V2X specialist Autotalks has incorporated CEVA’s XC4500 and BX1 processors in its TEKTON3 and SECTON3 next generation V2X chipsets, providing technology for utilising 5G in V2X implementations. The collaboration between the two firms is long-standing, and Autotalks current generation of chips, SECTON and CRATON2 are also powered by CEVA processors.

The CEVA-XC4500 is a communications processor, and the CEVA-BX1 is a digital signal processor.

TEKTON3 and SECTON3 are designed to support all existing and upcoming V2X requirements, with the CEVA DSPs supporting the 5G NR-V2X modem operation of these chips, enabling enhanced V2X capabilities for safety and autonomous driving. TEKTON3 and SECTON3 have already been selected for series production of a passenger car by a major automotive OEM, set to be available in the market in 2026.

Amos Freund, Autotalks VP R&D, said: “Autotalks is pleased to expand its collaboration with CEVA and continue to provide the world’s best V2X hardware and software with our TEKTON3 and SECTON3 chips. CEVA’s DSPs play a crucial role in the ability to concurrently support DSRC and C-V2X technologies, including the latest 5G NR-V2X standard. We are excited to see these chips deployed in passenger vehicles in the coming years, helping protect drivers, two-wheelers, and pedestrians.”

Guy Keshet, Vice President and General Manager of the Mobile Broadband Business Unit at CEVA, said: “Autotalks is widely recognised as a pioneer in V2X chipsets, constantly pushing the technology forward to achieve mass market adoption. We are proud to work closely with them to provide our best-in-class DSPs for two generations of their V2X technology. We look forward to safer roads in the future, thanks in part to Autotalks lifesaving V2X solutions.”
