Licensing aftermarket products for vehicles
Avanci Aftermarket brings together licensors and licensees to create a one-stop licensing program for vehicle aftermarket products using 4G, 3G and 2G cellular communications.
Since many vehicles have been sold without connectivity, consumers, as well as modern transport and logistics operations, rely on aftermarket devices to connect.
Innovative companies create these products to bring connectivity and infotainment capabilities to legacy vehicles. Others build devices with a dedicated wireless connection independent of the vehicle, for specific functions. These include onboard units for vehicle monitoring, toll collection, enabling ticket sales, commercial route planning, facilitating fleet management, and more.
Building on the success of the Avanci Vehicle marketplace for connected vehicles, Avanci Aftermarket offers licenses for these connected devices installed after the original sale of a vehicle, or trailers and containers which are hauled by vehicles.
We offer licenses in three categories:
- Infotainment products
- Other multi-function aftermarket products
- Monitoring-only products

Pricing – Always fair.
Avanci shares a commitment with the IoT ecosystem to make licenses for the latest standard wireless technologies available in a way that is fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND). This well-established industry principle ensures that those using standardized technologies in their products have access on fair terms, and those creating wireless technology receive a fair return on their investment.
Easy, uncomplicated possibilities
Avanci is committed to streamlining the technology-sharing process. Our transparent fixed price royalty model accommodates the wide range of uses in connected aftermarket devices.
Fair, fixed prices for aftermarket products
The royalty rate in an Avanci license for an aftermarket product will never increase during the term of the license, regardless of:
- The number of 2G, 3G and 4G essential patents added to the license
- How many new licensors join the Avanci Aftermarket program
Avanci provides predictability, transparency and simplicity for the vehicle aftermarket.
