Keysight Technologies has collaborated with Nio to successfully validate the wireless systems in its smart electric vehicles using Keysight network emulation solutions. As a result, Nio’s vehicles now comply with 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 standards and deliver improved connectivity and performance to support the development of the next generation of electric vehicles.
As vehicles become more connected to the world, there are several challenges to address, including ensuring compliance with evolving standards like 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 to guarantee reliable connectivity. Enhancing connectivity performance is crucial for features such as autonomous driving, real-time navigation and in-car entertainment. Advanced automation, AI integration and robust data interoperability are essential to optimize the production and operational efficiency of smart vehicles. Maintaining a competitive edge in this rapidly evolving market requires continuous innovation and adaptation to meet consumer and regulatory requirements.
Keysight’s network emulation solutions address this by providing extensive testing for 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 for Wi-Fi 7, 4G and 5G, as well as 5G new radio (NR), long-term evolution (LTE), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and Internet of Things (IoT) radio frequency testing.
Keysight states that the benefits of the solution are that it delivers: high performance and improved reliability by ensuring compliance with the latest 3GPP and IEEE standards; improved time-to-market with a streamlined and comprehensive testing process; and optimized efficiency with the rapid identification and resolution of RF performance issues.
Thomas Goetzl, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions, said, “Keysight’s collaboration with Nio underscores the importance of rigorous testing and validation when it comes to delivering high-performing, future-ready vehicles. We are committed to driving technological innovation. This means working with our partners to ensure they have the tools and solutions needed to meet industry standards while also developing vehicles with safety, performance and user experience at the heart.”
In related news, leading automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor companies and ecosystem partners have come together to form the OpenGMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link technology ) Association, a non-profit entity that aims to reshape autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment applications.
