Of course, I would say the answer to the headline question is "Yes!" Especially the one-stop Avanci 5G Vehicle license! 62 licensors (and growing) in a single agreement, covering the vast majority (as confirmed by the recent IPlytics GmbH report) of 5G SEPs, at a published rate per vehicle, paid once for the lifetime of the vehicle.
Thanks to Will Girling at Automotive World for taking the time to discuss Avanci 5G Vehicle with our Laurie Fitzgerald. It was also great to read the comments of Michael Hafner from our first 5G licensee, Mercedes-Benz, who said that our license 'grants the automaker a higher level of “freedom” in the scope of its continuing 5G innovation.'

FIAT is an acronym! Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino English Translation: Italian Automobile Factory of Turin. #automotives #automotiveindustry #stellantis #jeep #citroen
