SK Telecom, the largest wireless network carrier in South Korea, last week introduced what it claims is the world’s first commercial “mobile telematics” service in China.

The so-called E-MIV service, which was first reported by the South China Morning Post last year, enables customers to use their internet-linked smartphones to remotely secure, track and manage their cars.

SK Telecom’s Chinese subsidiary, Shenzhen E-eye High Tech Co, expects to have about 10,000 users during the first year of E-MIV operations in the world’s largest car market.
