Unex OBU-301E enables ease of V2X software development through its V2Xcast® technology. Previously, V2X protocol software had to be built and verified complicated APIs, resulting in a duplicated effort, risk and cost. With Unex intuitive V2Xcast solution that provides ready-to-use V2X communication services for V2X applications, customers can significantly cut time-to-market with less development and testing cost.

V2Xcast is supported in OBU-301E to facilitate V2X application development. It includes two parts – V2Xcast Service and V2Xcast SDK.

V2Xcast SDK

Deploy V2Xcast SDK in either OBU-301E or external application host, it includes APIs to get the services from V2Xcast Service and the main functions of facility layer (ITS-MSG), such as message encoder/decoder and example code.

V2Xcast Service

V2Xcast Service image resides in OBU-301E, it combines ETSI ITS-G5 protocol stack that includes GeoNetwork, BTP, DCC, Security, and POTI. V2X communication protocols will be easily enabled via configuration input without any programming.

Security

A self-contained and highly integrated V2X system-on-module capable of highly secure V2X applications.
OBU-301E System On Module,V2X safety msg, app

Security functions provided by V2Xcast® are designed based on a highly secure HSM (Hardware Security Module).

The highly secure HSM with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification is embedded in OBU-301E.

Cryptographic processor eliminates bottlenecks, maximizes application performance and offload CPU’s computation. To protect your sensitive cryptographic keys in a high-assurance key vault, the design provides leverage a keys-in-hardware solution. With the keys-in-hardware solution, all the cryptographic operations are inside HSM and those keys never leave the HSM.
