NG eCall, 5G NTN and C-V2X test challenges in vehicles
Every new vehicle is connected now. From passenger cars and self-driving buses in smart cities, high-speed trains, long-haul trucks and transatlantic cargo ships to automated tractors operated far from any infrastructure, vehicles are always online, always reachable. 5G offers dozens of bands and endless configurations and operation modes to support the transportation industry with new technologies like NG eCall, 5G NTN and C-V2X. Combined with the strict automotive quality requirements and dual SIM operation, this results in a multitude of test challenges to be tackled in EMC, validation and production testing.
