✦ AI Summary
LG Electronics said it has supplied its R16-based vehicle telematics solution to a mass-produced model from a European automaker.
It said this is the first time R16-based vehicle telematics has been applied to a mass-produced vehicle in Europe.
LG Electronics said the product, which integrates the communication module and up to 12 antennas, is linked with LG AlphaWare.
LG Electronics said it has supplied its vehicle telematics solution based on Release 16 (R16) to a mass-produced model from a European automaker. LG Electronics announced on the 19th that its R16-based smart telematics solution has been applied to a mass-produced model from a European automaker.
It is the first time R16-based vehicle telematics has been applied to a mass-produced vehicle in Europe. R16 is a standard that complements the performance and stability of Release 15 (R15), the first 5G standard.
R16 supports improved data transmission reliability and reduced latency. It also supports ultra-reliable, low-latency communications.
As vehicle softwareization advances and vehicle data throughput increases, transmission stability and response speed are becoming more important as core performance factors in in-vehicle communication systems.
LG Electronics explained that the data error rate of this solution is 0.001%, and the data transmission latency between the telematics module and the base station is at the 1 ms level. It added that the error rate has improved by 100 times compared with 4G, while latency has improved by 5 times.
Vehicle telematics is a technology that connects automobiles with external communication networks and serves to send and receive various data and services. It is used for Over-the-Air (OTA)-based wireless software updates for vehicles, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)-based information exchange between vehicles, objects and infrastructure, and high-capacity data transmission for autonomous driving.
According to LG Electronics, R16-based telematics focuses on reducing communication latency and communication errors in these functions, aiming to enable their stable implementation. Through this, it can improve communication stability in SDV and autonomous driving systems, where real-time data processing is important.
Existing vehicle communication systems had a structure in which the telematics module and the exterior shark-fin antenna were separate, and as communication functions such as 5G, Wi-Fi, V2X and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) expanded, the existing structure required antennas to be placed throughout the vehicle.
LG Electronics integrated the communication module and up to 12 antennas in this product. LG Electronics said that integrating the module and antennas reduces signal loss in the connection process between components and simplifies wiring and space layout, while also reducing installation-space burden and cost burden for automakers. It also explained that the vehicle can be designed without an external shark-fin antenna, and that the product was designed to maintain stable connectivity even in diverse driving environments such as hot desert regions.
LG Electronics is linking this next-generation telematics with its vehicle software platform, 'LG AlphaWare.' 'LG AlphaWare' consists of the vehicle entertainment solution 'PlayWare,' 'MetaWare' using AR, MR and AI, and the ADAS solution 'VisionWare' using AI algorithms and camera sensors.
LG Electronics emphasized its related competitiveness, saying it has ranked No. 1 in global telematics market share. The company said the claim was based on estimates by market research firm TechInsights.
LG Electronics also said it joined the 'Global 6G Alliance' in March and is participating in 6G standard development and system verification. Eun Seok-hyun, president and head of LG Electronics' VS Business Division, said vehicle communications are emerging as a core mobility competitiveness factor and added that the company plans to continue unveiling innovative solutions. He also said the company aims to strengthen its leadership in the telematics market in the AIDV era as well as beyond SDV.
