The modern automotive consumer wants next-gen in-cabin experiences such as vehicle to everything, augmented reality, and autonomous driving - all of which require high-speed, low-latency connectivity. The result? More antennas on the roof of a vehicle. This poses a challenge for designers, engineers, and aerodynamicists.
To address this, HARMAN engineering teams have developed the Telematics Control Unit (TCU)/Smart Conformal Antenna. Integrating the latest 5G technology with up to 14 different vehicle antennas in one sleek package, it allows designers to retain clean exterior lines while delivering superior connectivity on-the-go. The invisible stealth design utilizes an optimized antenna layout and the latest wireless technologies to minimize signal loss and offer next-gen experiences that are responsive, reliable, and dependable.
Superior 5G experiences, over-the-air configurable by region for DSRC or C-V2X service
Network optimization with support for interchangeable NADs
Minimal signal loss made possible with integrated antenna/receiver assembly
Improved aesthetics and functionality enabled with a design that conceals the entire TCU and antenna assembly under the vehicle’s exterior surface
