Connected Autonomous Vehicles
Automotive and Transportation
Driving antenna and RF design advancements for use in cellular V2X and high precision position, navigation & timing systems.
We design antennas with superior performance, reliability and form factors for connected autonomous vehicles from the world’s leading IoT and automotive companies. We are committed to achieving the highest standards of quality with a goal of zero defects, and all our design and test facilities are IATF 16949 qualified.
Enabling Technologies
Connected autonomous vehicles have become a reality. For autonomous vehicles supporting multiple ADAS features from Level-1 to Level-5 autonomy, connectivity is an important aspect of realizing the end-user functions to keep vehicles connected with road infrastructure, network and other road users. This is possible with advancements in Cellular V2X (CV2X) technologies, 3GPP standards as well as precise centimeter-level positioning with GNSS infrastructure and high-end receivers. Key technical requirements includes:
- C-V2X (Vehicle-to-other)
- C-V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle)
- Dead Reckoning
- Integration
- Multipath Mitigation
- Positioning and Navigation
- Vehicle Network Integration
Spotlight Applications
Robot Taxis
Robot Taxis are high-end Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) with L4/L5 autonomous ADAS features which offer driverless, fully autonomous features for commuters. We offer PNT & CV2X solutions to realize the end-user functions for such Robo taxis.
Public Transportation
With urbanization set to grow twofold, public transport is a huge challenge for cities worldwide. Smart public transport means increased efficiencies and an improved society by connecting railways, trams, and buses. We offer connectivity solutions that realize this.
Fleet Management
Save money and drive down operational costs, by using real-time data and insights to monitor cargo, vehicle, and driver performance. We offer off-the-shelf IoT solutions, which can be deployed almost immediately or custom-built solutions.
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Driverless industrial vehicles, which are designed for factory automation to move cargo load or employee staff between different manufacturing & warehouse stations. Our IoT solutions offer indoor precise positioning where GNSS signals are not available.
Truck Platooning with 5G
Truck platooning is key for V2V connectivity, where trucks drive at a close distance from each other to increase efficiency as the first truck opens a wind tunnel. Trucks need to maintain tight coordination for accurate positioning data exchange. Our CV2X solutions make this possible.
Micro-mobility and E-mobility
Multimodal mobility solutions cover everything from electric vehicles, scooters, e-bikes and e-buses, allowing passengers to choose between all available transportation options. Our antennas and IoT solutions offer cm-level positioning and contextual information about e-mobility devices.
Navigating complex regulatory requirements
From antenna to fully integrated IoT solutions, we’ve spent years working through the pain points of certifications, performance testing, and overall regulatory compliance so you don’t have to. Our products and services help ensure you can achieve time-to-market success without an issue with one of the automotive and transportation regulatory considerations below.

Crash avoidance - Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)
Using our expertise in technologies such as high-precision GNSS, integrate high precision positioning into vehicles to automatically detect collision scenarios and warn drivers in real-time. We can integrate technologies that share information about driving behaviors and deliver cm-level positioning to autonomous vehicles.
Support Road Systems - Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I)
Share real-time data to change driver behavior based on information collected from traffic lights, signage, streetlights and more. For example, communicate road markings with automated vehicle sensors so drivers can detect them in even the most extreme weather conditions.
Increase Road User Safety - Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P)
Utilize our experience in cellular connectivity, to exchange safety messages and alerts from vehicles to pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooter users about the speed, location, and direction of an oncoming vehicle. For example, communicate in-vehicle warnings to drivers about a pedestrian on the upcoming roadway.
