Next Generation Technology Enables Customers to Turn on the AC in their Car Remotely via their Smartphone.
Utilizing its new M2M service, Ooredoo has partnered with Q3SMART to offer an innovative smart car technology solution that will enable customers to switch on the air conditioning in their car via their smartphone, at any time and any distance, as part of its on-going work to transform Qatar into a “smart nation” and launch a host of pioneering, first-of-their kind services.
The service is made possible through an innovative partnership with Q3SMART, a leader in M2M solutions in the automotive sector. It works by sending data over Ooredoo’s 4G+ network, so that customers can remotely control the air conditioner in their car from any distance.
Using the new service, customers can ensure they always return to a cool environment in their car, without wasting unnecessary resources, simply by tapping a button on their phone.
The Q3SMART START service works via a secure network and connects directly with an operator, protecting the application against hacking. As well as working on Smartphones, the application can also be used with selected Smartwatches and can even be used as a car location tracking system, security car camera controlled via Smartphones and computers.
People interested in the service can view the Q3SMART company at www.Q3SMART.com, while businesses in Qatar can contact their Ooredoo Account Manager.
The Q3SMART START service is powered by Ooredoo’s “Internet of Things” (IoT) and M2M connectivity products, demonstrating the company’s commitment to providing the next generation of services to Qatar’s expanding business and technology sector.
Ooredoo is working with a range of companies across many sectors – including automotive, hospitality and manufacturing companies – to create a range of new M2M services, to bring a full range of smart services to life for the people of Qatar.
Among the bespoke solutions being developed are services that enable fleet management, remote monitoring and full automation.
Ooredoo offers a variety of data bundles ranging from 100 MB to 50 GB to support M2M, and enable data-sharing, so that companies can distribute the data allowance across as many SIM cards embedded in different machines as they need. Customers who want to see the power and potential of IoT and M2M services can do so at Ooredoo’s OASIS Lab, which is designed to enable and showcase Ooredoo Smart solutions.
