Applied Information Announces Full C-V2X Roadside and Onboard Units with Guaranteed Upgrade to 5G Along with DSRC Buy Back Program
Summary
The new units provide both C-V2X Direct and Network (4G LTE) connectivity enabling short-range and long-range communications that support a host of applications such as emergency vehicle preemption, transit bus priority, red-light running alarms and school zone speed warnings, among others. On November 18, 2020, the FCC adopted new rules for radio communications bandwidth that had been allocated for DSRC connected vehicle safety applications approximately 20 years ago. “We were hoping, as were many others in our industry, that the FCC would preserve the full 75 megahertz for roadway safety,” said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information. Applied Information is the industry-leading developer of Smart Cities, connected, and intelligent transportation system (ITS) solutions designed to save lives, improve traffic, drive commerce, and help the environment. Key product areas are smart traffic signals, school zone flashing beacons, emergency vehicle preemption, transit, and freight priority and ITS systems.
