DENSO acquires InfiniteKey, a Dutch company

DENSO, one of the world's largest suppliers of automotive technology, systems and components, announced the acquisition of InfiniteKey, the Netherlands, as well as a number of significant patents and research and development resources. The acquisition lays the foundation for the development of the "handset-keyless" technology and strengthens DENSO's leadership in smartphone-based car access and is an important part of the company's future mobile strategy. This type of technology will become more and more important to automakers as taxis and driverless services place greater demands on car access.

Bill Foy, senior vice president of engineering, said: "When we think about the future of mobility, the customer experience is always at the forefront of our design. The user no longer needs a physical key that gives the owner, ride, and driverless service Users bring a bad experience.The acquisition will help us to achieve this. "

InfiniteKey has developed more advanced technology than BLE technology to enable the use of smartphones for car positioning. This technology allows automakers to rely on cell phones as passive keys. At the same time, mobile phones as passive key systems can provide a wide range of mobile services such as ride and driverless services.

Tony Cannestra, DENSO's director of international corporate venture capital, said: "With this acquisition, DENSO has acquired valuable startups and technologies for the transportation industry in the future."

Kevin Virta, chief executive of InfiniteKey, said his team is very much looking forward to working with DENSO. He said: "Being part of DENSO surprised us with the most extensive penetration in the automotive market by accident with our push-to-talk technology and we look forward to making a significant contribution to DENSO's future automotive technology leadership."
