OVERVIEW OF TEST SYSTEM
The SGS vehicle wireless communication vehicle antenna
performance (OTA) test plan comprehensively adopts the most
widely accepted spherical near-field multi-probe test system in
the sector, which can verify various indicators such as the
vehicle 2/3/4/5G, positioning system GNSS (including GPS,
BDS, GALILEO, GLONASS), V2X, ultra-wideband UWB, and
covers a measurement range from 400mhz to 10ghz.
NECESSITY OF TESTING
Not only can it effectively improve driving safety: C-V2X
technology communicates with other vehicles and their
environments to achieve vehicle road collaboration. When
C-V2X technology is used, the radiation performance of the
in-vehicle communication system becomes one of the foundations
of driving safety, and also improves user experience: improves
the stability of Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connections, improves navigation
accuracy, accelerating map loading response speed, and other
in-vehicle entertainment applications based on wireless
communication technology have also been effectively improved.
WHAT IS CONFORMANCE CERTIFICATION?
Both GCF and PTCRB organizations are composed of
operators, manufacturers, and authorized laboratories. GCF is
a mandatory requirement for European operators; PTCRB is a
mandatory requirement of cellular telecommunications
industry association; that is to say, communication products
related to operators entering Europe and the United States
must have GCF and PTCRB certificates.
CONFORMANCE CERTIFICATION TESTING ITEMS
• RF testing
• Protocol testing
• Audio testing
• Sim/sat testing
• Field trial and interoperability
• OTA
SCOPE OF CONFORMANCE CERTIFICATION PRODUCTS
• Mobile telecommunication system
• Gateway device
• IOT device
• Internet of vehicle device
• Other wireless device

WHAT IS ECALL?
ECall is a system that provides automatic messages to
emergency services after a road collision, including precise
collision locations. In-vehicle eCall is an emergency call (E112
wireless call) that is manually generated by vehicle occupants
by pressing a button, or automatically generated by activating
vehicle sensors after a collision. After activation, the in-vehicle
eCall device will establish an emergency call to directly
transmit voice and data to the nearest emergency service
(usually the nearest 112 public safety response point, PSAP).
These systems aim to shorten the time between accidents
and the provision of medical services. Its purpose is to reduce
the consequences of injury and prevent death and disability.
SGS ECALL SERVICE SCOPE
• EU eCall certification
• UNECE eCall certification
• UAE eCall certification
PRODUCT SCOPE
• Part-level components: including control and communication
modules, receiving and transmitting antennas, power supply
(including backup power supply), relevant wiring harnesses, etc.
• STUS (separate technical units): technical units that can
independently transmit and receive emergency functions,
such as T-box.
• In vehicle systems: components + STUS +vehicle testing.
WHAT IS FiRa CERTIFICATION?
The name FiRa, fine ranging, stands for \"precise ranging,\"
which highlights the unique ability of UWB technology to
provide unprecedented accuracy in measuring distance or
determining the relative position of targets. In challenging
environments, in particular, UWB technology outperforms
other technologies in terms of accuracy, power consumption,
robustness and security of RF connections. The FiRa alliance is
composed of several internationally renowned technology
enterprises, aiming to promote the seamless user experience
by using ultra wideband (UWB) technology, and to ensure the
establishment of an interoperable UWB ecosystem across
chipsets, devices and infrastructure services through the
development of standards and certification.
