The Cohda MK2 Radio is an advanced DSRC device to achieve constant and robust communications for V2V and V2I applications.
Companies and organizations that are developing and testing the new DSRC based safety and mobility applications require a DSRC radio with outstanding performance.
The MK2 WAVE-DSRC Radio from Cohda Wireless is a small, low cost IEEE 802.11p compliant radio designed specifically for large scale WAVE-DSRC field trials.
It incorporates Cohda Wireless' advanced physical layer, offering unmatched performance in harsh outdoor, mobile environments, enabling WAVE-DSRC applications to work in conditions that challenge radios built with traditional WiFi chipsets.
Functional Description
The MK2 WAVE-DSRC Radio is an IEEE 802.11p compliant radio.
It incorporates the advanced physical layer receiver technology from Cohda Wireless, dramatically improving performance in V2V and V2I applications.
The Radio can be configured for single antenna operation, or dual antenna operation, but optimal performance is achieved with dual antenna operation.
Two Radio modules can be seamlessly integrated to create a dual-radio solution.
This is a complete IEEE 802.11p RF/PHY/MAC solution. It also includes an embedded GPS receiver and embedded processor, enabling IEEE 1609 implementations.
The embedded processor runs Linux and has a USB 2.0 interface.
The use of a Cohda MK2 WAVE-DSRC Radio in V2V or V2I applications will result in performance improvements such as:
- Greatly improved range, particularly in Non-Line-of-Sight conditions
- Performance that is independent of vehicle speed or packet length
- Improved adjacent channel rejection
- Reduced likelihood of packet failures results in support for greater vehicle densities, or larger data transfers
Applications
- Robust radio for integration in vehicle On-board-Equipment (OBE) and road side equipment (RSE)
- Test beds and larger scale field operational trials (FOTs)
- Full-range of V2V and V2I functions that require constant and robust communications
