Infineon joins the 5G Automotive Association

  

The advantage of 5G is that it is said to be 100 times faster than 4G and able to transmit 1000 times more data in real time.

“Secure communication with practically zero time delay is a critical requirement for the breakthrough of autonomous driving,” said Peter Schiefer, pictured, president of the automotive division at Infineon. “In close cooperation with the car industry and IT, Infineon supports the communication solutions for the automated car with its cutting-edge semiconductors and with system and security expertise.”

The 5G Automotive Association is developing new communication solutions for applications such as connected automated driving and on intelligent transport systems. As a semiconductor company for automobile electronics, cellular infrastructure and data security, Infineon is said to provide key technologies required for 5G, the autonomous car and electromobility.
