We might as well start with the basic criteria, those that should never be overlooked when faced with the temptation to focus on connectivity alone. Because a good <strong>car for professional use<\/strong> must first and foremost offer an ideal working environment: it must be comfortable, quiet, sufficiently spacious and equipped with practical storage spaces. It should also have <strong>autonomy<\/strong> to avoid frequent trips to the pump or, for electric models, to a recharging point.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 4G connection for the infotainment system can be integrated into the car or run via the driver's smartphone. This can have an impact on running costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then there are the model's predispositions for a good <strong>connectivity<\/strong> the on-board infotainment system. While some brands offer an integrated connection with an on-board SIM card - which is generally the case with French brands and German premium manufacturers, at prices ranging from \u20ac130 to \u20ac360 over three years after an initial free period - others rely primarily on the customer's smartphone. But beware, the latter case can lead to <strong>roaming charges<\/strong> when travelling through countries not covered by the telephone operator's contract, such as Switzerland or Andorra. What's more, a smartphone's aerial is not as powerful as that of a car when it comes to hooking up to the GSM network. Some brands make up for this shortcoming with a dedicated slot for the smartphone, generally called the \"smartphone slot\". <strong>\"phone box<\/strong>which connects the device to the on-board antenna to amplify its sound. <strong>4G reception signal<\/strong>\u00a0We're waiting for 2020 and the arrival of 5G, which will be much faster and more powerful. What's more, these phone boxes are also equipped with a wireless recharging system - based on the QI standard - enabling them to power the battery of a compatible smartphone such as the Apple iPhone X or Samsung S9.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76497\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76497\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ds7-crossback-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ds7-crossback-3.jpg\" alt=\"DS 7 Crossback: The new top-of-the-range model from the PSA Group&#039;s premium carmaker focuses on its spacious cabin.

Its usefulness lies first and foremost in connecting the on-board infotainment system so that you can benefit from all its functions. For example, so that the navigation system can access traffic information to help you get to an appointment as quickly as possible, as well as parking information so you don't have to waste time parking, fuel prices, points of interest or - and for peace of mind on the road - danger zone warning services such as Coyote.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-76485 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/mercedes-in-car-office.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/mercedes-in-car-office-300x200-derived.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"New Mercedes-Benz A-Class: The little Mercedes has been a big hit with corporate fleets since its previous generation.

Opel\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>However, another means of connection provides access to certain useful functions by reproducing the smartphone screen on the vehicle's screen. This is known as <strong>mirroring<\/strong>the services offered by <strong>Android Auto, Apple CarPlay<\/strong>or even <strong>MirrorLink<\/strong>. Once activated, they enable certain applications - WhatsApp in particular, but also <strong>Skype<\/strong> or navigation <strong>Waze<\/strong> (Android) - to be displayed in simplified mode on the car's on-board screen. Telephony and messaging functions are also made easier, while the voice control button on the steering wheel can be used for simple things: calling a contact, listening to and replying to text messages read by the system, controlling the music with <strong>Google Voice<\/strong> or <strong>Apple Siri<\/strong> or access the services of the smartphone's personal assistant, whether Google Assistant or Apple's Siri.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this principle, with its new A-Class, Mercedes has just launched its own voice assistant using artificial intelligence to provide a better response to every request. This service differs from the genuine concierge services set up by manufacturers such as BMW, which has a real person at the end of the phone rather than a robot. Also at Mercedes, the personal assistant service <strong>Mercedes me<\/strong>and assistants <strong>Amazon Alexa<\/strong> and <strong>Google Assistant<\/strong>These are starting to be incorporated into certain models, starting with the C-Class and GLC in the UK and Germany. The German brand also offers the <strong>In-Car Office<\/strong>using the calendar to give addresses to the navigation system and automatically connect to a specific destination. <strong>conference call<\/strong> by entering an access code. The on-board screen will then display certain information relating to the conference, such as the names of the participants or the organiser. These features are available in France, at a cost of \u20ac19 per year or \u20ac49 over three years.<\/p>\n<p>From his side, <strong>BMW<\/strong> offers, for \u20ac80 a year, to connect the car to a Microsoft Office 365 account including the <strong>\"Exchange Online<\/strong>. The system integrated into the vehicle's terminal synchronises e-mails, contacts and diary entries and allows them to be processed independently, even without a connection to a smartphone. It is also capable of transferring addresses directly into the navigation system and adds a particularly interesting feature for mobile professionals: the ability to take part in conference calls on Skype for Business, which Volvo also offers, with just one click.<\/p>\n<h2>The ideal interface<\/h2>\n<p>On-board connectivity offers the added advantage of having a <strong>on-board Wi-Fi connection point<\/strong>. So, with this hotspot provided by the car and a 220 V socket like some manufacturers (Renault, VW...), you can plug in a computer and connect it to the web during a break on the road.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With the gradual arrival of services such as Skype for Business and Office 365, connectivity is becoming increasingly important for business use on board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then there is the human-machine interface. Specialists speak of UI- for <strong>\"User Interface<\/strong> or \"user interface\" - one of the crucial points in the development of new models. Indeed, the more complex a machine becomes, the simpler the interaction with the customer needs to be, especially if the customer is behind the wheel and cannot be distracted. The man-machine interface is therefore given the utmost care by carmakers, who have teams in charge of studying the adaptation of each technological development. Just look at the quality of definition of the latest generation of screens, or the progress made in terms of <strong>voice recognition<\/strong> to see for yourself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76509\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/new-renault-espace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/new-renault-espace.jpg\" alt=\"Renault Espace : Always generous when it comes to space, the interior of the Espace, the fifth model of its name, is connected with the R-Link 2 system and its large vertical screen which sits enthroned on the panoramic dashboard.

Some car models even go so far as to use online voice recognition systems to tap into infinitely larger databases and ensure a result of formidable reliability.<br \/>\nHowever, even the most sophisticated vehicles may need to be complemented by simple, useful equipment. A quality smartphone holder is an essential element in this respect.
