    VOYAGER is a dedicated Connected Car Smartphone device that provides drivers with a
safer and superior Connected Car experience. The device combines Android based Smartphone
technology with an HSUPA Qualcomm module to deliver a driver centric device that ensures
safer calling, easy navigation via a dedicated Waze launcher key and multiple car focused
applications.

    VOYAGER is designed to enhance safe driving with hands-free dialing, dedicated large
physical keys, crystal clear, echo free sound quality and an in-car 3G WiFi Hotspot
connection among the many core features. VOYAGER also connects to the car on-board
diagnostics (OBD) to allow car diagnostics, fleet management applications and more.

    At some point in the future, every car will need to be connected to the outside world
through a cellular network. The most user-friendly and secure way to enable this is by
embedding a SIM card and a communication module inside the car.
