[Automotive Video Coverage] u-blox Expands from GNSS Powerhouse to Communication Technology
Published2017.07.07 14:33u-blox, which participated in Automotive Innovation Day 2017 hosted by Automotive Electronics on the 5th, showcased a high-precision GNSS module and a series of automotive transceiver modules.
The 'VERA-P1' is a module that enables communication between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure, and is a new product introduced this year by u-blox as it expands into communication technology. It is a technology that enables next-generation Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and complies with the IEEE 802.11p standard. It can communicate up to approximately 1 km and is designed to comply with WQVR and DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication).
The 'TOBY-L4' series is a telematics module that integrates LTE, UMTS, and GSM connectivity functions into an embedded processor, enabling various applications on a single device. The module's core feature is connectivity, allowing it to provide data speeds of up to 300 Mbps through complete gateway and Carrier Aggregation (CA) functions from a single device. It can be used in combination with Wi-Fi as well as LTE.
The technology of estimating location by combining sensors to receive continuous signals in situations where GPS signals are interrupted, such as in tunnels or subways, is called Dead Reckoning (DR). The 'NEO-M8L' is a product that utilizes this technology. While GPS generally has an error range of several meters, this module offers an accuracy of several centimeters.

[Automotive Video Coverage] Maxim Unveils Tuner Solution That Reduces Cable Count
Maxim, which participated in Automotive Innovation Day 2017 hosted by Automotive Electronics on the 5th, introduced a Software Defined Radio (SDR) solution. SDR employs a method that converts RF signals into digital form, whereas conventional systems transmit RF signals as analog signals between the antenna and head unit. The previous approach suffers significantly from noise interference as RF signals travel along cables. Additionally, as cables become longer, the associated costs increase. Maxim's remote tuner solution simplifies head unit design and reduces the required cable quantity. The radio tuner is located near the antenna, and all tuner outputs are serialized in a single cable using GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link). Based on the 'max2175 RF to Bits' chip, analog signals are converted to digital format, enabling long-distance transmission up to 15~30m.

[Automotive Video Coverage] Microchip Showcases Infotainment Solution Emphasizing Connectivity
Microchip, which participated in Automotive Innovation Day 2017 held on the 5th under the auspices of Automotive Electronics, unveiled USB hub and car infotainment application solutions. The High Speed USB 2.0 hub serves to enable direct access to CarPlay. Standard USB communication operates on a host-and-slave basis. When iOS or Android enters the car infotainment, the smartphone itself becomes the host and the head unit becomes the device. In this case, since USB cannot connect host-to-host, the hub provides that function instead.
