Reference platform could help to commercialise connected car concepts

Qualcomm Technologies has unveiled the Qualcomm Connected Car Reference Platform, designed to enable automakers and their suppliers to explore, prototype and commercialise connectivity designs using modules and solutions featuring on its roadmap.

The platform features a range of Qualcomm technology, including Snapdragon X12 and X5 LTE modems, quad constellation Global Navigation Satellite System and 2D/3D dead reckoning location solutions, VIVE Wi-Fi technology and dedicated short range communications for V2X. The platform also features in-vehicle networking technologies, including Gigabit Ethernet with A2B and CAN interfaces.

“With the Connected Car Reference Platform, Qualcomm Technologies has developed a platform for automakers, module OEM customers and developers that emphasises scalability, modularity and security for integrating and managing multiple cutting-edge wireless technologies inside vehicles,” said Nakul Duggal, vice president, product management.

A common framework allows designs to scale from a basic telematics control unit up to an integrated wireless gateway connecting multiple ECUs within the car. The platform also provides a degree of future proofing, allowing connectivity hardware and software to be upgraded, while also handling issues such as wireless coexistence and third party applications support.
