Just two months after closing on the acquisition of the ATOP division of NXP Semiconductors, Telit Automotive Solutions launched their first new product from the group: ATOP 3.5G at Telematics Detroit, the world’s largest forum dedicated to the future of connected auto mobility.
The ATOP 3.5G simplifies the development of automotive applications such as road pricing and eCall thanks to its unique integration of all required technologies, including: 3G cellular connectivity for voice and data communication; GPS/GLONASS for location, and near-field communications for driver authentication or to facilitate mobile payments directly from the car.
In addition, the ATOP 3.5G offers unparalleled processing power, thanks to three onboard processors. An application processor runs Java J9 Virtual Machine for simple code creation and portability. A dedicated interface processor manages vehicle interface using a choice of technologies including CAN, USB, Ethernet, UART and ADC. Plus, the optional SmartMX smartcard CPU with Java card JCOP OS provides embedded, hardware-based security for rock-solid fraud prevention and data integrity, suitable for end-to-end transaction systems requiring Common Criteria level 5+..
Telit Automotive Solutions’ CEO Dominik Hierl and Telit Wireless Solutions’ Senior Director for Telematics Alex Hauk both presented to standing-room-only crowds at the event where the new product and Telit’s automotive and telematics strategy were reinforced by the entire industry.
