Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and French multinational telecom communications firm Orange S.A. recently unveiled a new wireless vehicle system, Car-Wi-Fi, in Spain.

Huawei's new wireless system enables users to connect ten different terminals, including mobile phones and tablets in the same car, to a Wi-Fi connection.

The Car-Wi-Fi system device allows fourth generation (4G) connectivity. Reports say the system weighs about 50 grams and has dimensions of 59x49x88 millimeters. It costs US$110.

"The connected car is an important opportunity for growth and with Huawei Car-Wi-Fi, we are not only maintaining our promise to make a better connected world possible, but also to enter into another segment of the market, which has a promising future." said Javier Palacios, director of marketing of Huawei Device Spain.

"With Car Wi-Fi, we once again show that we are the first to offer an exclusive and innovative solution to our clients. The question 'Are we there yet?' that children always ask on journeys, will end with Car Wi-Fi." said Mickael Faure, Orange Spain's director of residential mobile marketing.

The Chinese telecom giant announced last December the deployment of its enterprise eLTE solutions technology by Spain's telecom network provider IB-RED.

Established in 2007, IB-RED deployed Huawei's eLTE network on the islands of Majorca, Ibiza and Cabrera. The network offers consumers a downlink data rate 50 times that of the WiMAX network.

Recently, the Chinese company also successfully tested a 400 Gbps fiber broadband over optical fiber that connects the two cities, Dublin and Belfast, in Ireland.
