ACU6 Pro Automotive:

Complete telematics solution for passenger cars

ACU6-Pro Automotive is aimed at customers requiring the latest in terms of secure connectivity as well as a powerful computation environment.


  • High performance connectivity service
  • Extensive computing resources
  • E-Call
  • Ethernet and CAN vehicle interfaces
  • Low standby consumption / Backup supply
  • AUTOSAR prepared





ACU6-Pro Automotive is available in three variants to support worldwide cellular deployment. Together with its flexible subscription management, ACU6-Pro Automotive forms part of ACTIA’s ‘end to end’ solution.

ACU6-Pro Automotive supports services such as eCall and tracking for anti theft systems as standard. The product consists of a fixed ‘base’ section and an adaptable ‘customer’ section. The customer section is available with a standard generic content which can be adapted (i.e. interfaces, connector type, ...) on customer request. Inclusion of antennas for all radio functions as well as the optional backup supply results in a self-contained function and simplifies product integration.

ACU6-Pro Automotive is designed for 12V systems. Future evolutions to the ACU6-Pro Automotive include 24V compatibility, further enhanced telematics features and 5G cellular compliance.





Wireless:
LTE Cat 4. WiFi. Bluetooth. GNSS. Internal antennas for all radio functions. RF ports for connection of external antennas with diagnostics (except Bluetooth) and GNSS phantom feed. Internal antennas for all radio functions.

Network:
Ethernet 100BASE-T1 port (TC10), Ethernet 100BASE-TX and USB2.0 port (host mode) as well as dual CAN FD interfaces with termination port.

Middleware:
Software Development Kit (SDK) with libraries provides full support for customer applications such as data management and processing.


Upgrade:
Software download is supported via the electrical network/s and ‘over the air’ via the cellular or WiFi radio link.

Supply:
The flexible supply concept supports operation with 12V, 24V and 48V systems. The backup battery ensures that critical functions continue if the main supply is lost and ensures clean shutdown and network de-registration.

Subscription:
Virtual MNO setup which supports global roaming with selective localisation.

Processing:
System operation managed by a dual core ‘system on chip’. Each 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A35 core offers 2800 DMIPS. LP-DDR4 RAM 2GByte and 32GByte eMMC as standard.


Security:
Secure boot supported. Data security is ensured through Encrypted Data Storage. HSM is provided for security applications (e.g. key storage).

Electrical interfaces:
Serial interfaces (RS232 and RS485). Digital/analogue/frequency inputs. Highside output, Lowside output. ONSW digital input (KL.15 key on/off)

Internal sensors and indicators: XYZ-axis accelerometer and gyro Three LEDs (1 x Red, 1 x Blue, 1 x Green) Temperature sensor.
