Free WiFi Access Can Be Provided At All Times By Technology from AutoTalks

The cost of connectivity is a major challenge confronting connected to cause and efforts are ongoing to understand whether vehicles can be connected free of charge. Numerous applications being used in cars can provide benefits that are important even with sporadic connectivity. Having a vehicle to everything V2X WiFi as well as a cellular vehicle to everything C-V2X WiFi can provide information about diagnostic services, driver alerts recommend upcoming maintenance and numerous other messages.

WiFi for external variables can provide free and high-speed connectivity for purposes of these types. The problem of connectivity does not exist for example when a vehicle is parked at home and is within range of the access point which has been installed. The vehicle would be facing a similar situation if it is in range of a public hotspot namely while pumping gas at a station or ordering food from a drive-through. The facility may also be available when the vehicle is parked at a shopping mall.

The second-generation chipsets from AutoTalks Craton2 and SECTION are providing WiFi 802.11 A/B/G/N/AC completely free of charge. The WiFi connectivity is available both when the vehicle is moving or is in a stationary position to enable concurrent DS RC connection for the latter. The DS RC connection is entirely cyber-secure when being operated concurrently with WiFi.

The WiFi being provided by AutoTalks is available with several advantages. The WiFi is optimized for mobility and supports dual-band operation for both 2.4 GHz as well as 5 GHz. It can support TX and optimal Rx diversity for the dual antenna system. It can coexist with DS RC by sustaining high interferences and minimizing any interferences it may create.

AutoTalks is a fabless semiconductor company which is diverted to communications between manned and autonomous vehicles. The company was founded in 2008 and is privately held with strong financial backing being provided by Global venture-capital funds, OEMs, and Tier1s. The headquarters of the company is located in Israel with offices in North America, Germany, France, China, Japan, and Korea.

The V2X WiFi from AutoTalks will enable vehicles to communicate with each other even when they are not in the range of a WiFi hotspot with the help of the new technology developed by this company. Vehicles will have the ability to exchange information between themselves even when they are parked at a gas station or a shopping mall. It is a well-known fact that Internet connectivity will continue to remain a problem unless arrangements are made to introduce 5G Internet which has already been introduced in China and Korea but is lacking in the United States mainly due to the problems of trust between the US governing authorities and Huawei which is the leading provider of this technology in the current circumstances. Unless the US government overcomes this challenge the likelihood of receiving free WiFi access for communicating between vehicles will a problem which could delay the introduction of the technology developed by AutoTalks into the country.

People looking forward to having the technology in their vehicles as soon as possible must understand they can equip their vehicles with the technology and be in a position to communicate with other vehicles that may also have adopted a similar measure. The V2X WiFi and C-V2X WiFi chipsets, when installed in vehicles, can provide drivers with opportunities to communicate with other vehicles that have also made similar arrangements to benefit from the technological advances. However, it must also be understood that the full benefits of these technologies will only be realized after the US government and China can conclude how they are willing to manage the trade tariffs and the problems of suspicious behavior between both countries.
