Two global automotive manufacturers commit to implement Savari V2X software in 2020

Savari, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based auto tech company and pioneer of V2X communications technology, announced that two leading global automotive manufacturers and one leading OEM in Asia have committed to implementing its V2X Software Stack in new automobiles, beginning in 2020.

Together, these automotive OEMs account for more than 30% of the US market share and roughly 15% of the global market share for automotive sales in 2019. As a result, Savari's V2X software will be operating in roughly one in three cars domestically, and one in seven cars worldwide.

Working alongside the broad automotive and telecom ecosystems, Savari expects its V2X, cellular-compatible technology to deliver numerous benefits to drivers and communities around the world, including greatly enhanced safety, higher levels of automated driving, lowered environmental impact, traffic efficiency and more.

“With over a decade of testing in real-world installations and global demonstrations, Savari's V2X software delivers the broadest and most robust array of features of any V2X solution on the market,” said Ravi Puvvala, CEO, Savari. “Our partnership with two of the largest global automotive OEMs and one of the leading OEMs in Asia will bring the power of V2X to millions of drivers worldwide.”

Commonly referred to as V2X, Vehicle-to-Everything communications technology enables direct, nearly instantaneous communications between vehicles, roadside infrastructure and pedestrians. Savari's V2X Software Stack is both radio technology and radio hardware vendor agnostic. It supports both DSRC and C-V2X and is integrated with the major chipset providers. Additionally, Savari's V2X Software Stack is POSIX-compliant and available on major operating systems including Linux and QNX.

With a focus on smart cities V2X, Savari works closely with road and city authorities, and has developed applications that are broader in scope than many developers, encompassing infrastructure-to-phone and vehicle-to-phone applications, as well as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I).

Savari also announced that it has completed a critical certification for its C-V2X equipment: The EU Radio Emissions Directive (RED) testing for its MobiWAVE on-board-units and StreetWAVE road-side-units. RED testing is required for deploying any radio-based device in Europe and requires passing stringent requirements for mission-mode transmission and reception. The technology must not interfere with other radio devices in both the spectral and physical vicinity or emit spurious radio transmissions.
