From telematics control units to secure cloud connectivity, Embien builds the full IoT in automotive stack — hardware, firmware, and cloud — for OEMs and fleet operators who need to launch connected car technology programs without assembling four separate vendors. 16+ years of automotive IoT expertise across ECU, TCU, and cloud integration.
Most vendors treat IoT in automotive as a bolt-on cloud dashboard wrapped around whatever telematics hardware a Tier 1 already shipped. Embien approaches it the other way: our automotive IoT expertise starts at the TCU hardware and firmware layer — GPS/GNSS, cellular modem integration, CAN and J1939 bus interfacing — and carries through to the secure cloud pipeline that turns raw vehicle data into fleet-ready insight.
That matters because vehicle connectivity solutions with IoT live or die on the handoff between hardware and cloud. A telematics control unit that reports unreliable location data, or a cloud pipeline that can't authenticate every device at fleet scale, undermines the entire connected vehicle program regardless of how polished the dashboard looks. Our engineers have shipped production TCU hardware, secure OTA update pipelines, and cloud-connected telematics architecture for OEM and two-wheeler programs alike — automotive IoT expertise built from delivered hardware, not slideware. Explore our connected vehicle development services for the full engineering scope, or read the building blocks of vehicle telematics system architecture for the technical depth behind it.
Four things OEMs and fleet platform teams evaluate before choosing a connected car technology partner for IoT in automotive engineering.
Hardware and firmware for telematics control units — GPS/GNSS, cellular, CAN/J1939 interfacing — built on TCU architecture patterns proven across production automotive telematics programs.
End-to-end encrypted data pipelines from vehicle to cloud, so connected car technology programs can scale from a pilot fleet to production volume without re-architecting security.
TCU and telematics designs engineered for cost and durability at two-wheeler and EV production volumes, not just prototype-stage builds.
ISO 26262 functional safety and automotive-grade hardware discipline applied to every IoT in automotive program — not bolted on after the fact.
Functional safety for automotive systems, ASIL-B to ASIL-D.
Automotive cybersecurity management, from TARA through a working CSMS.
Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR-compliant ECU and TCU software architecture.
Encrypted over-the-air updates and V2X communication for connected vehicles.
Claims about automotive IoT expertise are easy to make. Here's a real one: our team took a two-wheeler telematics control unit from architecture to a secure, production-ready design — GPS/GNSS, cellular connectivity, and CAN-bus interfacing engineered for two-wheeler volume and duty cycles, not adapted from a passenger-car TCU. It's the same TCU hardware and firmware discipline that underpins every IoT in automotive engagement we take on, whether the platform is a two-wheeler, a passenger vehicle, or a commercial fleet.
It spans telematics control unit hardware and firmware, in-vehicle bus interfacing (CAN, J1939), cellular and GNSS connectivity, secure cloud data pipelines, and the fleet-facing software that consumes that data — not just a dashboard layered on top of someone else's hardware.
