We are a telematics services company that provides a suite of real-time voice and data communications services and applications for use in vehicles and are developing additional applications for use within and outside of the automotive industry. These services are enabled through a state-of-the-art communications center designed and built to connect various mobile devices with content, services and call centers. Our system architecture enables us to manage the integration of these components and the associated service delivery in an efficient manner, allowing us to quickly adopt and implement new technologies and services. Within the automotive industry, our communications center allows for two way voice and data communications to a vehicle and supports, among other things, critical safety and security services as well as location-based services and remote diagnostics. Since November 16, 2009, we have been the exclusive telematics service provider in the United States for all new vehicles sold by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Mercedes-Benz”), and we are the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased prior to November 16, 2009. These services are marketed under the mbrace® brand and are enabled through a factory-installed hardware device in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 175,000 subscribers to the mbrace service offering. On November 1, 2011, we executed a telematics services agreement with Volkswagen Group of America Inc. (“VWGoA”) pursuant to which we will provide telematics services on an exclusive basis to specified Volkswagen brand vehicles sold or leased in the United States market commencing in 2013.
