In this era, "IoT (Internet of Thing)" is an indispensable element, and "Connected Service" has recently been focusing on automakers.[Image] Too terrible!The car opens with a smartphone!(10 sheets) As you can see from the current smartphone usage status, the information you want is via the Internet.Therefore, each company has a communication function to the car, and provides services that can communicate between manufacturers and users.
The number of cases in which smartphone map applications are used as navigation is increasing
Now, "Wi-Fi (router)" is attracting attention. In recent years, many people use not only music and videos but also navigation with smartphone apps, but smartphones have a balance between communication charges and data capacity, so they cannot be used as much as they want. Under such circumstances, the unlimited "vehicle-only Wi-Fi (router)" is gathering hot gaze. When using Wi-Fi in a car, you can broadly divide it. The first is "tethering" that uses the data communication function of the smartphone as it is. "5G", which is currently being spread, is the latest version of smartphone data communication methods, and its strength is that more data can be exchanged at high speed. However, smartphones are set to change depending on the data capacity that can be used every month, and if you continue to use it all the time, it will quickly cause a capacity limit. The second is "Mobile Wi-Fi". It is necessary to pay a contract separately from the smartphone and pay the fee at a fixed monthly price, but the communication speed is also stable to some extent, and depending on the plan, the data capacity is quite large (unlimited plans). There are many cases where multiple units can be used as a dedicated router overseas, so it is highly useful for working adults who go out. And in recent years, what has become a hot topic is the "vehicle-only Wi-Fi (router)". Separate contracts and usage fees are required, but there are few troublesome procedures (only registered for the first time), and it is an excellent thing that can be immediately entered into a Wi-Fi environment just by inserting it into the cigar socket. In addition, as with mobile Wi-Fi, multiple units can be connected at the same time, so you can use a smartphone navigation application in the front seat to enjoy music and videos in stable communication status. If you have mobile Wi-Fi or in-vehicle Wi-Fi, you can use the Internet at a fast communication speed even in the car, but it is also difficult to understand the difference. Which one should I choose? I would like to consider the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. ● Mobile Wi-Fi Mobile Wi-Fi is attractive to carry a stable internet environment. You can use a "own" line not only in the car but also on the go. At present, the communication speed has been improved year by year, with some of the maximum speed of 1Gbps. Overseas, there are plans that can be used in a sense close to the country, and it is a great advantage that not only data communication but also international calls can be made easily with voice calling applications. On the other hand, the disadvantage is that there are many plans that have limited data traffic for one month. There is also a large capacity plan, but the bottleneck is that the usage fee is higher in proportion. When used in the car, there are places where routers, such as tunnels, cannot catch radio waves, and may be interrupted while driving. However, even if it is interrupted, it can be used by running a little and catching the radio wave again. ● The communication speed of the Wi-Fi (router) exclusively for in-vehicle Wi-Fi in-vehicle is realized as the speed comparable to mobile Wi-Fi. Basically, the "LTE" line is used, so you can secure a stable communication speed in most places where you can travel by car. Currently, there is no data capacity limit, unlimited use, and multiple units can be connected simultaneously. In addition, because of the in -vehicle design, the compact body is firmly counteracted against driving vibration and heat, and there is no need to worry that it will not be possible to use it with heat due to long use while driving. However, there are some disadvantages. The only type that secures the power supply into the cigar socket is only the mainstream, and can only be used only during the engine (running / idling) in principle. Of course, if the battery is discharged and it goes up, it will not be usable, and it cannot be used during parking in the engine OFF state or away from the car. Based on these points, mobile Wi-Fi is a mobile Wi-Fi for those who want to use the Wi-Fi environment regardless of location, but for those who want to use connected services and navigation apps in the car while driving, in-vehicle Wi-Fi. Is recommended.
