JLR and Tata Communications are set to enhance JLR's connected vehicle ecosystem, transforming the driving experience for customers worldwide through the Tata Communications MOVE™ platform. The collaboration will empower JLR's next-generation software-defined vehicles with continuous connectivity and access to intelligent services even in the remotest locations across 120 countries. The latest collaboration is an extension of their existing partnership to future-proof the carmaker's digital transformation.
Leveraging Tata Communications MOVE™ platform, JLR's upcoming medium-sized SUVs built on the new Electric Modular Architecture (EMA) will seamlessly transition between mobile networks and operators, enabling non-stop access to personalised connected services, such as media streaming. The platform will also enable greater and more secure data exchange between JLR and its customers' vehicles, delivering more efficient software over-the-air (SOTA) updates and supporting the rollout of evolving advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Every day, JLR's fleet of connected vehicles generates 2.5 terabytes (TB) of data, with half a million electronic control units (ECUs) updated per month on average over the last 12 months. The use of Tata Communications MOVE™ platform will increase this data exchange and enable JLR engineers to harness deeper insights, monitor vehicle performance in real-time, and enable more prompt updates over the air to improve vehicle maintenance and servicing, reducing costs for the car owners and JLR.
The advanced vehicles, expected to hit the roads in 2026, will deliver a smarter and more intelligent driving experience.
The introduction of the Tata Communications MOVE™ will offer JLR customers:
• Resilient wireless communication technologies to help track vehicles in the most demanding environments
• Increased and more frequent vehicle software updates delivered over the air to improve vehicle diagnostics and updates
• Tailored connections will keep customers and their families connected to their preferred applications and vehicle features, wherever they are in the world
• Simplified and effortless connectivity plans, accessible via a single provider
