Magna, the Canadian mega supplier (NYSE:MGA; TSX:MG) said today that ii is enhancing its automated driving capabilities by joining NorthStar Telia Sweden and Ericsson’s 5G innovation program for industrial enterprises.* As part of the agreement, Telia and Ericsson have built a dedicated, private 5G network at Magna’s test track located in Vårgårda, Sweden, where new Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity are being tested. This follows, in some cases by years, other automotive companies use of 5G.** (AutoInformed: Magna Buys Veoneer Active Safety Business)
“By utilizing the latest advancements in mobile networks, we are able to accelerate the automotive domain by offering sensor enhancements and as a result offer more capable and competitive ADAS products,” said Bill Snider, President of Electronics. “Our focus is not only on meeting challenging technical requirements, but also on developing products that can help anticipate critical situations to prevent accidents, ultimately making the roads safer for all.”
Magna’s test track with the 5G network will allow for gigabits data speeds and ultra-low latency. Using the 26GHz frequency band and 400MHz bandwidth, this network Magna said is crucial for driving automation and driver support systems, which rely on real-time data from vehicle sensors. Fast network speeds and quick response times are essential for timely alerts to drivers, preventing accidents, and minimizing their impact.
NorthStar’s 5G network is powered by Ericsson dual-mode 5G Core, which connects to Telia’s existing public 5G network. This interconnectivity will enable Magna to benefit from high-speed connectivity across large geographical areas.
“As an industry leader in ADAS technologies, Magna is exactly the kind of company we envisioned joining us when we started the NorthStar program,” said Magnus Leonhardt, Head of innovation and strategy at Telia Sweden’s enterprise business unit. “The solutions they develop are based on the premise that vehicles and road users can share data in near real-time. To achieve that requires ultra-fast and reliable connectivity that you can trust, and that is precisely what 5G has been developed for. This is a great opportunity to really push the boundaries of 5G and the millimeter wave technology.”
Magna’s ADAS technology supports driver safety by effectively reducing the risk of serious accidents or preventing them altogether by controlling steering, brakes, and acceleration. By integrating the driver’s needs and environment, Magna creates an exceptional driving experience. These advanced technologies pave the way for future autonomous driving and new mobility solutions.
*NorthStar is a 5G program run by Telia and Ericsson that focuses on helping industrial companies reinvent better connected business by accelerating the adoption of 5G, a standard developed specifically for applications such as vehicles, machinery or critical infrastructure that require robust and secure mobile connectivity. The program, launched in February, targets customer innovation and R&D units in selected industries, initially focusing on the automotive industry and the development of smart and sustainable transport solutions. At the center of the program is a new purpose-built 5G innovation network. The network connects a new 5G core, the brains of a mobile network, to Telia’s existing public 5G network, which is currently being rolled out across Sweden.
