5G to Make Your Car Faster & Thinking Super Computer

Soon 5G will rule the next generation of wireless data communications. 5G has the potential to bring up to 20 Gbps data speeds to smartphones and devices with a better experience. However, not only devices will get benefits from 5G but it is also going to enable automakers to put smarter and more connected vehicles on the road via C-V2X communications. Yes, you will experience the 5G technology in your cars.

(For readers information, V2X is a form of technology that allows vehicles to communicate with moving parts of the traffic system around them)

Maged Zaki, director of technical marketing at Qualcomm said:

“We announced our 9150 C-V2X chipsets in September 2017,” “Since then, we have done about 20 trials globally, in the US, Europe, China, Korea, and Japan. I worked with most of the automakers on the trials, and Ford just announced that it will release 5G C-V2X in cars starting in 2022. That’s a big win for us. Also, we think we’ll get huge traction in China because China is building new infrastructure that will use the technology.”

When 5G will hit the road, the cars will get similar benefits in cars as 5G will provide to the smartphones. It will bring data into the car for passenger and driver consumption. Moreover, it will send more data out at a faster rate.

5G is not only going to deliver that more reliable connectivity, but it will also deliver additional bandwidth and lower latency. 5G will enable automakers, suppliers, and device makers to give a faster, more complete Alexa experience behind the wheel.
