Keysight and NIO Pioneer the Next Generation of Smart Electric Vehicles

Keysight Technologies has enabled NIO to successfully validate the wireless systems in its smart electric vehicles using Keysight network emulation solutions. As a result, NIO’s vehicles now comply with 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 standards and deliver improved connectivity and performance to support the next generation of electric vehicle development.

As vehicles become more connected to the world, there are several challenges to address, including ensuring compliance with evolving standards like 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 to guarantee reliable connectivity. Enhancing connectivity performance is crucial for features such as autonomous driving, real-time navigation, and in-car entertainment. To optimize the production and operational efficiency of smart vehicles, advanced automation, AI integration, and robust data interoperability are essential. Maintaining a competitive edge in this rapidly evolving market requires continuous innovation and adaptation to meet consumer and regulatory requirements.

Keysight’s network emulation solutions tackle this challenge by providing extensive testing for 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 for Wi-Fi 7, 4G, and 5G, as well as 5G New Radio (NR), Long-Term Evolution (LTE), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and internet of things (IoT) radio frequency testing. The emulation capabilities enable NIO to meet the growing demands of smart mobility while still ensuring safety, compliance, and reliability. Key benefits include:
