Modems enable ubiqitous in-car LTE deployment
Qualcommhas added the SnapdragonX12(9x40) and X5 (9x28) LTE modems to its Snapdragon Automotive Solutions range, supporting automotive connectivity. The Snapdragon X12 LTE modem (9x40) is designed for advanced telematics and connected infotainment features, supporting greater coverage at download speeds up to Category 10 (up to 450Mb/s downlink and 100Mb/s uplink).
MWC 2015: Fleet tracking demo takes centre stage
Anritsu’s stand at Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona (March 2-5) will feature a sophisticated, cloud-based connected car system for fleet tracking developedat theSmart Systems Laboratory, University of Hertfordshire in the UK, and demonstrated together using satellite positioning technology GNSS Simulator from Spectracom.
Microsemi to showcase wireless comms products at MWC
Located in 2C27MR, Hall 2, Meeting Room C27 at Mobile World Congress 2015, Microsemi will showcase how its innovative product portfolio addresses wireless communications and small cells deployment. Microsemi will be sharing end-to-end timing solutions that address the requirements from the core of the network to the edge, including:
Motion trackers feature 3D inertial sensor assembly
Farnell element14 has introduced the MTi product portfolio from Xsens which provides a reliable industry standard for MEMS attitude and heading reference systems. The 4th generation MTi offers reliable MEMS based AHRS, VRU, and IMUs. The MTi 10-series gives the system integrator a choice of three different integration levels (IMU, VRU, AHRS).
Smart antenna positioning modules enable IoT technology
Enabling the adoption of IoT technology, Telit Wireless Solutions has introduced positioning modules with embedded smart antennas. Measuring 11x11mm, the Jupiter SE868-A multi-constellation GNSS module features embedded Flash memory and integrated LNA on one side and an SMT antenna on the other. The Galileo ready device supports simultaneous tracking of GPS, QZSS and Glonass.
Testing eCall in-vehicle systems
With the EU aiming to make the automatic eCall (emergency Call) system mandatory in all new cars by the end of 2015, conformance test systems that enable manufacturers to quickly and reliably verify their eCall solutions are in high demand. By Christian Hof, Product Manager, Mobile Radio Testers, Rohde & Schwarz.
Infotainment system enhances in-car interaction
Aiming to enhance the way that consumers interact with their vehicles, Texas Instruments and Ford have collaborated to produce the Ford SYNC 3, a communications and infotainment system.The SYNC 3 incorporates TI’s OMAP 5 processor, a member of the Jacinto automotive processor family, the WiLink 8Q single chip, combining WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GNSS, power management and FPD-Link III Serialiser/Deserialiser (SerDes).
Precision timing modules target mission critical systems
Alpha Micro Components has launched the NEO-M8T and LEA-M8T precision timing modules, ideal for mission-critical infrastructure systems including mobile communication networks, power generation and distribution systems and seismic measurements. Highly compact, these new surface-mount modules are able to generate a precise reference clock with <20 ns accuracy. The receivers offer high sensitivity (-157 dBm signal acquisition with assisted GNSS...
GNSS technology enables V2X system
GNSS technology from u-blox has been selected by Cohda Wireless for use in its Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) equipment, collectively called ‘V2X’. MK5, the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) based V2X system is a next-gen ADAS, enabling early warning of an imminent collision, oncoming traffic, presence of road workers and unsafe speed based on vehicles in the vicinity.
Low-power hub supports multiple GNSS systems
Broadcom has announced the industry's first GNSS location hub that supports Galileo, a global satellite system being built by the European Union. The Broadcom BCM4774 simultaneously supports Galileo, GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, QZSS and BeiDou satellite systems.
