Australian Motoring Service Enables Apple Satellite Roadside Aid via Infobip
Off-grid communication brings enhanced safety and reliability to drivers with iPhone 14 or later
Global cloud communication platform Infobip supports Apple’s Roadside Assistance via satellite feature through Australian Motoring Service (AMS).* The groundbreaking technology enables drivers with iPhone 14 or later to request help and text with AMS — even in areas without cellular coverage — marking a significant advancement in automotive safety and customer service in Australia.
According to the Australian Government, many parts of Australia’s regional and remote areas have no or poor mobile reception, which can make roadside assistance challenging.
By leveraging Apple’s Roadside Assistance via satellite on Infobip’s Cloud Contact Center solution, AMS provides critical support to stranded motorists in remote locations, including isolated highways, national parks, and mountainous regions.
