The Next-Generation Telematics Protocol (NGTP) is a technology-neutral telematics approach that aims to provide greater flexibility and scalability to the automotive, telematics and in-vehicle technology industries to offer better connectivity and integration of data and services aimed at drivers, passengers and the vehicle itself (e.g., airbag deployment notification services). The telematics framework was initially developed between BMW and telematics service providers (TSPs) Connexis and WirelessCar, but was adopted by other companies.
