With the Tata Communications MOVE platform, JLR’s future vehicles will be continuously connected, always evolving, and ready for the digital world.  

From London to Ladakh, New York to New Zealand, JLR’s next-generation vehicles, built on its new Electric Modular Architecture (EMA), will have seamless, uninterrupted connectivity across 120 countries.

Benefits for JLR drivers include Real-time vehicle tracking, more frequent and faster over-the-air (SOTA) updates, better integration with media streaming and in-car applications, and a highly secure and reliable data exchange.

“JLR was the first luxury manufacturer to introduce a dual-modem, dual-eSIM system with the launch of the Defender in 2020,” said Mark Brogden, Director of Digital Product Platform Off-Board at JLR.  

“Now, with Tata Communications, we’re taking another step forward, offering continuous connectivity, seamless updates, and smarter vehicle features that evolve over time.” 

According to Marco Bijvelds, Vice President and Global Head of Tata Communications MOVE, this partnership is about future-proofing the driving experience.  

“The automotive industry is rapidly evolving to meet the ever-changing demands of customers. Our digital infrastructure has already enabled seamless connectivity across all of JLR’s global production sites, and now, we’re powering their journey into fully software-defined vehicles.” 

“The insights gained from this data exchange will not only enhance JLR’s offerings but also create new revenue streams by enabling more personalised customer experiences.” 

The modern automotive landscape is shifting from hardware-focused engineering to software-defined vehicles. This partnership between JLR and Tata Communications is a major milestone, ensuring that connectivity, intelligence, and digital services become an integral part of the driving experience.  

With fully connected SUVs hitting the road in 2026, the future might be about driving a machine that is constantly learning, evolving, and improving.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has recently announced a new partnership with Tata Communications, the global commtech (communications technology) player, to future-proof its digital transformation and pave the way for new standards such as Industry 4.0 and advanced analytics.

JLR is on a mission with its Reimagine strategy, and Tata Communications is stepping into the ring with its cloud-first, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) tech.

This is set to turbocharge JLR’s supply chain, making it sleeker and more secure. And this partnership isn’t just about fancy tech jargon; it’s about saving time, boosting resilience, and flexing agility muscles to meet production demands.

JLR’s predicting some serious cost savings and business benefits, thanks to Tata Communications’ network makeover, scheduled to launch by 2025.

Tony Battle, JLR’s Group Chief Digital and Information Officer, says “Moving to SD-WAN means we can use AI powered automation to predict vulnerabilities, proactively intervene, prevent issues and perform more effectively on a global scale across our network.”

Sumeet Walia, Tata Communications’ Executive Vice President and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, also added that “As the industry rapidly evolves, it’s an exciting time to further strengthen our relationship and support its digital transformation strategy. Tata Communications is deploying a ‘digital fabric’… delivering a seamless flow of data to enrich key aspects of the business ecosystem.”

This isn’t the first time JLR and Tata Communications have collaborated too. Their previous involvement consisted of Tata Communications MOVE platform, powering connected car solutions in over 600,000 JLR vehicles.
