Software-Defined Car-Ecosystem with Small Cell Cloud

Software-Defined Cars are the future of the automotive industry, and a complete ecosystem is a perfect example of how Hyperscalers, MNO, Private and Automotive infra vendors, Smart City County Networks will coordinate and complement each other.ย This ecosystem will be a perfect multitenant platform to serve Enhanced Autopilot- OTA, Safety, Infotainment Cognitive Analytics, and security needs of SDC.


SCF is interested to contribute to this use case along with the industry partners, where a balanced & distributed 5G NR, Core, Edge infra, and CV2X RSU can share the coordinated common platform with Smart City and Hyperscaler networks.

In this way, the CAPEX has uniformly distributed to all stakeholders and the Automotive platform is fully programable and dynamically configurable as per the requirements.ย Major modules like EEA, ECU, Mobile applications, Infotainment, Safety, and Security modules are going through a major transformation.

CV2X: The Airwave (Spectrum) Over

Automotive is one of the most prominent use cases for 5G auto-drive connectivity, governments across the globe need to have a global spectrum strategy.ย In the United States, FCC is in the process to reassign 30 MHz of spectrum @5.9 GHz to CV2X. 30 MHz Spectrum is fully dedicated to CV2X (Intelligent Transportation System-ITS) sidelink units in the car to communicate to the Roadside Units- RSU (Radio units- connected to the county or smart city transport infra network.ย In 2020 Virginia VDOT started the initial deployment of CV2X infra (5.895 ~5.925 GHz).

In addition to the United States, globally, 15 to 20 countries are working on spectrum strategy for the automotive industry.

All Major Carriers have an existing Automotive Service based on LTE and transitioning to 5G NR (CV2X) services.ย Car Infotainment is another area that needs to be combined with the Roadside Units.ย SCF is working towards the Blueprint of the Combined unit (Small Cell & Roadside Unit).ย 5G NR nFAPI and Management can play a big role here.

Major ITS Use Cases include:

  • Road Works Warning
  • Speed Limit Warning
  • Red Light Violation
  • Intersection Movement Assist
  • Tele Operations
  • Automated Vehicles

Building the Business Case for Satellite IoT | Astrocast
Organizations globally are tapping into the vast potential of the Operational IoT market, from transforming weather monitoring in remote mines to ensuring safe drinking water in African communities. The real game-changer is the integration of reliable, cost-effective satellite connections, predicted to rise to tens of millions by 2030. These connections make it possible to transmit data periodically rather than in real-time, reducing costs and meeting the specific needs of industries like agriculture, shipping, and environmental monitoring. The challenge for Systems Integrators (SIs) is to ensure their Satellite IoT deployments are not only technologically viable but also commercially successful. Ensuring robust satellite coverage, cost-effective deployment, and prolonged battery life are essential to this business case. Forward-thinking SIs have already started their journeys, optimizing Satellite IoT solutions, proving its business worth, and preparing for large-scale deployments.
