Connectivity

A seamless 5G voice experience inside vehicles is something we all expect but how do car manufacturers ensure their customers experience optimum voice quality for applications such voice calling and eCall? Accurate testing of chipsets, modules and at vehicle level of all the various automotive voice scenarios is the answer, including replicating the acoustic road environment in a lab using a system developed by HEAD acoustics and Rohde & Schwarz. Join this webinar to learn how to conduct comprehensive, standards-compliant tests and enable 5G and 4G voice quality to be optimized. 

In this webinar, you will learn more about:

• 5G and LTE voice automotive ecosystem and use cases
• Automotive 5G VoNR technical developments
• Standards and regulatory framework such as P.11xx and UN ECE R144 
• Voice quality testing at vehicle and component level
