Following Transatel’s successful delivery into the UK, Germany and Italy for Jaguar Land Rover in 2018 , Wave 2 of the personal SIM card and mobile data plan services deployment programme launched in May of this year .

Jaguar Land Rover offers customers a 3-year prefunded data bundle with the latest vehicle models, which includes the option for the customer to purchase additional data top-up packages if desired.

Ubigi, a Transatel brand, provides the connectivity, manages customer and retailer relations and support, and enables the payment processes for purchasing data bundles. A combined team of JLR and BearingPoint UK staff have been managing the internal feature launch and necessary integration of the programme over the last 18 months.
End users can seamlessly manage their Ubigi account via the selfcare application, accessible via any device. The multi-lingual selfcare application enables account management, user registration and payment, among other features.

Transatel, recently acquired by NTT Communications of NTT Group (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), the 5th largest telecom operator in the world , is the technical enabler behind Ubigi’s customer-facing service. The service was successfully launched with Jaguar and Land Rover models in June 2018 by a team from Transatel, Jaguar Land Rover and BearingPoint UK, and was showcased at the Paris Motor Show in October 2018.
