We are thrilled to announce that Cobalt Cube® has been shortlisted for the “Best Use of Critical Communications in Transport” at the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCA). This nomination is a testament to our team’s dedication in creating industry-leading solutions that improve vital communications in public service and first response fleets.

Cobalt Cube is a powerful device that integrates essential apps, hardware, and vehicle systems from the infotainment screen. This simple yet effective technology is becoming widely adopted by public service fleets across Europe and North America to make vehicles safer and more efficient for responders and their passengers.

The secure integration and display of applications, devices, and vehicle control systems from the OEM screen in the dashboard, including light bars, sirens, ANPR, CCTV, and many other features, all in one easy-to-use platform, has made Cobalt Cube a game-changing product in the transport industry.

With Cobalt Cube installed additional systems can be added to the vehicle at any time, providing a flexible, extensible, and futureproof set up. Importantly cabin clutter can be removed entirely, which vastly improves ergonomics and occupant safety. Vehicle total cost of ownership is vastly reduced as less custom installation is required and the dashboard remains completely intact, increasing residual values at the end of fleet life.

“We are committed to using technology to improve the transport industry, and we believe that Cobalt Cube has the potential to revolutionise the way that critical communications are used in public service and first response industries.”

Tom Blackie, CEO, VNC Automotive says “We are committed to using technology to improve the transport industry, and we believe that Cobalt Cube has the potential to revolutionise the way that critical communications are used in public service and first response industries. We are honored to be recognised by the ICCA for our efforts, and we would like to thank the judges for considering us for this prestigious award.”
