Connected Car Connectivity Middle East: Hyundai Partners Vodafone IoT

On February 3, Hyundai Motor Group announced a strategic collaboration with Vodafone IoT to deploy connected car connectivity Middle East markets, strengthening in-car digital capabilities across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The initiative focuses on delivering reliable, regulation-ready connectivity tailored to regional requirements.

Vodafone IoT to Enable Seamless In-Car Connectivity

Vodafone IoT will provide in-car connectivity to Hyundai Motor Group using its Global SIM+ solution, which enables a global SIM to function as a local SIM. This approach supports consistent service quality while addressing country-specific telecom regulations across the Middle East.

Regulatory Compliance and Centralized Management

Vodafone IoT works closely with local network partners to ensure regulatory compliance, dependable network performance, and broad regional coverage. Its managed connectivity platform allows vehicle manufacturers to oversee global IoT operations through a single, centralized system.

Enhanced Connected Car Services for Customers

Through this partnership, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis customers in the region will gain access to connected car services including remote vehicle control, real-time vehicle monitoring, and added convenience features. The collaboration also includes plans to extend in-car connectivity to additional Middle East and Africa markets over time.
