Rapid changes in technology mean ITS managers now need to understand network infrastructure as well as electrical engineering, says EtherWan’s Jim Toepper. But don’t worry, help is at hand…
As the push for intelligent transportation systems accelerates, cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology is set to revolutionize vehicle communication for connected mobility and smart city deployments.
However, developing, testing, and optimising V2X applications requires a robust, flexible solution that accommodates real-world field testing and real-time communication.
Ettifos, V2X solutions provider, will be in Seville exhibiting Sirius, its Software-defined Modem (SDM) C-V2X platform, which provides just that.
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC), New Zealand, is set to receive accurate road-weather data for the alpine Crown Range road this winter following the signing of a five-year decision-support contract with MetService.
