TEL AVIV, Israel, February 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
VOYAGER connects drivers easily, clearly and safely
Accel Telecom [http://www.voyager.co.il ], a leading Israeli telecommunications
company, has officially launched VOYAGER, the ultimate Connected Car Smartphone device.
VOYAGER is the first standalone Connected Car Smartphone device that can be easily
installed in any car and operates using an existing phone number via a twin-SIM.
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.
