Frequency spectrum in the 5.9 GHz range The communication technology for cooperative ITS and Car-2-Car Communication is derived from the standard IEEE 802.11, also known as Wireless LAN. A frequency spectrum in the 5.9 GHz range has been allocated on a harmonized basis in Europe in line with similar allocations in USA. As soon as two or more vehicles or ITS stations are in radio communication range, they connect automatically and establish an ad hoc network where all ITS stations know the position, speed and direction of the other stations and will be able to provide warnings and information. Car2X applications improve safety and efficiency on the roads by providing information between vehicles (Car-2-Car) and between vehicles and the traffic infrastructure (Car-2-I). The WiBear ITS wireless module based on the NXP Roadlink SAF5100 chipset supports the standards IEEE802.11p and ETSI ITS G5 as well as the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11a/n. Samples of this brand new module are available in December 2014 and MP will start in Q3/2015. Taoglas and MSC are presenting the PA series ceramic PIFA antennas which eliminate the need for tooling and NRE fees inherent in traditional antenna designs. This means the range is available "off the shelf" at any quantity. Features such as SMT pads for reflow soldering, and use of a simple matching circuit on the front end allow the antennas to be tuned quickly on the customer side during integration. This speeds up the design cycle dramatically. The newest PA series antenna, the patent pending Viking PA.700.A is designed to work with highest efficiency not only at 4G LTE 70 MHz band but also at the 2G/3G bands (850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100). This wide-band antenna functions equally well for GSM, EDGE, GPRS, CDMA, UMTS, HSPA. Ideal antenna for all LTE applications The Warrior, the revolutionary patent pending PA.710A is a 2G/3G/4G high efficiency SMT Ceramic antenna, operating at 698MHz to 960MHz and 1710 MHz to 2690 MHz. It uses high grade custom ceramic material and new design techniques to deliver the highest efficiencies on all bands. The exceptional wide-band response means it is the ideal antenna for all LTE applications that also need high efficiency and backward compatibility for 2G and 3G globally on all lower and upper bands. www.msc-technologies.eu 15
