Hyundai Mobis has announced that it is developing a 5G-based antenna-integrated telematics solution to strengthen its automotive electronics business in the mobility sector. The Multi-function Telematics Control Unit (MTCU) is a telematics solution based on 5G communication. Telematics integrates information and communication technology into vehicles to provide functions such as route guidance, accident and theft detection and remote control.
“To achieve rapid market entry in the next-generation connected car service sector, we will complete product development by the first half of this year and secure market leadership in the global market,” said Jung Soo-Kyung, executive vice president and head of the automotive electronics business unit at Hyundai Mobis.
Hyundai Mobis is developing next-generation 5G-based telematics technology to support mass-market deployment of enhanced connected car services. The technology enables services such as high-precision mapping, remote vehicle control for autonomous driving, and ultra-high-definition streaming.
Current 4G-based communication supports services such as over-the-air (OTA) updates, car-to-home connectivity and infotainment streaming. In contrast, 5G-based control solutions are considered a key capability for supporting the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The company is collaborating with various mobile communication modem specialists, including Korea’s AM.
The solution being developed by Hyundai Mobis eliminates the need for externally protruding antennas by integrating antenna functionality into the built-in controller.
