Verizon Business and Audi AG today announced a partnership to build
a state-of-the-art private wireless network and tech-testing
environment at Audi’s automotive test track in Neustadt, Germany.
The dynamic, multi-core wireless network is designed to duplicate
network conditions in key markets around the world, with
custom-built replicas of Verizon’s U.S. public network, local
European networks, and the roaming network of Audi’s MVNO partner
in Asia-Pacific. Audi and other brands from the Volkswagen Group
have access to the track and network.
As the automotive industry continues its evolution
toward software-defined vehicles, the geographic flexibility of the
Neustadt test-track network gives Audi a competitive advantage in
the global market by streamlining its multi-territory R&D test
cycle, better replicating driver/passenger experiences around the
world, and providing access to the latest network and application
technology. Testable applications include voice, video, safety,
autonomous mobility, vehicle-to-cloud communication, OEM-customer
interactions, cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) features and
functionalities, and more.
To achieve this blend of geographic flexibility and
technological capability, Verizon Business tapped into a robust
ecosystem of partners. The network uses a dual 5G and LTE Modular
Private Wireless platform from Nokia, C-V2X and private MEC
infrastructure utilizing AWS Outposts from Amazon Web Services, and
real-time video and data-transmission technology from Smart Mobile
Labs (stream management and distribution, full HD streaming, push
to talk, push to video, stream recording, et. al.).
“Our needs for this test track were complex and
multi-dimensional, encompassing many technologies, geographic
network conditions, and industry trends. Verizon Business was able
to provide a complete solution that will take time and cost out of
the testing cycle and give us a competitive advantage in the global
marketplace,” said Petr Kozak, Head of Development Infotainment,
Connectivity, Data Management and Artificial Intelligence, Audi
AG.
“This is about much more than equipping a work site
with a private network. This is about bringing network conditions
from around the world to one test facility, allowing Audi to exceed
the already lofty demands of the mobility market looking years into
the future,” said TJ Fox, SVP of IIoT and Automotive, Verizon
Business. “Increasingly, vehicles are not just about
transportation, but a means of communication, entertainment,
education, and work -- effectively, rolling cell phones and
high-powered computers. That means the vehicle of the future will
be packed with technology that needs to work under many different
sets of network conditions, and Audi and Verizon Business are
solving for those needs with this state-of-the-art facility.”
Verizon Business has end-to-end responsibility for
the delivery and support of the high-performance, stable and secure
private LTE/5G network, which can be adapted to the developments of
the 3GPP standard over time.
