Open test lab aims to accelerate connected vehicle technologies
The OLA provides real world in-lab test scenarios necessary for developing connected vehicle subsystems and applications. It is hosted by Cetecom’s highly accredited test laboratory and is comprised of industry-leading test and measurement companies, roadside unit (RSU) suppliers, and simulation system tool providers that deliver state of the art automotive test technologies.
The OLA promotes a collaborative test environment to the automotive engineering and software development community. Companies such as Anritsu, Ford, Litepoint, octoScope, Savari, Spirent, TASS International have already joined the alliance. Through the OLA website, Cetecom offers engineers to reserve a number of test benches, each station addressing a specific test challenge.
In a controlled, yet open work environment, engineers can develop lab experiments and perform various types of testing; such as, Applink Test Development, Cyber Security tests, TCU Cellular Module tests, Spectrum Analysis, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Navigation testing, Radio Airlink Channel Emulation Wireless Connectivity, as well as Automated Connected driving simulation.
