Bell and Honda Canada announced a new partnership on March 11 that will see new Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with built-in Wi-Fi hotspots for online connectivity.
“Like many consumers, Honda and Acura customers are looking for more convenient ways to stay connected, and our in-car Wi-Fi Hotspot powered by Bell provides the fast and reliable mobile connections they expect,” said Dave Jamieson, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Honda Canada.
In a news release, the company said the hotspot is ideal for mobile workers, commuters and families, and that it will seamlessly support browsing, streaming, and sharing on up to seven compatible devices. It also supports real-time email and text access, enables on-the-go video streaming, gaming and web browsing, and allows devices to remain connected up to 50 feet away from the vehicle.
“Bell Connected Car makes your vehicle a powerful Wi-Fi hotspot, connecting your and your passengers’ devices with high-speed access automatically, just like at home,” said Nauby Jacob, Senior Vice President, Products and Services at Bell Mobility.
The partnership is an extension of AT&T’s long-standing connected car relationship between Honda and Bell.
