Real-time traffic updates from SUNA will be available as a standard feature of the new range of Alpine in-vehicle navigation systems.

While SUNA live traffic updates have been a feature of some GPS systems since the system was launched, Alpine is going a step further with its new range of devices, which will include this feature as standard.

"Alpine is committed to providing its customers with technology that helps them stay ahead while out on the road and our partnership with Intelematics Australia enables us to deliver on this commitment," Darren Gray, marketing manager at Alpine Electronics.

"Traffic jams cause major headaches for all Australian motorists however thanks to SUNA, motorists with an Alpine in-vehicle navigation device will now have the help they need to beat the traffic blues and avoid unnecessary delays while driving," he added.

Adam Game, CEO of Intelematics Australia, said "We are proud to align ourselves with Alpine and help them deliver a premium navigation experience for their customers."

SUNA Traffic Channel transmits traffic information such as accidents, road closures, traffic congestion, major road works and special events via FM radio. The information can be decoded by appropriately equipped GPS systems.
