RSU-351U Information Sheet
C-V2X Roadside Unit, C-V2X stack, V2Xcast®

Overview
RSU-351U is a 3GPP C-V2X (LTE-V2X) PC5 roadside unit with waterproof IP67 enclosure designed to enable V2X in the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) environment. RSU-351U provides secure data communication between vehicles and infrastructure, such as Advanced Traffic Controller or roadside sensor system, to enable cooperative ITS applications. Preloaded with C-V2X stack and V2Xcast® software, RSU-351U provides highest Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I or I2V) application flexibility to fit the various deployment needs for different ITS and V2X system integrators.
Feature
- A rich SDK containing facility-layer messages, APIs and example codes accelerates development of V2X applications.
- Seamlessly enable LTE-V2X PC5 on roadside Linux host via Ethernet connection and V2Xcast®.
- On-board mPCIe socket allows add-on module such as LTE modem.
- Surge protection on the antenna ports and PoE enhance immunity and robustness in voltage spike events.

Software
Featuring with V2Xcast®, Unex’s innovative software technology, RSU-351U allows two modes of operation:
Unex RSU-351U 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 RSU-351U to facilitate V2I/I2V application development. It includes two parts – V2Xcast Service and V2Xcast SDK.
V2Xcast SDK
Deploy V2Xcast SDK in either RSU-351U or external application host, it includes APIs to get the services from V2Xcast Service and the main functions of facility layer, such as message encoder/decoder and example code.
V2Xcast Service
V2Xcast Service image resides in RSU-351U, it combines PC5 EU stack that includes GeoNetwork, BTP, DCC, Security, and POTI. V2X communication protocols will be easily enabled via configuration input without any programming.
Security
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 RSU-351U.
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.
Typical Using Case
The traffic controller unit acts as SPATEM/MAPEM or SPAT/MAP generator to perform the relative encode/ decode. Implement the required V2X stack on RSU-351U to co-operatively work with the traffic controller unit and serves to receive and forward the SPATEM/MAPEM or SPAT/MAP messages as a payload for communication between vehicles and traffic controllers in co-operative ITS. V2I/I2V applications can be flexibly implemented on the traffic controller unit or RSU-351U.
