Comtech to demonstrate how its mapping data is integrated with Dragon Drive’s newest innovations for in-car assistants with advanced conversational capabilities

MELVILLE, N.Y. & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2019-- February 26, 2019-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL), a world leader in secure and highly reliable location, navigation and communication technology, today announced during Mobile World Congress 2019, its Enterprise Technologies group, which is part of Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment is showcasing how its global navigation and mapping solution has been integrated into the newest innovation from Nuance Communication’s Dragon Drive mobility assistant platform – the world’s first multi-sensorial, cognitive mobility assistant for the digital car of the future. The demonstration is taking place at Comtech’s stand at the Fira Gran Via in hall 8.1, #8.1D21, February 25^th through February 28^th.

Comtech’s global navigation and mapping solution is built upon a highly-reliable data center infrastructure, providing on-board and off-board map data as well as turn-by-turn navigation. Comtech’s navigation and map data can be integrated with Dragon Drive’s voice, eye tracking and head movement recognition, creating a highly intelligent and personalized navigation experience. The demonstration will feature an enhanced navigation user experience that offers handsfree map, search and navigation features. Additionally, it will show map controls and the ability to zoom in and out, search for a point-of-interest (POI) or navigate to a destination without the touch of a button.

Utilizing Comtech’s POI search function to locate nearby coffee shops, gas stations, restaurants or other places, Dragon Drive can use that data to differentiate between proximity, price and quality measures for locations of interest that might be in route during a trip. For instance, when locating a parking lot near an address identified by the driver, the in-car assistant can identify the user’s preference for price versus distance from the desired address. It can then use those details to pinpoint the location of the best parking space option.
