The 5G communication module for vehicles refers to a component that enables data transmission between a vehicle and a cellular base station to provide wireless network connection using 5G mobile communication technology. It can also be primarily mounted inside the vehicle or in communication devices near the roof.
This is touted as the next-generation automotive mobile communication system to facilitate a vehicle to turn into fully autonomous, furnishing it with real-time traffic data, correct location information and vehicle-to-everything communication.
Companies have been in heated competition to develop modules that run on Qualcomm’s SnapdragonTM Automotive 5G Platform, a top presence in the 5G telecom chip market. LG Innotek said it managed to gain an edge thanks to its proprietary RF circuit design technology, high-precision and density modularized technology, and heat-resistant new materials.
The most current 5G module comes with tremendously reduced latency, about one-tenth of that of an LTE module, the company said. If an autonomous car driving at 100 kilometers per hour identifies an obstacle, the urgent braking function in a 5G module will start to activate after the vehicle moves 2.8 centimeters, whereas braking in an LTE module will start after it moves 1.4 meters.
