eCall modules test met with software solution
From April 1, 2018 onward, all newly registered cars and light trucks in the European Union must be equipped with the eCall automatic emergency system. An option released by Rohde & Schwarz for the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator together with test automation software delivers standard-compliant, fully automated performance tests for the GNSS receiver integrated in the eCall module.
Compact GNSS antenna launched at CES 2018
Manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules, Antenova, launched a brand new compact, all-in-one active GNSS antenna, part number M20047-1, at the CES show in Las Vegas. It adds another option to the company’s existing range of positioning antennas and modules.The M20047-1 operates in the 1,559-1,609MHz bands, and offers designers a useful, space-saving option for small tracking devices.
Boosting GNSS with sensor fusion
Have you ever been led astray by your car’s GPS? After following it blindly for an hour, it suddenly dawns on you that you’re heading in the wrong direction.The immediate instinct is to blame the device, even though it’s much more likely that you misinterpreted its instructions or mistyped your destination. Either way, you’re fuming behind the wheel and not an inch closer to where you want to go.

Global positioning in every new wearable, whatever its size
Delivering the right combination of power and performance in GNSS receivers demands an innovative and adaptive approach to signal acquisition, satellite tracking and position decoding. By:Florian Bousquet, Market Development Manager, Product Center Positioning, u-blox.
eCall test solution wins CETECOM approval
From April 1, 2018 onward, car manufacturers are required to equip new vehicles for sale in the EU with an eCall module. In the event of a serious accident, this emergency call system automatically sends data to the uniform European emergency phone number 112 to facilitate faster response by emergency services.
CES 2018: SRC-based V2X solution exceeds USDOT requirements
Autotalks and STMicroelectronics have begun working together to save lives and improve mobility on the roads through the use of DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) -based Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications technology. The partners will highlight both Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) use cases during CES 2018 in Las Vegas.
Advancing accuracy over 20 years
The Galileo global navigation satellite system is raining down its signals across the globe, two decades since it was first conceived.One of the few European‑based manufacturers of GNSS receiver chips, u-blox, also twenty years old this year, has been closely keeping pace with Galileo’s development through their joint history.
Connecting cars for over 12 years
The automotive industry and u-blox found each other back in sometime around 2005. It was exactly anticipated or planned, but looking back, it’s been a fantastic adventure.Since, u-blox has sold dozens of millions of positioning and communication devices to automotive Tier Ones and OEMs. Theautomotiveindustry has become one of our most important verticals, generating over a quarter of the revenue.
