7 Functional Description
7.1 WLAN access point
TEM4G can act as a WLAN access point for passengers in the car.
User interface needs to be implemented in an external unit, e.g. in a head unit with display. The
WLAN access point functionality is controlled via IHU Ethernet interface.
7.2 Data gateway
TEM4G acts as a data gateway for the WLAN access point and other ECUs in the vehicle. It can
e.g. provide internet connectivity for the head unit.
The data gateway is controlled via the IHU Ethernet interface.
7.3 Positioning information
The product automatically outputs GNSS raw position data on the CAN bus.
The GNSS data is used by other ECUs in the vehicle, for instance the Navigation system
7.4 Telematics applications
The product hosts a number of telematics applications. Some examples:
7.4.1 Automatic emergency call
If the car is in a crash and the SRS control unit indicates seat belt pretensioners, airbags or
inflatable curtain has deployed, an automatic alarm is sent to a predefined Customer Service
Center, via data connection or SMS, with information about the vehicle's location and that one or
more of the previously mentioned systems has deployed.
A voice call is also set up to the call center.
7.4.2 Manual emergency call
It is also possible to start an emergency call manually by pressing a SOS button for at least 2
seconds.
A service that has been initiated can be cancelled by pressing the EXIT button within 10 seconds.
7.4.3 Roadside assistance call
Another button for roadside assistance will send data message and set up a voice call to a
predefined road side assistance number.
A service that has been initiated can be cancelled by pressing the EXIT button within 10 seconds.
7.4.4 Theft Warning
The call center and the car owner is contacted with a data message if the car alarm indicates the car
is being stolen.

7.4.5 Stolen Vehicle Tracking
The call center can initiate tracking of the car if it has been reported stolen. The vehicle location
will then be reported to the call center.
7.4.6 Remote Vehicle Immobilization
If the car has been reported stolen the call center can instruct the car not to start.
7.4.7 Remote door unlock
The call center or the car owner can unlock the car remotely.
7.4.8 Other applications
With data provided from TEM4G it is also possible to build applications in e.g. mobile phones to
be used by the car owner. Examples:
Vehicle location (present car location on a map)
Instrument panel information (show e.g. mileage, fuel level)
Status check (if service is needed)
