Over the air (OTA) software and management tools by Sibros will be built into iWave Systems’ rugged telematics device to enable embedded intelligence in-vehicle applications for automotive, industrial, off-road and heavy-duty vehicles.
The partnership will accelerate development of connected services and offerings for mobility from development and manufacturing to field operations and end-of-life.
“This is a step forward in improving the safety, functionality, and success of software-defined vehicles in the US,” said Hemant Sikaria, CEO and co-founder at Sibros. “Sibros and iWave have a shared vision for driving the shift toward connecting and managing software and data for every vehicle across its lifecycle. We are looking forward to working with iWave to innovate new services for OEMs to push the bounds of possibility for the industry.”
OEMs working with Sibros-enabled iWave products will be able to log vehicle data from any electronics control unit (ECU) for insights into product performance. They will also be able to deploy safety-certified OTA software and firmware updates to any domain controller and dispatch safe and secure remote diagnostic commands to any vehicle or fleet.
“Telematics and OTA solutions hold unparalleled importance in software-defined vehicles,” said Abdullah Khan, director of engineering at iWave Systems. Software-defined vehicles are built with more intelligence on the edge with the need for robust data collection and firmware update mechanisms,” he continued, adding that the partnership will “empower OEMs in this fast-changing digital automotive environment”.
iWave enables the future of connected mobility with an extensive portfolio of telematics control units, telematics gateways, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solutions, and protocol stacks. The embedded computing and edge solutions allow automakers to harness vehicle data and build fleet intelligence.
Sibros and iWave’s combined solution will meet international standards for safety, security, and data privacy including ISO 26262 (ASIL-D rated), ISO 21434, WP.29 R155 and R156, and GDPR.
