V2X connectivity control unit

The hybrid V2X CCU is equipped with multiple communication technologies, like LTE, C-V2X, DSRC, and Wi-Fi. The CCU always automatically selects the most stable and cost-effective connection type depending on the particular requirements, whether it be for direct vehicle-to-vehicle communication, exchanging information with the infrastructure, or uploading and downloading larger volumes of data.

The key to this feature is the CCU’s smart connection management system, which is responsible for prioritizing the respective communication technology to be used and then implementing it. The connection remains stable even when switching from one technology to another.

No single standard for V2X communication has as yet become established around the world. Cellular V2X (c-V2X) is a communication standard based on cellular networks. DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) is essentially based on Wi-Fi. Both have been developed especially for the requirements in the automotive sector.

The V2X CCU from Bosch, however, supports all the communication standards and is therefore well equipped for use anywhere in the world. We are furthermore working continuously in the areas of technology research, development, and standardization to ensure we can respond flexibly to new trends as well as implement future standards. Together with our partners, we carry out field trials all over the world.
