ZTE Works with Qualcomm to Commercialise C-V2X Technology

C-V2X Module from ZTE Aims to Utilise Qualcomm Chipset Solution in Next Gen Vehicles and Roadside Infrastructure

ZTE Mobile Devices will be working with Qualcomm Technologies, a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, to drive the commercialisation of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications technology.

These efforts build upon a broad industry commitment to help drive the commercialisation of this technology for enhanced vehicular safety, improved traffic efficiency, and to pave the way for autonomous driving.

The company will demonstrate the future of connected car solutions at Mobile World Congress 2018 with an interactive demonstration at its booth.

“As a global industry leader, ZTE is committed to the development of technologies that will lead the way to the 5G, connected car, and IoT future. We are excited to deepen our relationship with Qualcomm Technologies as we develop and implement C-V2X wireless communication technology to drive the commercialisation of C-V2X in the near future.

“Our deep understanding of end-to-end solutions enables us to be the first Chinese module manufacturer to announce a C-V2X module and test terminals based on the Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset , providing strong support for testing and commercialisation of C-V2X.

“The company looks forward to working together with Qualcomm Technologies and the broad ecosystem in promoting the integration and development of C-V2X for improvements in driving safety, traffic efficiency, environmental protection, and autonomous driving,” said Jeff Yee, Vice President of Product Marketing and Strategy at ZTE Mobile Devices.

The company is one of the global leaders in 5G innovation, providing connectivity in more than 160 countries around the world. As a global leading provider of end-to-end network solutions, it is able to provide a comprehensive approach and innovative solutions to pave the way for autonomous driving in the future 5G era.

The company is committed to the development and application of C-V2X wireless communication technologies such as C-V2X and 5G in the field of connected cars, focusing the connection service and providing an end-to-end solution. Its connected car solutions have been currently commercial in China with leading automotive companies, as well as in Europe and other segments.

“We are pleased the company has expressed their interest in accelerating C-V2X direct communications using the Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset. Qualcomm Technologies and ZTE have a long history of collaboration to provide innovative communication technology solutions.

“The Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset solution is designed to allow low latency communications for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Roadside Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) operations without the involvement of a cellular network by operating on a designed and harmonised 5.9 GHz ITS spectrum,” said Nakul Duggal, Vice President of Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
