It operates manufacturing and assembly plants and distribution
centres throughout the United States, Canada, and many other
countries. The company's major products include automobiles and
trucks, automotive components, and engines, and it is also engaged
in financial services. GM's headquarters are in Detroit
General Motors and AT&T* will bring 5G cellular connectivity
to millions of GM vehicles coming off the assembly line over the
next decade in the United States. GM and AT&T are working
together to set the benchmark for automotive connectivity with a
fifth-generation cellular network architecture to meet the needs of
an all-electric and autonomous future.
GM and AT&T are collaborating to build a high performance 5G
core network that delivers a new standard. Network enhancements
will include:
5G connectivity will first be available in select model year
2024 vehicles. Additionally, through GM’s fifth generation network,
current 4G LTE-equipped model year 2019 and newer vehicles will
experience faster connectivity speeds and many of the same
performance benefits of future 5G-equipped vehicles. Current
Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac owners in the U.S. with 4G
LTE-capable model year 2019 and newer vehicles will easily migrate
to the new network infrastructure once available.
This rollout is part of GM and AT&T’s broad strategy to
launch the world’s largest fleet of 5G-enabled vehicles and the
culmination of a two-year collaboration, including test-driving
connected vehicles at GM’s 5G proving grounds in Milford,
Michigan.
AT&T has the nation’s most reliable 5G
network,1 covering more than 250 million people
across the country. From 2016 to 2020, AT&T invested more than
$110 billion in its wireless and wireline networks, including
capital investments and acquisitions of wireless spectrum and
operations.
GM offers OnStar and Connected Services2 to more
than 16 million customers in the U.S. and Canada. Since the launch
of 4G LTE in 2014, GM owners have used more than 171 million
gigabytes of data across its brands, which is equivalent to nearly
5.7 billion hours of music streamed or more than 716 million hours
of streaming video.
To support GM’s rapid innovation and delivery of next-generation
connected vehicle solutions, AT&T and Microsoft are bringing
together the speed and reliability of AT&T’s 5G network with
Microsoft’s scalable and secure cloud services.
The 4G LTE and 5G network improvements will be foundational for the
future of GM’s growing over-the-air update strategy, an element of
the automaker’s overall innovation and growth plan. With more
advanced features, robust software and faster download speeds, more
data is accessible to provide a more convenient customer
experience. GM’s fifth-generation network will also provide a
strong foundation as the company advances its technology, such as
Super Cruise and its Vehicle Intelligence Platform.
