Fujitsu Ten to Deliver Built-in Audio-Video Unit with iGO Navigation
The Japanese Tier 1 automotive supplier has chosen NNG to develop customized navigation software for its new audio video and navigation unit. The iGO Navigation solution features a specially designed HMI with an aligned usage flow.
- (1888PressRelease) June 25, 2011 - Budapest, Hungary - Fujitsu Ten Limited, a worldwide manufacturer of original automotive products, and NNG, a leading navigation solution provider and developer of the iGO Navigation software range, jointly announce their cooperation on an audio, video and navigation unit that will arrive built into dashboards of selected vehicle brands on the European, North American and Australian markets in the first half of 2012.
Based on Fujitsu Ten's requirements, the iGO Navigation solution has been fully customized including a new workflow and destination search as well as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) that was defined especially for this unit. The navigation solution has been seamlessly integrated on the audio video unit and complies with the automotive demand of easy use with minimum driver distraction. This is supported by the acceptance of voice commands and voice destination entry. The interface is also able to split screens between different functions in order to maximize the information available to the end user. Regular map and content updates are guaranteed to the user, which ensures that the lifecycle of the navigation unit is as long as that of the vehicle it is built into.
"Our cooperation with Fujitsu Ten is yet another great example of our automotive capabilities," said Péter Balogh, interim CEO at NNG LLC. "We believe this new unit is a notable achievement for both our companies and feel confident that it will exceed the requirements of global car manufacturers."
"Fujitsu Ten and NNG share and cooperate to realize our vision: to improve the relationship between people and automobiles, and to develop even more user-friendly solutions," said Yuzo Damaru, Head of Procurement Management Department, Procurement Division, at Fujitsu Ten.
