STMicroelectronics and Autotalks Ignite Cooperation to Deliver Vehicle-to-Vehicle/Infrastructure Communication for Safer, Cleaner Motoring
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Leaders in advanced automotive electronics combine strengths
to deliver mass market-optimized second-generation V2X chipset
Geneva, Switzerland, Kfar Netter, Israel, November 3, 2014 - As the drive to
realize V2X communications -- Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-
Infrastructure (V2I) -- gathers pace, STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, and Israel-based Autotalks, a V2X-chipset market pioneer and
leader in the first wave of V2X deployments, have announced that they are
cooperating to deliver a mass market-optimized V2X chipset for widespread
deployment by 2017.
IHS forecasts that worldwide vehicle-to-vehicle communication sales will amount
to nearly 700,000 units in 2017, rising to 5.6 million units in 2020 and as much
as 55 million in 2025. The vast majority of these sales will be in the US and
Europe-based on DSRC and the ITS G5 standard-as well as Japan, including both
original equipment and aftermarket units. The U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
released an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on V2X. A readiness
report indicates that V2X is ready for deployment for achieving dramatic
improvement of road safety.
ST and Autotalks are working to produce a mass market-optimized second-
generation V2X chipset. The collaboration enables both parties to leverage
complementary technologies and resources. Autotalks brings extensive
semiconductor, system, and software experience in V2X and associated know-how in
security, mobility, communication, RF, signal processing, and positioning. ST
offers chip-design expertise in areas such as communications and navigation,
with advanced manufacturing capabilities, in addition to extensive strategic
partnerships and longevity with all of the automotive tiers to enable broader
market evaluation and accelerate adoption of the next-generation chipset.
"Cooperating with ST brings added value to our proven and industry-leading V2X
program," said Nir Sasson, CEO, Autotalks. "Working together, we can extend the
scope of the V2X chipset to meet the next-generation objectives, like security
and functional safety for autonomous vehicles, that are unmatched by any other
similar projects in the industry."
"Our technological expertise, leading position in automotive semiconductors, and
the processes we have established for delivering and supporting advanced
automotive ICs, empower us to ensure the success of this project within the
2017 timeframe," said Marco Monti, Executive Vice President, Automotive Product
Group General Manager, STMicroelectronics. "We expect our collaboration with
Autotalks to deliver a high-quality and cost-effective solution that will enable
widespread deployment of V2X to support a cleaner environment and safer driving
for all."
STMicroelectronics' fast-prototyping competencies, advanced manufacturing
capabilities, high-quality technologies and processes, and global infrastructure
will help accelerate time to market, facilitate design-in and customer support,
and ensure product longevity.
Technical Notes:
V2X communication uses wireless technology for the exchange of the information
between vehicles and infrastructure. In order to support safety-critical
applications, V2X is required to operate with extremely low latency, highest
reliability of transmission and reception of wireless signals, highly secured
communication, and high accuracy of positioning information. It uses primarily
the 5.9GHz band and, with ratified standardization, the interoperability of
communication, security and messaging is enabled.
Autotalks' current V2X chipset comprises an AEC Q-100 communication processor
and RF transceiver that embodies the company's multidisciplinary expertise in a
worldwide-compatible V2X solution. Autotalks pre-integrated solution accelerates
V2X deployment and optimizes V2X system cost, while providing the highest
performance and reliability. The second-generation solution further increases
the level of integration and cost effectiveness for supporting mass-market
requirements.
STMicroelectronics has technical expertise in telematics, car infotainment, and
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning, which complements
Autotalks' superior V2X technology. By taking advantage of ST's Teseo II and
Teseo III state-of-the-art single-chip GNSS receivers, the two companies are
able to apply their complementary technologies into convergence of V2X,
telematics, and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS).
