Micron Works With Qualcomm to Enable 5G Automotive Platform for Next-Generation Vehicles
February 27 2019 - 3:05AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), an industry leader in
innovative memory and storage solutions, today announced it is
working with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm
Incorporated, to enable an advanced automotive connectivity
solution that leverages 5G networks for autonomous driving and
direct cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication. The
new Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Automotive 5G Platform will feature a
custom Micron 149 ball count multichip package, allowing for speeds
of up to 20 times faster than current LTE-Advanced modems. Faster
modem speeds widen the possibilities for vehicles to connect to
other vehicles, roadside infrastructure and beyond.
The Snapdragon Automotive 5G Platform with integrated C-V2X
direct communication technology is designed to provide the low
latency, high data speed, and reliable cellular connection coverage
required for next-generation connected cars and autonomous driving.
Micron created a portfolio of ultra-small 8x9.5mm, 149 ball count
multichip package (MCP) solutions with SLC NAND plus LPDDR4 rated
at automotive temperature grade to pair with the Snapdragon
Automotive 5G Platform, creating opportunities for immersive
in-vehicle experiences and automotive safety.
“5G technology will drive further innovation in connected
vehicles and deliver advanced functionality that is necessary for
next-generation vehicles,” said Kris Baxter, vice president of
marketing for Micron’s Embedded Business Unit. “Integrating
Micron’s multichip package with the Snapdragon Automotive 5G
Platform will accelerate the push toward digitally enabled
transportation solutions that enhance reliability and safety.”
Micron’s broad portfolio of volatile and nonvolatile memory
products is optimized for automotive applications and supported by
a formal product longevity program. Micron’s wafer fabrication
facility located in Manassas, Virginia, is a leading production
plant dedicated to long-lifecycle memory and storage technologies.
The company is the first memory solutions provider to earn
International Automotive Task Force (IATF) 16949:2016 quality
certification, a key milestone that is a clear reflection of
Micron’s relentless commitment to quality. For more information on
