Telematics Control Unit (TCU) is a system that is embedded on board which is used to control communication, tracking and diagnostics to the vehicle. This TCU is used in vehicle for electronic tolling, ecall crash notification and many other applications. The Transistorized Ignition (TI) product range enables customers to build TCU designs that allow higher bandwidth, greater flexibility and smaller sizes of solutions.

The benefits of TCU include:

• Increasing vehicle connectivity by adding external modems and servers to improve vehicle communication to a cloud, network or other vehicles
• Reliable, secure and faster transmission of data allow connection to other automotive systems
• Optimization of antenna power for better current detection, monitoring and reduced noise

Market Insights
