6667 Cohda Wireless has announced its cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X) software stack is compliant with Chinese standards and specifications via the IMT-2020 certification.

Cohda says IMT-2020 is regarded by many OEMs as one of the interoperability standardisation processes that is likely to be adopted – alongside others such as the China Society of Automotive Engineers’ CAICV.

The company will now undertake road trial testing of its applications with a range of Chinese OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers organised by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

Cohda’s chief engineer Fabien Cure says: “Our hardware and software products are used in more than 60% of all V2X field trials in the world today, in compliance with US and 6613 European Telecommunications Standards Institute standards, and we hope to eventually have the same presence in China.”

In a separate move, Cohda also recently launched its MK6C Evaluation Kit in China in a bid to accelerate the commercial introduction of C-V2X technology.

Cohda says MK6C offers compatible C-V2X software to support direct communications in support of Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to Infrastructure and Vehicle to Pedestrian applications.
