Huawei and China Unicom to jointly develop 5G LTE-V2X applications

Since the launch of the ME909T in-vehicle module at the end of 2013, Huawei has steadily expanded its presence in the automotive networking sector. Leveraging its strong background in telecommunications, the company has developed a comprehensive LTE-V vehicle networking system. This includes communication chips that enable real-time data exchange between vehicles, and it has attracted major OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

In 2017, during the 10th TC Automotive Internet Conference, Huawei announced a collaboration with China Unicom’s Zhiwang Technology to deepen their partnership in 5G, LTE-V2X, and car networking platforms. The goal is to test and validate LTE-V2X applications, paving the way for future smart mobility solutions.

The Intelligent Network Alliance reflects the direction of the automotive industry, but it's not just about the vehicles themselves. For true intelligent travel, there must be seamless integration between cars and external elements like smartphones, road infrastructure, and more. As Guo Wei, General Manager of Huawei’s IoT Platform Division, stated, “In a V2X system, even if all cars and road infrastructures are smart, intelligent traffic can't be completed without proper communication.” Communication, therefore, becomes one of the most critical enablers.

Vehicular Interconnect serves as a foundational layer for future transportation. On one hand, it ensures the safe and stable operation of intelligent transport systems. On the other, the high-speed movement of vehicles demands low latency, high reliability, and higher bandwidth. Technologies like 5G and LTE-V2X can leverage global base station resources for cost-effective deployment and support a wide range of autonomous driving scenarios. These advancements are key to the success of V2X and other emerging applications.

Lei Feng Network reports that China Unicom Zhixin Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Unicom focused on car networking, was established in 2015 and now operates five branches. In April of this year, it formed a 50-50 joint venture with a German Tier1 supplier, combining strengths in communications and auto parts manufacturing to deliver intelligent transportation solutions for automakers.

Before signing the agreement, China Unicom had already collaborated with Huawei, ZTE, and other telecom providers to develop the C-V2X standard and conduct trials with several car manufacturers.

The creation of the car networking platform is based on the shared belief that the future of the automotive industry depends entirely on integration with the communications sector. This requires improvements in areas such as communication services, data processing, and operations. At the same time, information security becomes increasingly important—these two aspects will shape the future of the industry together.

This time, Guo Hao once again clarified the boundaries of Huawei’s car networking business, emphasizing, “We focus on providing sustainable, vehicle-oriented lifecycle management services and act as a platform for platforms.”

According to Lei Feng Network, in September, Huawei, China Mobile, and FAW conducted field tests of LTE-V2X vehicle networking solutions. They successfully completed real-time data interaction, video dynamic calls, and vehicle routing tasks. Huawei provided LTE-V2X communication technology and products, while China Mobile was responsible for the central platform, drive test control equipment, and the LTE-V2X communication network.
