Ubiquitous Broadband Connectivity on the Move

Internet access on Europe’s highways is pretty poor. This doesn’t just annoy passengers, it also hampers mobility applications that rely on connectivity, preventing European carmakers from realising the full potential of automotive digitalisation.

Stellar is a deep-tech company that aims to revolutionise connectivity in mobility through hybrid telecommunications. The company’s ambition is to bring seamless connectivity to all vehicles, enabling reliable internet access at all times and on all roads. Stellar has therefore developed its Car-as-a-Service software, STEER, which enables seamless switching between cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite networks- while ensuring maximum service availability, packet loss free switching and aggregation of multiple networks for optimal throughput. STEER is designed to meet automotive-grade requirements for safety, reliability and cybersecurity, and can be seamlessly integrated into new car ranges. It can also be retrofitted to existing car models or even trains through a hardware module.

Benefits:

• Reliable and secure Internet access in moving vehicles such as cars and trains
• Seamless switching between cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite networks
• Integration into new models and retrofitting to existing car and train models
