Prestigious recognition highlights Aeris’ automotive-grade connectivity, embedded security, and AI-driven operations powering 45+ million connected vehicles worldwide
CHICAGO, Oct. 15, 2026 – Aeris, the leader in global connected vehicle services and secure connectivity for automotive OEMs, today announced it has been named Overall Connected Company of the Year in the 7th annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program. The award recognizes Aeris for delivering automotive-grade connectivity, security and service enablement on a global scale to the world’s leading automotive OEMs.
Aeris currently serves more than 30 automotive OEMs and powers more than 45 million connected vehicles across 200+ countries. The company offers a vertically integrated suite of connected vehicle capabilities to automotive OEMs, including connectivity management, connected services, data management, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and AI-ready connected operations products designed for the software-defined vehicle (SDV) and AI-defined vehicle (AIDV) era.
“Automakers are asking more of the connected car than ever before; it must be borderless, secure by design, and scalable enough to support an ecosystem of enterprise users interacting with millions of connected drivers” said Raj Kanaya, Vice President and General Manager, Automotive at Aeris. “Being named Overall Connected Company of the Year is a testament to our team and the OEMs and partners who trust Aeris to power their connected vehicle programs. As vehicles become more intelligent and autonomous, we remain focused on driving the future of mobility.”
The AutoTech Breakthrough Awards recognize standout companies, products and services across the global automotive and transportation technology industry. With thousands of nominations received each year, the recognition is a meaningful validation of Aeris’ approach to secure, intelligent connected vehicle services for the world’s leading automakers.
Aeris unifies four capabilities automakers typically managed through fragmented point solutions – connectivity orchestration, connected vehicle services, software delivery, and operational intelligence – into an integrated SaaS platform. Aeris Mobility Suite manages remote services, subscriptions, and telemetry across the vehicle lifecycle and both legacy and SDV programs without requiring in-field software or hardware changes. Our connected operations platform applies agentic AI to common ops team use cases, enabling teams to detect anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and act across network, vehicle, and application layers using natural language while dramatically accelerating issue resolution times. Aeris’ connectivity orchestration layer manages devices across global mobile network operators through a single integration point, with security enforced in the network path rather than at the vehicle. Together, these capabilities allow automakers to consolidate fragmented connected vehicle operations, accelerate time-to-market for new digital experiences, and significantly reduce connected program total cost of ownership.
