Qualcomm Technologies has introduced a new version of its connected car reference platform using the Snapdragon™ X16 LTE modem to help car manufacturers support peak download speeds up to 1 Gbps.
The reference platform allows carmakers to integrate the broad range of additional wireless and networking technologies required in today’s vehicles, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), with optional support for DSRC and Cellular-V2X.
The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem supports Gigabit-class download speeds, up to 10 times as fast as first generation 4G LTE devices. The modem is designed to employ sophisticated digital signal processing to pack more bits per transmission with 256-QAM, receives data on four antennas through 4x4 MIMO, and supports for up to 4x Carrier Aggregation.
The connected car reference platform also integrates Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2, sensor support for stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, quad-constellation GNSS and 3D Dead Reckoning (DR) location solutions, with optional support for vehicle-to-everything communications using DSRC/802.11p or Cellular-V2X.
Qualcomm Technologies also provides a framework for the execution of custom OEM and third-party telematics applications, with a reference hardware module in two different band configurations, North America and Rest of World (including Europe).
