CEVA and Autotalks have collaborated to add C-V2X Rel. 14/15 support to the CEVA-XC DSP based Autotalks chipset, making it the first and only available solution capable of supporting both DSRC and C-V2X direct communications. The solution was demonstrated at CES 2019 by leading automotive tiers HARMAN, Valeo and others.
V2X communication is heading to mass-market adoption as the world's largest OEMs announced intentions to equip their new car models with the technology. In recent years, V2X diverged into two different technologies, DSRC and C-V2X, with fundamentally different architectures, making it difficult to harmonize a single global solution. Autotalks, leveraging the software-defined capabilities of the CEVA-XC DSP in its chipset, addresses the need for a global solution by equipping its mass-market ready 2nd generation chipsets with C-V2X in addition to their native support of DSRC, at the highest security level.
Autotalks' deployment-ready, 2nd generation V2X chipset is the world's first available solution which supports both DSRC based on 802.11p/ITS-G5 standards and C-V2X based on 3GPP specifications. The chipset allows customers to easily toggle between DSRC and C-V2X communications. The new chipset isolates V2X from the cellular Network Access Device (NAD), thus providing domain separation & security, scalability, and potential cost-optimizations of Telematic Control Unit (TCU) deployments. The separation of V2X from in-vehicle infotainment ensures that the safety-related purpose of the V2X system is not compromised. Furthermore, V2X isolation combined with Autotalks' recognized cyber security leadership enables a truly secure platform. Autotalks' global V2X chipset is currently available for customer and partner C-V2X demonstrations. Autotalks will present this chipset at Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona from 25th-28th February in Hall 5 Stand 5E71.
