Automotive
The automotive industry has undergone a significant transformation due to the widespread adoption of telematics technology in vehicles. This includes the integration of GPS, Cellular, Bluetooth Wi-Fi, and Satellite Radio systems. Gone are the days when satellite navigation and advanced in-vehicle entertainment were exclusive to luxury vehicles. As telematics technology becomes more accessible and cost-effective, vehicles are evolving into intelligent platforms that support mobile lifestyles. The advancement of communication technology and the growing demand for diverse telematics services have made RF communications systems indispensable components of modern automobiles.

Applications:

Autonomous Vehicles

Self-driving vehicles operate without human control, using sensors and advanced processing to safely drive and navigate.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

ADAS systems use sensors to monitor vehicle surroundings, alert drivers of unsafe conditions, and take corrective actions such as automatically braking.

Cameras

Vehicle cameras have evolved beyond simple backup functions to providing 360 degree surround-vehicle views, driver monitoring, and object recognition for autonomous navigation.

GPS Navigation

GPS is a satellite navigation system that continuously provides location and time information up to centimeter-level accuracy.

High Bandwidth Infotainment

Advanced infotainment systems utilize high resolution displays and instrument clusters to deliver video feeds, safety alerts, GPS navigation, interfaces to Internet applications and Bluetooth-connected devices, and other services.

Remote Start and Vehicle Control

Wireless key fobs and smartphone applications enable remote start, climate control, door/window controls, and keyless entry.

Antenna Connections

Automotive antennas support Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular connectivity, Bluetooth, remote start and control, AM/FM/XM and satellite radio, and DSRC/V2X communication.

DSRC/V2X Communication

Wireless data sharing protocols between vehicles and external objects facilitate safety systems, autonomous navigation, and intelligent transportation systems.
