V2X Engineering

Ambimat’s V2X practice builds the systems that let a moving vehicle exchange safety messages with other vehicles and with roadside infrastructure — and, just as importantly, the development kits that let an OEM or a technology company start working on that without building the hardware first.

The customers are vehicle OEMs and technology companies. The engagement usually starts with a development setup and runs through to a product, which is why the offering is described in terms of platforms to develop on rather than a catalogue to buy from.

What the V2X practice covers

AmbiOBU — on-board unit

The mobile side: a sensing and V2X on-board unit for the vehicle itself. Offered as a development kit open to collaboration rather than as an off-the-shelf purchase.

AmbiRSU — roadside unit

The fixed side: a V2X roadside sensing unit, the infrastructure half of the same conversation. Also a development kit open to collaboration.

AmbiSEC — security co-processor

An IoT and V2X security co-processor module, currently in production and available as the security development setup. Where the hardware root of trust for a V2X programme actually lives.

Developer and integration capability

Stacks and SDKs, the standards a programme has to hold to, tooling, and test and certification — the parts of a V2X project that decide whether the hardware ever ships.

Developer stack

Where it fits

  • Vehicle OEMs building connected-mobility capability into a platform
  • Technology companies developing V2X applications who need hardware to develop against
  • Roadside and infrastructure programmes on the fixed side of the link
  • Programmes that have to satisfy a specific regulatory regime — India, the European Union, the United States, China or wider Asia-Pacific

How Ambimat contributes

V2X is where several of Ambimat’s existing capabilities meet: RF and antenna work, embedded firmware, secure element and credential handling from AmbiSecure, and the hardware design and manufacturing discipline needed to take a development kit to a product. The security architecture in particular is not bolted on — a vehicle broadcasting safety messages is only useful if the receiver can tell a genuine message from a fabricated one.

Over-the-air update is part of how the software lifecycle is engineered on a V2X programme, though it is not currently offered as a standalone development setup.
