DriveAssist

Putting Wireless Operators in the Driver's Seat

DriveAssist is a network-integrated solution for responsible mobile phone driving. The NEBS-compliant solution has been integration and drive tested with a major North American Tier 1 wireless operator. DriveAssist provides a network efficient method for mediating voice, text, and data prior to delivery to the handset. The solution capitalizes on the key attributes of existing wireless networks.

HOW DRIVEASSIST WORKS
The DriveAssist mobile client runs in the background of a user’s mobile phone. When driving, the DriveAssist screen is automatically displayed to alert the driver that use of the phone is managed.

Incoming calls are intercepted, caller options include: leave a voicemail, request a callback, or priority alert

Outgoing calls are not allowed except for 911 which can be dialed at anytime

Incoming texts are delivered to the handset when the user stops driving
