Quectel’s AG18 is an automotive grade C-V2X module designed and manufactured according to IATF 16949:2016standards. It is designed for use in extremely harsh environments and provides superior ESD/EMI protection performance. Through C-V2X PC5 direct communications, the AG18 makes traffic smoother and more efficient by paving the way for automated driving and achieving the goal of fully connected traffic.
Compatible with 3GPP Rel-14 and Rel-15, the AG18 supports vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communications on the unified 5.9 GHz ITS band without the need of a (U)SIM, cellular subscription or network assistance. It is able to meet connected vehicles’ demand of communication with lower latency, higher reliability and high throughput. Additionally, the AG18 provides abundant interfaces, which enables customers to conveniently develop applications.
The AG18 supports using multiple antennas at the receiver end at the same time and on the same frequency band, which greatly minimizes errors and optimizes the data speed. The module also has an embedded dual-frequency and multi-constellation high-sensitivity GNSS receiver (optional) for positioning, which minimizes design and improves positioning speed and accuracy.
The AG18 is a global V2X communication solution to meet enhanced driving safety, autonomous driving, intelligent transport system (ITS) and advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) application demands.
