Cellular Vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) Market: Overview
Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) refers to the network which combines features of V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian), V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid), V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) and V2N (Vehicle-to-Network). The cellular vehicle-to-everything is developed based on 3GPP-based V2X technologies that use LTE technology in V2X systems. Many automobile manufacturers are using C-V2X connecting in vehicles to enable vehicle-to-vehicle communications. Based on LTE cellular technology, the cellular vehicle-to-everything is designed to connect vehicles to each other, to roadside infrastructure, cloud-based services, pedestrian, etc. This cellular vehicle-to-everything is an effective solution that enables reliable, real-time communication and also offers a variety of services such as pay-as-you drive insurance, connected infotainment, vehicle diagnostics, and safety features.
