CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zubie, a leading connected-car platform and service provider for consumers and businesses, today launched its new in-car Wi-Fi solution powered by the Verizon 4G LTE network.

It accommodates multiple users and devices, enabling entertainment streaming, general web surfing, email, messaging, and more.

"We know from our experience in the connected-car market that in-car Wi-Fi resonates strongly with a wide array of customers," said Tim Kelly, Zubie CEO.
