AT&T, Subaru Team on 4G Connected Cars

DALLAS -- AT&T and Subaru of America, Inc. today announced an agreement in which Subaru will provide enhancements to its Subaru STARLINK in-vehicle connectivity system that deliver improved personal safety and security services to vehicle occupants via 4G LTE wireless connectivity.

STARLINK is the Subaru in-vehicle platform that provides hands-free connectivity, entertainment, and safety services to Subaru vehicle occupants. Subaru will offer owners STARLINK with a built-in AT&T 4G LTE communications module capable of offering features including stolen vehicle recovery, automatic collision notification, remote vehicle services such as lock/unlock via a smartphone device and monthly vehicle health reports. Subaru also has an agreement directly with Sirius XM Connected Vehicle to provide a component of the services to Subaru’s owners. STARLINK will be available in select 2016 model year Subaru vehicles starting later this year.

The AT&T network now has the nation's strongest LTE signal and enables fast access to assistance and GPS location when necessary (for accidents, emergencies or stolen vehicle recovery).
