As has just been reported by Funkwerk, one of the leading suppliers of communication solutions for the automobile industry, the company was able to conclude further important contracts. Thus, BMW AG delivered a contract for the development of a universal hands-free system based on the voice-controlled com-munications box, KomBox I. This contract stipulates the development and later production of a universal hands-free solution already containing the latest technologies such as GPRS and voice control. Further upgrading is planned in order to develop a universal system on the basis of KomBox II which will be fully integrated into the vehicle management. Says Lutz Pfister, Head of Commercial Mobile Radio Systems of Funkwerk AG: “This development contract is a crucial milestone in the development of Funkwerk as one of the leading suppliers of communication solutions for the automobile industry.” Another important cooperation agreement was concluded with TEMIC Sprachverarbeitung GmbH, the leading supplier of voice processing solutions for the automobile industry. This agreement specifies the joint development of a voice processing system for the voice control of communication solutions in vehicles. Among other things, TEMIC is the supplier of a voice control system for the flagship of the Munich-based company, the 7-series BMW. “This important cooperation agreement is yet another step of momentous significance on the way to the development of integrated, forward-looking communication systems for the automobile industry and will strengthen our competitive situation”, explains Lutz Pfister. The first application solution under this cooperation agreement could already be presented at the Funkwerk Dabendorf GmbH stand at the CeBIT in the form of the UNIVERSAL CAR COMMUNICATOR, AUDIO 3000, which was much admired by both the specialist visitors and the press. end of message, (c)DGAP 25.04.2002
