Parrot Automotive supplies premium European commercial vehicle maker with Android-based infotainment system
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PARIS, December 2016 - Parrot Automotive, a leader in infotainment and
connectivity solutions, is proud to announce that its New Infotainment System
7100 (or NIS 7100) has been selected by a premium European semi-trailer truck
maker. In late 2016, NIS 7100-equipped semis will be available for purchase for
the European, Russian, Asian, Latin American and Oceanian markets.

The NIS 7100 is an Android-based Head Unit made up of a 1-DIN silver box and a
7-inch capacitive multi touch display embedded into the dashboard. It provides
truck drivers with all the infotainment features needed to make long-haul
driving a more connected and comfortable journey.
The NIS 7100 includes all the staple features one has come to expect from a
modern infotainment platform: telephony, messaging, worldwide radio, media
player, vehicle information via CAN, as well as USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and line
in connectivity. The NIS 7100 goes even further: thanks to the Android
framework, users can access multiple apps. Connecting the NIS 7100 to the
Internet also enables users to listen to music on demand (Deezer, TuneIn, etc.),
get weather reports, check maps or browse the Web.
Parrot Automotive enhances this app ecosystem with its well-known suite of
automotive libraries for multimedia and connectivity: voice recognition, Text-
to-Speech, dictation, video and speech processing. To prevent distracted
driving, most NIS 7100 features can be activated through voice recognition (e.g.
voice-destination entry).
Besides, the NIS 7100 embeds a fully-featured truck-specific navigation system
(complete with 3D nav, Point of Interest search, etc.) from TomTom: in a matter
of seconds, drivers get the route that's best for their truck's size, weight and
cargo. It also features "dead reckoning": navigation is constantly accurate,
even if the satellite signal is lost, like in tunnels. This new head unit can
also manage rear view and side cameras, facilitating the delicate maneuvers
truck drivers have to perform every day.
"The NIS 7100 is the 4(th) generation of our Android infotainment platforms and
includes Parrot automotive libraries. We are proud to bring this advanced and
open infotainment system to the highly competitive premium automotive market.
The NIS 7100 will also be deployed in 2017 for other OEMs", says Éric Riyahi,
Executive Vice President at Parrot Automotive.
