ESPOO, Finland-Following on a series of recent announcements regarding wireless in-car communications, Nokia Corp. and Land Rover Wednesday said they jointly developed the Personal Telephone Integration system, an integrated automotive communications system especially for Land Rover vehicles.
The system offers connections either via Bluetooth wireless technology or by using a compatible mobile-phone holder. The companies said the PTI system can be used with a wide range of mobile phones from different manufacturers.
With the PTI System, users can conveniently access key mobile-phone functions such as viewing and selecting phonebook entries, initiating and receiving incoming calls, viewing call logs and managing text messages all through the vehicle’s central infotainment display. Voice dialing and other phone functions can be activated using the vehicles’ steering wheel controls.
New Land Rover vehicles with the PTI system are expected to be available in the fourth quarter in Europe, Asia and the USA.
