A New Paradigm for the Connected Car

The current trajectory of connected car connectivity is fundamentally challenging. Exponential data growth is rapidly creating a « wall of costs » that undermines the boom of connected car on-board services. This financial pressure is compounded by operational fragmentation, as global automotive OEMs are forced to manage a complex, non-homogenous patchwork of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). Connectivity is a key strategic differentiator, but also a complex transformation.

A strategic pivot is required. Airnity, the Automotive Connectivity Factory, represents this necessary paradigm shift. Established as an automotive pure-player Full-MVNO and joint venture by leading OEMs (Stellantis and Renault Group), Airnity is built by and for the automotive industry to regain control and commoditize global connectivity and is bound to federate other car OEMs around the connectivity challenge simplification.

Three foundational pillars:

1. Decisive Cost Control and Optimization
Airnity yields connected car use-case pure-player central purchasing power by aggregating the collective data volumes of its OEM members. This shifts the purchasing model from inneficient « enterprise retail » to an « inter-operator roaming wholesale » model. This structural change delivers important and documented savings on airtime.

2. Radical Operational Simplification
We resolve global telecom complexity by creating a unified layer of abstraction. Our « 1 SIM – 1 API – 1 set of APNs » approach simplifies operations across every country, ensuring consistency and reliability. Crucially, this simplification extends to masking the complexity of countries with heavy telecom regulations (e.g., permanent roaming restrictions…) for the car OEM via our mobile core network and remote SIM provisioning expertise and experience, local corporate presence and license where required, and expert regulatory compliance.

3. OEM Sovereignty and Connectivity Verticalization
The Airnity model enables the crucial verticalization of connectivity into the connected car product, transforming it from an outsourced service into an integrated component of connected car product creation and operation.

OEMs gain direct influence and co-governance over Airnity’s strategic, technical, and operational roadmap. This sense of verticalization of connectivity into the connected car product creation is much more efficient because it is delivered through a single pane of glass solution for all global destinations, critically including « hard geographies » in terms of regulation. This close alignment ensures the roadmap remains perfectly synchronized with Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) evolutions, 5GSA capabilities, and the development of future standards like 6G.

Airnity transforms connectivity from a fragmented vendor dependency into a cost-controlled, simple, and sovereign strategic asset, enabling the scalable, profitable future of the connected car.
