Delphi is testing a mobile broadband infrastructure from MeshNetworks, MeshNetworks, Maitland, Fla., which would provide entertainment, navigation and web Services to vehicles traveling at highway speeds.

Delphi is evaluating MeshNetworks' technology for potential use in high-speed data delivery for in-vehicle information, entertainment and web access. These capabilities are commonly referred to as "telematics."
The trial network supports voice, video and data at broadband speeds. Planned enhancements include the addition of precision geo- location capabilities for navigation, and location-aware applications. Geo-location is provided without the use of costly GPS receivers or technology.
"MeshNetworks' mobile broadband Multi-Hopping technology is ideally suited for the telematics applications that Delphi is investigating," said Masood Garahi, chairman and CEO of MeshNetworks. "Telematics is one of the fastest growing markets for wireless technologies because it offers services that enhance in-vehicle safety, entertainment and productivity. The key to delivering these advanced services to consumers is cost-effective mobile broadband connectivity."
Engineering teams from Delphi and MeshNetworks successfully integrated MeshNetworks' technology into Delphi's development platforms running both Windows and Linux operating systems.
MeshNetworks' Multi-Hopping network technology offers non-line-of-sight broadband connectivity, while eliminating the need for towers and extensive system design.
