Cohda Wireless, a global leader in Connected Autonomous Vehicles 
technologies, and Sasken Technologies Ltd. (BSE: 532663) (NSE: SASKEN), a 
leading product engineering and digital transformation services provider, today 
announced a strategic technology partnership to accelerate the adoption of V2X 
(vehicle-to-anything) in the connected vehicles space utilizing either cellular 
or DSRC (dedicated short range communication) technologies. The companies have 
come together to create a complete TCU (Telematics Control Unit) software 
reference design that would include Sasken's TCU software and middleware 
coupled with Cohda Wireless' DSRC/C-V2X (cellular V2X) stack and applications.

    Fabien Cure, Chief Engineer, Cohda Wireless, said, "This partnership is of 
global significance as it will drastically improve time-to-market for OEMs, 
Tier-1s and government transport authority initiatives. The integration of 
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) in production vehicles is very 
complex and the combined experience of Cohda and Sasken presents a unique 
one-stop solution to the market." 

    "Cohda is the only company to integrate V2X software into two car 
manufacturer platforms while Sasken has extensive expertise in vehicle 
integration. This partnership represents a significant milestone in making road 
transport systems safer and smarter," he added.

     Sasken is a preferred partner to several leading Tier-1s and OEMs 
providing product engineering solutions in the Integrated Cockpit System and 
Autonomous areas. Sasken's 10+ years of expertise in the automotive industry is 
backed by strong partnerships with leading silicon vendors and extensive 
experience in the communications space. 

    "Through our collaboration, we aim to create a best-in-class Telematics 
reference design that will benefit autonomous vehicles, public transportation, 
and heavy vehicles industries," said Calvin Nichols, VP and Head-Automotive 
Business, Sasken. "Currently, there is a significant amount of integration of 
telematics, V2X, and vehicle communication software protocols in separate 
electronic modules that create complexity. This solution will enable 
integration of different software requirements into a reference design that 
OEMs and Tier-1s can utilize to streamline their product development time and 
speed to market," he added. 

    Cohda Wireless and Sasken will jointly leverage their combined knowledge in 
the connected vehicles space to make road transport safer, greener and smarter.
