The UBX-P3 from u-blox is a DSRC/802.11p V2X and Wi-Fi chip developed for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication. The UBX-P3 communicates via the IEEE 802.11p wireless standard, referred to as Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) in the US. The DSRC/802.11p technology is mature and available for immediate deployment of V2X systems.
V2X technology leverages wireless communication for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
communication, giving all vehicles on the road a shared real-time perception of their surroundings. In addition to increasing road safety, V2X technology improves traffic management and enables wide-ranging applications such as truck platooning as well as in areas including smart cities, mining, and agriculture.
The UBX-P3 is the smallest concurrent dual-channel V2X chip that measures only 9 x 11 x 1.04 mm. It concurrently communicates on two channels, which means that safety and service messages can be processed continuously providing greater safety in traffic. Alternatively, it can be used to enable the chip to simultaneously communicate on the same channel using two antennas, thus providing vehicles full coverage with no blind spots.
