HARMAN Ready Connect

Boosting the Bar in 5G Connected Mobility Experiences when it comes to safety, entertainment and productivity.

Transforming Design and Performance

Modular HW Upgradability
Interchangeable HW with pop/de-pop of pin-compatible NADs on a common PCB for compatibility between 4G and 5G.
Software Scalability
Modular and scalable software architecture enables easy porting of OEM applications with shortened the time-to-market.
Cost and & Weight Reduction
Integration of antennas and telematics reduces cables and connectors, resulting in an overall cost and weight reduction.
All-in-One Package Assembly
Thin profile design allows OEMs the opportunity to package the TCU in new environments while improving performance and reducing complexity.
HARMAN Ready Connect is a cost-effective 4G/5G telematics control unit (TCU) that helps automotive OEMs maximize product longevity, versatility and capability through modular hardware upgradability and software scalability. Transformational in design and performance, HARMAN Ready Connect reduces cost and time-to market, while raising the bar for improved connected mobility experiences.
