Rolling Wireless announced that it will use Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
automotive platforms to deliver premium 5G connectivity solutions to car
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide.
Rolling Wireless, an independent European company established in 2020 by the
divestiture of Sierra Wireless’ (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) automotive-grade
wireless embedded modem business, has extended its portfolio of
automotive-grade telematics modules with a 5G product series, the 5G RN91xx,
based on the Snapdragon Automotive 5G Platform.
The 5G RN91xx series is designed to deliver 5G Release 15 connectivity to
the global automotive industry with 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G fallback, covering
worldwide networks. The series is also designed to support 5G standalone
(SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures, and offers multiple
optional features including dual sim dual active (DSDA), SF global
navigation satellite system (SF-GNSS) and multi-frequency GNSS (MF-GNSS) to
enable highly accurate location positioning. It also features integrated
C-V2X technology, enabling V2X communication for improved safety. The 5G
RN9xx series intends to guarantee hardware and software forward
compatibility with the future 5G Release 16 standard.
Like all Rolling Wireless’ NADs, the 5G RN91xx is a smart connectivity
solution delivered with the Legato integrated software platform, which is
designed to optimize the telematics application development process and is
widely used in the automotive industry. Offering unmatched software
architecture flexibility, it allows customers to build their telematics
applications with any combination of Legato software and other software
building blocks, such as the Qualcomm Technologies Telematics SDK.
“We are pleased to extend our relationship with Rolling Wireless and,
through their premier series of automotive NADs, provide the benefits of 5G
to drivers and passengers,” said Nakul Duggal, senior vice president &
GM, automotive, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
“We are thrilled to work with Qualcomm Technologies, a long-term
cutting-edge technology provider, on the first product series created under
the Rolling Wireless brand,” said Dan Schieler, CEO of Rolling Wireless. “In
our first year as an independent company, we expect to ship 11 million
automotive-grade modules, consolidating and strengthening our position as
the leading Tier-2 automotive NAD supplier. By incorporating Qualcomm
Technologies’ most advanced automotive chipsets in our next-generation
products, Rolling Wireless will continue to enable car OEMs and Tier 1
suppliers to make vehicles ever safer and bring better experiences to
users.”
