Autotalks, a global leader in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications solutions, used Rohde & Schwarz test expertise and equipment to validate the performance of its 3rd generation V2X chipset. TEKTON3 and SECTON3 were validated using the latest 5G-V2X capabilities of the R&S CMP180 wireless communication tester. The two companies will jointly present a 5G-V2X test setup at Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona.
Through this partnership, Rohde & Schwarz and the Israeli fabless semiconductor company Autotalks will work together to ensure the correct operation of 5G-V2X. This will enable us to offer the next generation of his V2X technology to the entire ecosystem. This is an important step towards enhancing vehicle communications and realizing the safety and efficiency benefits of autonomous driving.
New 5G-V2X features on the R&S CMP180
The R&S CMP180 wireless communications test platform is a non-signaling solution for wireless devices supporting cellular and non-cellular technologies. Recently, 5G-V2X test capabilities were added by Rohde & Schwarz to his R&S CMP180. This means he can test the full range of his V2X technologies supported by Autotalks chipsets using one piece of equipment. This single-box tester is equipped with 2 analyzers, 2 generators, 2×8 RF ports, and can be scaled up by stacking multiple testers. This makes the R&S CMP180 an ideal solution for simultaneous measurements of different technologies and devices in R&D and series production, allowing customers to use the R&S CMP180 to measure all three V2X sidelink standards simultaneously. You will be able to test it.
New 5G-V2X concurrency capabilities for Autotalks chipsets
The Autotalks chipsets, TEKTON3 and SECTON3, are the first chipsets to support all four V2X sidelink communication standards. LTE-V2X, IEEE 802.11p (DSRC), and the new 5G-V2X and 802.11bd. These chipsets not only support 5G-V2X operation, but can do so while operating other radio technologies simultaneously. This allows you to incorporate 5G-V2X while maintaining your installed base of legacy technologies. For example, in Europe, where 5G-V2X is expected to launch first, DSRC can also be supported in parallel.
5G-V2X accelerates sidelink communications in road traffic
V2X is a key technology that increases traffic efficiency, improves road safety, and enhances autonomous driving. This enables direct, reliable, and low-latency communications between vehicles (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-pedestrians (V2P). His 5G-V2X, with its high-order modulation and bidirectional group communications, enables new use cases including collaborative operations such as lane merging and advanced sensor data sharing.
Christoph Pointner, Senior Vice President, Mobile Radio Testers, Rohde & Schwarz
Our close collaboration with Autotalks, a pioneering V2X chipset vendor, will enable us to cross-validate our solutions, provide a trusted reference for our respective customers, and accelerate the deployment of 5G-V2X across the ecosystem. I can. We are proud to collaborate with his Autotalks and that the new his 5G-V2X capabilities of our wireless communication testers have helped the industry in this important step.
Amos Freund, Vice President of Research and Development, Autotalks
Validation is a critical step in the product development cycle and a condition for an interoperable ecosystem. Our collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz will help us and the entire market by maturing 5G-V2X technology. We are proud to collaborate with R&S to test his 3rd generation device, the world’s first 5G-V2X chipset.
