Why it matters
SORACOM is testing the core promise of connected-car infrastructure, that a remote-controlled vehicle keeps its link when one line drops, at a consortium meeting before an audience of operators and automakers.
Key Facts
- SORACOM will demonstrate IRIGATE at the AECC All-Member Meeting in Tokyo on November 10.
- The demo remote controls a vehicle-mounted camera while switching lines and maintaining the connection.
- Communications continue by switching to another line after a USB dongle is removed from an IRIGATE terminal.
- IRIGATE manages authentication, billing and routing through a cloud core and in-vehicle terminals.
- SORACOM joined AECC in May 2024.
The demo shows a vehicle-mounted camera remote controlled while the connection switches between lines, including continuing communications after a USB dongle is removed. SORACOM joined AECC in May 2024 and frames the work as verification toward standardization.
The demonstration is scheduled for the AECC All-Member Meeting in Tokyo on November 10. IRIGATE pairs a cloud-side core with in-vehicle terminals, and authentication, billing and routing are handled on the same concepts carriers use for their own networks.
The test condition is a disconnection: a USB dongle is pulled from the lines attached to an IRIGATE terminal, and communications are expected to continue on another line. SORACOM says the platform draws on mobile core technology developed for its SORACOM AI/IoT communications service, which can be deployed on the cloud.
