New Bosch device bridges multiple vehicle communications standards
Bosch has developed a new multi-standard communications unit that will allow vehicles to share and receive data from any connected device.
There is currently no single accepted standard for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, with different regions of the world using blends of cellular and WiFi transmission. China primarily uses Cellular-V2X technology (C-V2X), while Europe and the United States are incorporating transmission standards based on WiFi (DSRC and ITS-G5) alongside C-V2X. As such, for vehicles to operate globally, a universal communications tool is desirable.
“Bosch is taking a multi-standard approach when it comes to V2X,” said Bosch board member Dr Dirk Hoheisel. “We have developed a universal connectivity unit capable of communicating using all of the transmission standards implemented in connected automobiles.
“Thanks to Bosch’s all-in-one principle for connected vehicles, as many drivers as possible around the world can benefit from the added safety, comfort, and convenience provided by V2X.”
