LG Electronics is working to provide 5G telematics to European vehicle manufacturers with a set-up employing the latest 3GPP specifications.
The key takeaway is LG’s latest system is faster, tapping the capabilities of Release-16 specifications to make data transmission more reliable and less prone to delay than equipment running the 3GPP’s previous iteration of 5G standards.
LG booked a 100-fold improvement in reliability and a fivefold gain in the rate data is transmitted between a telematics module and base station.
Aside from its claim to being the first company providing such a system in Europe, LG stated there would be benefits for the software defined vehicle sector by delivering “essential infrastructure” for services including OTA software updates, vehicle-to-everything connectivity and autonomous driving.
LG explained telematics systems using Release-16 deliver the services “with greater stability”, boosting autonomous driving ambitions “where rapid response and safety are critical”.
The set-up runs LG’s aWare vehicle software, which spans entertainment and driver assistance functions. The company incorporated 12 antennas in one hardware item to help manufacturers with positioning and minimise the wiring required.
Eun Suk-hyun, head of Vehicle Solutions Business Division, said automotive communication is now “a core competitive advantage in mobility”.
