NXP Semiconductors and Hitachi Solutions Collaborate on Secure DSRC-based V2X Solution for Japanese Market
September 17 2018 - 2:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), the world’s largest
supplier of automotive semiconductors1, and Hitachi Solutions,
Ltd., a leader in V2X software platforms for the Japanese
automotive market, have announced a partnership to develop a new
V2X solution targeted at the Japanese market [J-ITS]. The solution
will employ an NXP developed V2X modem and processor and a full
Hitachi Solutions V2X software stack, providing automakers that
target the Japanese market with a head start in the development of
their own V2X solutions, whether they are on board units (OBUs) or
full Telematics Modules. The solution’s ability to address 5.9GHz
and 760MHz V2X implementations means that other markets, such as
those in Europe and the United States, could be addressed with a
single, reusable design, offering savings in automotive development
costs.
V2X technology allows vehicles to “see” around corners and
communicate with other cars and infrastructure. It is instrumental
in safety critical applications such as platooning and emergency
braking and delivers low latency for real-time communication. The
technology also operates in a range that exceeds one mile, even in
areas where cellular network connections are not available.
Providing vehicles with V2X capability requires extensive and
costly electronic pre-development work. To meet this need,
carmakers have a choice between developing the foundation for these
technologies in-house or working with innovative companies to
source pre-made solutions.
To address these expensive pre-development challenges, Hitachi
Solutions and NXP have partnered to provide developers for the
Japanese automotive market with a flexible DSRC-based V2X solution.
The partnership will combine NXP’s V2X chipset and Hitachi
Solutions’ V2X Software stack in a solution that is capable of
supporting V2X implementations in the EU, US and Korea (5.9GHz) as
well as Japan (760MHz).
As part of the cooperation with Hitachi Solutions, NXP will
implement the SAF5400, the world's first automotive qualified,
high-performance single-chip DSRC modem that also supports Japan
(760MHz). Its unique scalable architecture, industry leading
features such as fast startup time, long range, dual digital
antenna diversity and leading-edge Software Defined Radio (SDR)
technologies offer car makers flexible options for global V2X
adoption and field upgradeability. SAF5400 is the 2nd
generation of the only global V2X solution and has been proven on
the road since 2017.
The secure V2X single-chip modem incorporates NXP's Software
Defined Radio technology, which provides customers with a platform
that supports different regional standards with a single hardware
solution. This integration reduces development, qualification and
maintenance efforts significantly and eases the challenges of
global V2X rollouts. The modem includes a hardware engine for
secure verification of incoming messages. The ultra-compact, single
chip integration of analog RF with digital baseband processing
provides a flexible architecture for different processor options,
dependent on the need of the customer.
The NXP and Hitachi Solutions V2X solution will be available in
Japan by 2019 and additional markets of Europe and North America
soon after. Hitachi Solutions will support all layers above the
SAF5400 firmware including network, facilities and application. NXP
and Hitachi Solutions will offer strong Japan-based technical
support as well as corresponding support in North America and
Europe after additional rollouts.
“We believe this solution will be the best choice for automakers
targeting Japanese and global V2X market,” said Hideji Morita, Vice
President and Executive Officer, Hitachi Solutions. “Hitachi
Solutions is happy to partner with NXP to offer our mutual
customers the V2X solution with our robust software stack and NXP’s
ground breaking V2X technology.”
“We are pleased to collaborate with Hitachi Solutions on a
solution that will enable developers in the Japanese auto market to
develop the next generation of V2X for Japan and beyond,” said
Patrick Morgan, VP & GM Product Line ADAS Modems, NXP. “Our
unique and broad V2X product portfolio combined with Hitachi
Solutions’ V2X software stack is a powerful combination.”
