our powerful Edge Computing infrastructure brings its computing power as close as possible to your vehicles so that your data does not have to be rerouted via the cloud.
From navigation devices to drones and augmented reality games – many IoT applications require highly precise positioning data. To achieve this accuracy, Deutsche Telekom and Swift Navigation have set up a network of reference stations in Europe and the USA. These detect deviations in GPS data and provide correction data via the cloud. This enables us to reduce the inaccuracy of satellite navigation systems and determine the position of IoT devices to an accuracy of less than ten centimetres.
Sharing cars is a sustainable mobility concept with a future. More and more people use carsharing facilities and at the same time expect outstanding usability – usability provided, say, by mobile apps that simplify processes such as booking and unlocking. With MobilityConnect we ensure that your cars integrate seamlessly into the digitized daily lives of their users.
Carsharing is only one aspect of shared mobility. Courier services are another. IoT ensures a decisive advantage over the competition because, for example, customers can see the precise position of the car requested live on their smartphone after booking it on that very device.
Society and politicians increasingly expect mobility to be climate-friendly. Taxes on CO2 emissions are hiked and electric vehicles are subsidized (by Germany’s Electromobility Act). The industry and with it the vehicle manufacturers must also answer ethical questions on environmental and climate protection if they are to remain successful. Our corporate charging solutions enable you to head for a sustainable future with charging stations for EVs on campus or at the premises of your customers or dealers. We will take care of consulting, planning, installation, and maintenance – and thanks to our modular end-to-end portfolio you will benefit from maximum flexibility.

MobilityConnect is a comprehensive Telekom connectivity solution for cars. It brings telephony and a hotspot into the vehicle so that drivers and passengers can comfortably stream music and videos and game or phone online without a smartphone. 5G support delivers more speed for streaming, gaming, etc. Thanks to a portable eSIM module users can simply take their personal settings with them when switching vehicle.
Shared Mobility basically means shared use of vehicles. Either several people use a vehicle at the same time, aka ride sharing, or they use it one after another, as in carsharing or bikesharing. Shared Mobility covers a range of vehicles, from cars and e-scooters to e-bikes and bicycles.
Mobility as a Service means offering people comprehensive access to mobility services with the result that they no longer need vehicles of their own. Mobility as a Service includes public transportation such as buses and trains and pooled vehicles such as e-scooters and taxis. The basic principle is the same as that of other as-a-service offerings like Software as a Service. Instead of owning the equipment needed for the service in question, such as a car, providers supply them. Users merely make use of the service: the mobility or the transportation.
Autonomous driving means that the car is fully automated and drives to a destination without human interaction. The vehicle reacts dynamically and almost in real time to its surroundings, these being road signs or other cars and pedestrians. Autonomous driving is the highest possible level of automatic driving. Below it is automated driving, with the vehicle assisting the driver only in certain situations. A car with electronic distance meters or distance warning devices, for example, always keeps a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, while cars with parking assist systems take care of the parking.
The kinds of V2 communication include the following:
Autonomous Driving can be divided into five stages or levels:
Level 1: Assisted Driving.
Drivers drive the car themselves. In certain instances they are assisted by vehicle systems such as a speed control.
Level 2: Partially Automated Driving.
Here too it is mainly the human who does the driving, but the car handles certain maneuvers itself. A parking assist system is a Level 2 feature, s are a number of other driver assist systems (Advanced Driver Assistant System, ADAS).
Level 3: Highly Automated Driving.
At this stage the car performs more complicated or extensive activities without human interaction. It can drive, for example, on its own on the freeway, braking, overtaking, and stopping in an emergency situation. Manufacturers define the scenarios. Drivers may be able to ignore the road ahead for a moment but they must be prepared to take over full control at any time.
Level 4: Fully Automated Driving.
Level 4 cars do most of the driving themselves. They can drive in city traffic or on the freeway, and they can also drive round a multistory car park, find an empty space and park in it. Construction sites are no longer a problem. In an emergency the driver must take over. If he or she doesn’t or can’t do so, a Level 4 car stops in a safe place, such as at a rest area.
Level 5: Autonomous Driving.
Only at the highest level is the term autonomous driving used. The difference between it and Level 4 is that autonomous vehicles no longer have a driver, only passengers. They no longer need a steering wheel, gas pedal or brake, and none are provided.
C.A.S.E. transformation refers to further development of the automobile industry, vehicles, and mobility in general. C.A.S.E. stands for the four key areas Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric. Connectivity, digitization, and sustainability are key aspects of C.A.S.E. transformation.
Shared mobility generally refers to the shared use of vehicles. This can mean that several people use a means of transport at the same time – known as ridesharing – or that they use it one after another, as is common with carsharing or bikesharing. Shared mobility includes various types of transport, from cars and e-scooters to e-bikes and bicycles.
The incentives on offer for electric vehicle will vary subject to political decisions. Until 2025 there will be an innovation premium in Germany, the state’s share of which is twice the previous environmental bonus. When you buy a new EV the subsidy can amount to € 9,000, or up to € 6,750 for a plugin hybrid. Leasing an EV is also subsidized. By how much? That depends inter alia on the car’s list price and the leasing term, but it can amount to a three- or a midrange four-digit sum. Incentives are also available for installing domestic charging stations and for corporate e-charging solutions. They are funded by the KfW Bank and by the federal and state governments.
A Connected Car is connected with other vehicles via a network and can also be connected and share data with electronic devices such as smartphones or laptops and even with the traffic infrastructure. This connection is based on the Internet of Things.
