In-Car Internet a Thing of the….Present!

Almost ten years after the first murmurings of on-the-road internet were whispered, in-car wi-fi is about to hit the pavement. Chrysler has announced it will be the first car company to provide in-car internet access.

Beginning this year, internet service will be available at dealerships with assembly line installation coming later this year.

Passengers will be able to search the Web using signals from cell phone towers, and users will need a subscription to a cell carrier for uninterrupted service. The internet addition comes as part of Chrysler’s attempt to reach customers who want more customization options.

About a year ago Autonet Mobile claimed to be the first internet service provider for automobiles, and stated Avis as one of their clients.

Autonet Mobile works by providing an always-on broadband internet service from a patent-pending, enhanced-reception system that roams cell phone networks for signals and switches seamlessly between connections to provide uninterrupted coverage.

The service is said to work on 95% of US roads, in all terrains and driving conditions; basically, if your cell phone works there, the wi-fi should work as well. Wireless configuration inside the car works just like any other wi-fi setup, so it is no more difficult to set up than wi-fi at your home or office.

Of course there is equipment to purchase and a monthly service fee, but the price may be worth it for the added convenience and entertainment of auto wi-fi!
