Faced with the gradual saturation of the traditional mobile communications market, many telecom operators have begun to look beyond the mobile communications market to emerging areas. For example, last week, Verizon spent $4.8 billion to acquire Yahoo's core businesses such as digital media, advertising, and e-mail in order to develop its own Internet strategy. From the latest news, Verizon's ambition may not stop there.
According to foreign media reports, Verizon has quietly acquired Teglos, a private automotive internet of things technology company, but the price of the transaction has not been announced. In addition, there was news last week that Verizon will acquire Fleetmatics, an automotive GPS data tracking company, for $2.4 billion.
More than Verizon, as the second largest telecommunications operator in the United States, and Verizon’s main competitor, AT&T also seems to regard vehicle sales as the next potential market. In February of this year, AT&T has signed cooperation agreements with Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi, and will provide technical support for their localized networking services in the United States.
According to analysis by industry insiders, telecom operators have focused their attention on the auto market, mainly because the latter can create new market value based on the current network layout of operators. For example, many express logistics companies, their management of vehicles and employees usually require the car to access the database through a wireless network, so as to achieve real-time supervision and rational scheduling purposes. This obviously can be combined with the operator's current business and add a stable service subscription revenue to it.
According to ABI Research analyst Susan Beardslee, after the acquisition of Fleetmatics and Telogis, Verizon is likely to acquire another data security or software technology company to protect the huge car data. The industry believes that the Israeli Internet security company Argus There is a greater likelihood of a software management company, Movimento.
