Telematics, V2X & Smart Mobility

TELEMATICS, V2X & SMART MOBILITY

The convergence of medium and long-range communication technologies is being fueled by customer expectations and rapid innovation in the Automotive industry. With 5G becoming more prevalent, it will have a significant impact on the way vehicles will communicate in the near future. With different countries following diverse safety regulations and V2X technologies, Automotive manufacturers are therefore challenged to respond more quickly to a larger number of applications, and shorten development cycles, while retaining quality and keeping their overall investment under control.

Sasken enables Automotive OEMs & Tier-1s by providing solutions that support rich, connected in-car experiences, while also connecting vehicles to one another, pedestrians, road infrastructure, and the cloud. Our software services for Telematics-based products with cost-competitive solutions provide superior communications technologies and platform development capabilities for infotainment, telematics and ADAS systems to tens of millions of connected vehicles on the road today. We offer consumers Smart Mobility services with more ownership of content in cognizant to cloud and enterprise scale applications. We are at the forefront, offering niche System Integration services to OEMs, Tier-1s, OBU, and RSU vendors globally. Sasken is extending current generation of connected cars to V2X-compliant safety applications by integrating V2X in Telematics Control Units.
