As one of the leading OEM manufacturers in the automotive sector, Novero introduced a number of innovative products, such as a Bluetooth multimedia hands-free system integrated into the car. Novero achieved a world premiere in the field of Bluetooth-based smartphone navigation in cars. The company then provided solutions in the area of 3G car telephones with Internet access and a Java / Android / Linux connectivity box for online use of telematics services.
Management change in 2013
With the former Apple manager Freddie Geier as the new CEO and a management team from the automotive, IT and telecommunications industries, Novero is currently concentrating on the merging of consumer electronics and automotive technologies.
Current developments in the automotive industry such as wireless software updates, technology standards such as LTE, 802.11 or Bluetooth Low Energy find their way into the developments as well as the adaptation to specific needs of vehicle manufacturers.
