Overview

The Roots of “Telematics”

The word 'Telematics' is an artificial word composed of 'tele' from telecommunications and 'matics' from informatics. It comprises various technologies that have been later combined leading to a whole new range of services.

By combining the capabilities of modern communication and the processing power of modern computers with the rapidly evolving sensors and actors, the basis for Telematics is provided.

The Areas of 'Telematics'

The seven most important areas are:

• Automotive
• Logistics
• In-house
• Security
• Environment and Energy
