"We have engaged talks with Proton, we are still in early stage of negotiations," said Telenor Connexion global business development executive (automotive) Per Lindberg in Barcelona on Wednesday.
M2M means data communication between machines.For example, if a car is involved in an accident, the car will be able to "tell" the help centre of its location and the number of passengers in the car.
This would help the centre to figure out how many ambulances to request for.
This will be made possible because the car will be equipped with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, which is installed during the manufacturing process.
"Thousands of lives can be saved as a result of this," said Lindberg.
The company is also in talks with Indian carmakers.
Telenor Connexion was established as a company in 2008. Before that, it was a division within the Telenor group.
With more than 10 years of experience in M2M, it currently offers solutions to various companies, including carmakers Volvo, Scania, as well as one of the top carmakers in the world.
Besides automobiles, the solution is also applicable for home security systems, medical equipment (such as devices to check cholesterol level), and home appliances.
