Wireless Telematic Unit for Vehicle Connectivity

As the automotive industry rapidly evolves towards connected and intelligent transportation systems, the demand for advanced telematics solutions is growing. This system integrates multiple wireless technologies to enable enhanced connectivity in modern vehicles. It incorporates Bluetooth^® Low Energy (LE), Wi-Fi, and LTE modules, along with GPS and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. This telematics unit upgrades existing electronic control units (ECUs) for cloud connectivity. NFC technology integration allows for innovative applications, such as linking NFC-enabled smartphones with vehicle infotainment systems, enhancing user experience and connectivity options.

System Benefits:

• Transforms automotive clusters into connected clusters, facilitating software-defined vehicle (SDV) implementation and supporting over-the-air (OTA) ECU upgrades.
• Enables in-vehicle payments using an NFC card and access to vehicle data with a single tap.
• Onboard level shifters provide flexibility to interface with various voltage levels.
• Selectable supply source (onboard/external interfacing system).
• Features Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi modules with the industry's lowest power consumption, optimizing energy efficiency.
• Board-to-board connections are applicable in systems like a TFT instrument cluster with telematics board and vehicle control unit.
