Rolling Wireless Launches Innovative 5G Module
The automotive industry is on the brink of a transformative leap forward with the introduction of the RN941Y module by Rolling Wireless. This exciting new product represents a giant stride towards enhanced connectivity for vehicles set to roll off production lines starting in the year 2027. With its advanced capabilities, the RN941Y module aims to redefine automotive connectivity, particularly in regions lacking terrestrial network coverage.
Seamless, Satellite-Based Connectivity
The RN941Y module introduces a revolutionary approach to vehicle connectivity through its support for the latest 5G Release 17 and the non-terrestrial network (NB-NTN) technology. With this integration, vehicles can connect directly to satellites, ensuring reliable communication, no matter how remote the location. This feature is particularly impactful for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as it opens up a myriad of opportunities for vehicle safety and services.
Advanced Features for Future Mobility
One of the standout capabilities of the RN941Y module is its support for diverse NB-NTN satellite communication bands. This feature is crucial for services such as roadside assistance, medical emergencies, and fleet vehicle tracking in underserved areas—all vital for today's connected vehicle landscape. Rolling Wireless recognizes that, for OEMs, ensuring that critical communication services are available everywhere is a top priority, and this module is engineered to meet that challenge.
Enhanced Performance and Reliability
In line with the evolving automotive landscape, the RN941Y module comes equipped with higher density memory and optimized performance metrics, allowing for improved boot times and system reliability. This addition aligns seamlessly with the latest automotive standards, ensuring that the technology not only meets but exceeds industry expectations.
Compatibility and Integration
The design of the RN941Y module emphasizes ease of integration for automotive OEMs. It employs a familiar form factor compatible with other 5G Network Access Devices (NADs) currently available in the market. This design philosophy allows manufacturers to upgrade to the latest technology without overhauling existing systems, significantly lowering both cost and transition time.
Its technological prowess is exemplified by features such as 4x4 downlink MIMO and 2x2 uplink MIMO capabilities, which effectively supports up to 200MHz of downlink spectrum. For added flexibility, the module also includes support for 5G sub-6 bands across both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes. It will seamlessly switch between LTE, WCDMA, and 2G networks worldwide, ensuring constant connectivity.
Empowering Automotive Innovation
At the heart of the RN941Y is a robust quad-core ARM Cortex A55 processor. This powerful engine enables automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to develop Linux-based connectivity solutions for today’s applications and beyond. Rolling Wireless emphasizes that its modules come equipped with an ultra-flexible Network Access Device Software Platform (NSP), which is specifically designed to accelerate the development of connected vehicle applications.
The RN941Y module is anticipated to be ready for integration into new vehicle models targeted for production in 2027, with engineering samples expected to be available to global markets in early 2025.
