Avanci Aftermarket

Licensing aftermarket products for vehicles

Avanci Aftermarket provides a one-stop licensing program for vehicle aftermarket products utilizing 4G, 3G, and 2G cellular communications.

It addresses the need for connectivity in vehicles sold without it, allowing consumers and logistics operations to use aftermarket devices.

These products include those that add infotainment capabilities to older vehicles, as well as devices with dedicated wireless connections for specific functions like vehicle monitoring, toll collection, and fleet management.

The program offers licenses for connected devices installed after the original sale of a vehicle, as well as for trailers and containers.

FAQs – We’re doing things in a new way

Our focus on making things easy means we’re always here to answer your questions.

Vehicle aftermarket products are devices meant to be installed and/or used primarily in or on a container or vehicle, that are not present during the initial manufacture of the container or vehicle, and that provide wireless connectivity

These are connected devices with the capability to download apps, play audio content or other entertainment, access Internet-enabled content such as traffic or weather conditions, and provide network connectivity for a wireless local area network such as a Wi-Fi hot spot.

This is the most inclusive category and includes any product that can do more than monitoring but does not provide infotainment services. On board units and computers that communicate with other vehicles, ticket machines and ticket printers and other fleet management devices such as taxi dispatch systems, dash-cams, and toll collection devices with user interface for presenting information to the driver fall into this category.

These are connected devices that are only capable of monitoring and/or reporting on the performance, activity, location, usage, driving characteristics, or faults of a vehicle or container but without a user interface for receiving or presenting any information to anyone traveling with or inside the vehicle or container, and without the ability to control the operation of the vehicle or container.
