STMicroelectronics Joins Car Connectivity
Consortium
Top
supplier to Smartphone and Automotive markets supports increased
convenience, safety, and security at the intersection of two vital
markets
Geneva, Switzerland, May 24, 2019 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across
the spectrum of electronics applications, today announced having
joined the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), a cross-industry
organization advancing global technologies for smartphone-to-car
connectivity solutions.
"Smartphones have become productivity and convenience extensions
of busy professionals and consumers-whether as voice-activated
personal assistants, personal wallets, or as navigators-and they
are a natural and safe appliance to ID and unlock doors for the
owner, adjust the seat, tune the radio, and personalize the car for
their comfort and preference," said Joel Huloux, Director
Standardization Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group,
STMicroelectronics. "As a leading long-time, trusted supplier to
the top players in both the smartphone and automotive industries,
ST shares an interest in the mission of the CCC, which aims to make
it possible and hassle-free to simply connect and ride and we've
joined the group to lend our expertise and gain from the rest of
the players."
ST's technology portfolio features many segments well suited to
automotive connectivity and the aims of the CCC, including ST25 NFC
readers, ST33 Secure Elements, STA12 Accordo infotainment
processors, STA13 Telemaco vehicle processors, and Stellar vehicle
gateway/domain microcontrollers.
Already ST is a top player in the expanding market for NFC
technology as a digital key and in its use as a conduit for
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing. In addition, ST offers a range of
technologies to address wireless charging, including authentication
and foreign object detection. Then, with ST's early-mover advantage
in eSIMs, the technology lends itself to securing automotive
applications. Infotainment is another segment ST is addressing with
a broad offer where pairing with smartphones or mirroring of their
display on the head-unit contributes to enhancing ownership by
offering voice-enabled services including internet music and
connected navigation safely. Additional features could also include
automotive data collection though various sensors (ToF for lidar,
accelerometers and gyro, precise positioning, image, and radar
sensors) and then pre-processing to reduce network bandwidth from
2GB/km to about 10KB/km.
Finally, of course, ST has a broad portfolio of successful
automotive microcontrollers and other automotive products well
suited to control, sense, and power the full range of automotive
applications.
About STMicroelectronics ST is a global semiconductor
leader delivering intelligent and energy-efficient products and
solutions that power the electronics at the heart of everyday life.
ST's products are found everywhere today, and together with our
customers, we are enabling smarter driving and smarter factories,
