Problem
Existing transportation systems lack comprehensive communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users, leading to preventable accidents, traffic inefficiencies, and increased emissions. The absence of real-time data exchange hinders the full potential of electric and autonomous vehicles.
Solution
Ettifos provides 5G-based Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication solutions that enable safer, smarter, and greener driving experiences. Their technology facilitates direct and network-based communication between vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), vulnerable road users (V2P), and networks (V2N). Ettifos's offerings include onboard units (OBUs), roadside units (RSUs), and a 5G-V2X sidelink platform (SIRIUS) compliant with 3GPP Release 16, supporting advanced use cases such as sensor sharing and cooperative autonomous driving. The company's software-defined modem (SDM) technology allows for flexible and reliable communication across various V2X applications.
Target Audience
Ettifos serves R&D institutions, Departments of Transportation, road operators, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) providers, and automotive manufacturers seeking to enhance road safety, traffic efficiency, and enable autonomous driving through advanced V2X technology.
