“L.M. Ericsson and Mannesmann are cooperating to produce
mobile communication systems that will eventually use wireless
application protocol (WAP) and Bluetooth to allow equipment in a
car’s cockpit to communicate with each other and the
Internet.
The alliance, formed between a subsidiary of the Swedish telecom
company called Ericsson Mobile Communications and Mannesmann, will
produce car information and entertainment systems including in-car
Internet terminals, faxes, stereo and video capabilities as well as
telematic equipment, says Karl-Horst Bockholt, director of public

equipment provides traffic guidance with the use of telecom,
Bockholt says.”
“Bluetooth is another emerging wireless standard backed by
proponents such as Ericsson and Intel.”
