LGU+ Thinkware Unveils '2nd Generation iNavi Connected Pro'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus and Thinkware are unveiling the significantly enhanced ‘2nd Generation iNavi Connected Pro Service.’

According to LG Uplus on the 20th, the ‘2nd Generation iNavi Connected Pro Service’ is a service that links a black box equipped with ‘LTE-M1’ communication functionality with the customer's smartphone to provide real-time vehicle information through an app. ‘LTE-M1’ is a wireless communication technology that uses LTE frequencies to transmit small amounts of data at low speeds, with low power consumption, allowing use for several years without battery concerns.

The main features include ▲‘Emergency SOS Notification,’ which sends an emergency message to pre-registered family or acquaintances in case of an emergency while driving ▲‘Driving Record Check,’ which allows viewing of the driver’s driving history and habits such as driving distance, sudden acceleration/deceleration, and speeding locations ▲‘Smart Remote Video Playback,’ which enables immediate viewing of footage when an external impact on the vehicle occurs, with enhanced smartphone linkage functions. Additionally, ▲‘Intelligent Driving Control Service’ has been added, which provides accident information, weather and fine dust data, and disaster information along the driving route through AI-based data analysis.

The ‘2nd Generation iNavi Connected Pro Service’ will be applied to Thinkware’s newly released ‘iNavi QXD 5000’ product. Currently, the connected service is supported on 21 black box products. In the future, Thinkware plans to gradually expand the connected service application models to iNavi black box products released by the company. Customers who purchase the connected service package can use the service free of charge for two years without additional communication fees. To commemorate the launch of the ‘iNavi QXD 5000,’ a promotion is being held from the 20th to May 31, extending the free usage period to three years for customers who purchase the package.

Oh Young-hyun, head of LG Uplus’s wireless business division, said, “With the launch of the ‘2nd Generation iNavi Connected Pro Service,’ we will strive to continuously provide new services and conveniences to customers based on customer usage data by combining wireless communication technology not only with black boxes but also with products in various industries.”
