On October 11, the "AWC Autonomous Driving Forum" held at the same time as the 2023 Shenzhen International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry Expo officially kicked off, bringing together industry experts and business elites in technical research to discuss major changes in the future of intelligent travel.

Zhang Cang, Product Director of SEG, was invited to participate in the forum and delivered a keynote speech, focusing on the technical development route of 5G RedCap, discussing the creation of product solutions that take into account both cost and performance advantages, so as to further promote new breakthroughs in the application of 5G technology for intelligent networked vehicles.

Lightweight 5G RedCap breathes new vitality into intelligent networking

With the development of 5G technology, lightweight 5G RedCap came into being, as the latest 5G technology to be commercialized, it inherits the core capabilities of 5G large bandwidth, ultra-low latency uRLLC, high reliability, support for 5G LAN, network slicing and precise timing, and adopts a more optimized design scheme to reduce the number of receiving antennas to 1Rx or 2Rx, greatly reducing the design complexity of the terminal, and optimizing power-saving technologies, such as eDRX, which can extend the battery life of terminal equipment. At the same time, RedCap also supports high-precision timing, providing microsecond-level accurate clocks. 5G RedCap streamlines the baseband design by tailoring chip capabilities, greatly reducing size, cost, and power consumption, achieving a balance between 5G network performance and cost, and further promoting the large-scale application of 5G.

5G RedCap intelligent connected terminal solution

With the support of more and more policies and the active participation of many chip manufacturers, module manufacturers, and terminal component companies in the 5G RedCap technology ecosystem, the application of 5G RedCap in the automotive field will be further promoted.

As a component supplier with competitive advantages in the field of vehicle intelligent networking, SEG mainly focuses on three fields: vehicle communication terminals, video products, and body domain controllers, among which vehicle communication terminals focus on 4G communication and 5G OBU technology research and development and terminal delivery, while in satellite communication, SEG Navigation is accelerating the launch of new products. SEG Navigation's products have a platform-based design, which can meet the different needs of customers and provide differentiated terminal design and manufacturing capabilities.

In the field of Redcap, SEG Navigation also adheres to the differentiation strategy, cooperates with chips, modules and communication suppliers, and is committed to highlighting its competitive advantages through the integration of communication technology and 5G, providing customers with products with higher positioning accuracy, smaller latency, lower power consumption, higher upload rate, more reliable communication and stronger availability, whether it is a high-precision positioning terminal, body domain control or vehicle video recorder, SEG Navigation can be expanded through platform technology to quickly support 5G RedCap technology. Balance cost and performance advantages to provide more competitive solutions. Following the development of 5G technology, SEG  will continue to iterate and upgrade its products to provide more valuable products, accelerate the development of vertical industries and the construction of industrial ecology, and continuously inject new impetus into the development of intelligent networked vehicles.
