(MENAFN) Falling under its ongoing efforts to advance its vehicle component business, LG Electronics Inc. intends to team up with Intel to integrate fifth-generation (5G) network technology to automobiles.

Intel, the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip makers, and LG will apply the 5G network to the so-called telematics technology, which aims to offer traffic info to vehicles over mobile communication.

In more detail, telematics technology allows cars and pedestrians to connect without a delay, thus reducing the number of accidents, plus the system can also be useful in tracking stolen cars or long-distance maintenance.

Additionally, the 5G technology can considerably develop the communications environment of cars as it is 33 times faster than the current long-term evolution (LTE)-based network, while reducing the data-response time by 90pct.
