Leading provider of innovative communications test and measurement solutions, Anritsu has announced a new association with Australia-headquartered Cohda Wireless, through which its LTE V2X PC5 Communications Software MX725000A will now support Cohda’s Communications Module MK6C Evaluation Kit (EVK).
Cohda Wireless is a global leader in the development of connected vehicles and connected autonomous vehicle software. The Cohda Wireless MK6C EVK is a C-V2X evaluation kit using the MDM9150 chipset, supporting cost-effective development of C-V2X applications and use cases.
The new solution would provide OEMs and Tier I suppliers with an efficient tool to conduct required functional and regressions tests to evaluate C-V2X PC5 communications functions in devices and systems used in connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs).
A release issued by Anritsu said the company has added support for the widely-used Cohda Wireless MK6C EVK to the MX725000A as a reference module. With the solution, which runs on a Windows-based laptop, cost-of-test for verification of V2V and V2I communications is reduced, it said.
Engineers use the LTE V2X PC5 Communications Software MX725000A to evaluate PC5 communications functions, a key technology to implement CAVs.
The software-based solution supports typical use cases defined by national ITS standards such as Forward Collision Warning, Intersection Collision Warning, Emergency Brake Warning, etc. It operates interactively with C-V2X communications reference modules, GNSS simulators, and V2X emulator software.
