In-Car Communication Consulting
There are two common ways for in-car call connections: Bluetooth and smart platforms, which are widely adopted by car manufacturers. However, call quality is the key factor after a successful connection.
Allion Labs provides testing and verification consulting services to ensure the car system can operate normally and maintain a certain quality under the hands-free call mode, referring to three standards set by ITU-T: P.1100, P.1110, and P.1120.
InquiryVoice control has become a popular feature for drivers, allowing them to navigate, play music, and make phone calls hands-free. However, a poor communication experience can distract drivers and pose safety risks.
In addition to Bluetooth connections, car manufacturers are increasingly adopting platform systems like CarPlay, Android Auto, and CarLife for in-car calls. However, maintaining call quality and ensuring a positive user experience remains a challenge. Allion has over 16 years of experience in the car electronics ecosystem and offers a range of professional verification technologies to assist customers in maintaining call quality and ensuring user satisfaction. Our consulting services can effectively solve any problems related to in-car communication and contribute to safer driving experiences.
