2208 Hirschmann Car Communication has launched what it claims is a world first - an Iridium/GPS/ mobile communication antenna combination able to meet the needs of growing requirements in global asset tracking as well as remote monitoring applications.

The device provides secure voice and data transmission where a terrestrial mobile communication connection can only work to a very limited extent. The housing of the low power consumption device is made from a particularly robust material in order to withstand all weather conditions as well as rough handling and knocks.

Just a short time ago, that could have been a quote from a high-level policy document but with the first arrivals of vehicles with 802.11p connectivity – the door-opener to Vehicle-to-X (V2X) applications – it’s a statement which has increasing validity. The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only
