SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Jan. 22, 2025 – Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Tata Communications have joined forces to redefine the connected car experience. This partnership will leverage the Tata Communications Move platform to enhance JLR's connected vehicle ecosystem, bringing unparalleled connectivity and services to customers worldwide.
Enhancing Connectivity for Next-Generation Vehicles
JLR is committed to developing next-generation software-defined vehicles (SDVs) that offer seamless connectivity and access to a wide range of services, even in the most remote corners of the globe. Through this collaboration with Tata Communications, JLR's upcoming medium-size SUVs, built on the new Electric Modular Architecture, will be equipped with the Move platform. This platform will allow vehicles to seamlessly transition between mobile networks and operators, ensuring uninterrupted access to personalized connected services.
A Seamless and Personalized Connected Experience
Imagine streaming your favorite music or accessing real-time traffic updates without interruption, no matter where your journey takes you. With the Tata Communications Move platform, this will become a reality for JLR customers. The platform will enable secure data exchange between JLR and its vehicles, facilitating efficient software over-the-air (SOTA) updates and supporting the rollout of evolving Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Unlocking the Power of Data
JLR's connected vehicles generate a staggering 2.5 terabytes of data every day. Over the past year, an average of half a million Electronic Control Units (ECUs) have been updated per month. The new platform will further increase this data exchange, empowering JLR engineers to extract deeper insights, monitor vehicle performance in real-time, and deliver more prompt updates over the air.
