From 4G to 5G, the product types are constantly enriched, and the communication rate, computing power and multimedia capabilities are constantly improving. At the same time, on the basis of intelligent modules, MeiG Intelligent has built a system that supports deep customization of the Android system, one-core multi-screen, one-core multi-camera, HUD, DMS, 360-degree surround view, ADAS, precise sound zone positioning, and continuous voice recognition. Smart cockpit solutions with diverse functions.
In terms of car networking , SLM750, SLM868, MA800, MA922, and MA925 are specially designed for car networking applications. The latest generation of car-level modules MA925/MA922 already supports 5G C-V2X functions. Through the built-in ECDSA hardware engine, C-V2X signature verification performance up to 6,000 times per second can be achieved, helping to realize vehicle-road collaboration and further expand the new intelligent network connection. application.
▌Smart modules, a new force in the digital cockpit
On August 31, Niu Fangwei, senior product director of MeiG Smart, delivered a keynote speech titled "Smart Modules, New Forces in Digital Cockpit" at the Cockpit Car Association special session on August 31 , explaining the important role of smart modules in digital cockpits , and shared the product layout and technical advantages of MeiG smart vehicle modules.
Niu Fangwei pointed out that smart cockpit innovation is a new trend in the automotive industry. Smart modules are favored by the market due to their advantages such as high integration, excellent wireless communication capabilities, strong CPU and AI computing power, multimedia capabilities, and self-contained software systems. Building smart cockpit solutions with high reliability, low cost and low power consumption based on smart modules has become a new direction for industrial development.

Based on the Qualcomm chip platform, MeiG Smart has promoted a series of smart module products and smart cockpit solutions to help car companies continue to iterate digital cockpit functions. At the same time, a wholly-owned subsidiary was established to focus on the vehicle module business, to promote the extension of technology and products to 5G+C-V2X, intelligent driving and other fields, and to continue to expand the global vehicle market.
Talking about the advantages of the company's smart cockpit solution, Niu Fangwei said that MeiG Smart has launched a self-developed "one-core multi-camera" and "one-core multi-screen" architecture. The "one-core multi-camera" solution can build an underlying framework for the visual capabilities of the device, and cooperate with image recognition algorithms to realize face recognition, motion detection, fatigue detection, 360-degree surround view, intelligent assisted driving and other on-board visual perception functions. The "one-core multi-screen" architecture has realized the combination of dual-screen and multi-screen different combination schemes for consumer and vehicle products, and realized multi-screen linkage interactive operation at the application layer, as well as conversion and combination requirements for various general display interface peripherals. Fully meet the needs of flexible and changeable collocation.
The automotive electronic and electrical architecture has evolved from distributed to centralized, and T-Box has begun to integrate across domains. MeiG Smart adopts T-BOX+IVI (entertainment navigation system) dual-domain fusion method, and with the support of high computing power SoC platform, it integrates functions such as FOTA upgrade, Bluetooth key, remote control, navigation and positioning, multimedia audio-visual entertainment, etc., to realize Efficient interconnection between various functional modules in the cockpit, and sufficient computing power to complete efficient data processing and various intelligent function scheduling in the cockpit.
On the other hand, while the computing power and communication capabilities of the vehicle platform are improved, the upper layer applications are also becoming more and more abundant, and functional safety has always been the focus of the industry. Focusing on virtualization technology, MeiG Intelligent launched a self-developed LXC container virtualization solution , taking into account the safety of driving functions and rich cockpit entertainment functions. This solution can not only realize high-performance communication and interaction between multiple systems, but also effectively ensure partition isolation between operating systems without interfering with each other, and improve overall security. Compared with the traditional hypervisor solution, the hardware performance requirements are lower, and the cost performance advantage is more favorable.
In addition, MeiG smart vehicle-mounted intelligent modules are developed and manufactured in strict accordance with the IATF 16949:2016 automotive industry quality management system standard to ensure stable and efficient vehicle-mounted network communication and high-precision positioning in harsh automotive application environments.
At present, a variety of vehicle-mounted intelligent modules of MeiG Intelligent has won a number of mainstream automobile brand customer projects. Recently, it has successfully obtained the cockpit domain controller project appointment of a leading Tier1 car-making new power in China to create a next-generation intelligent cockpit solution for it. solutions to create a more immersive and intelligent cockpit experience. Relevant smart cockpit products have been fully installed on the new flagship models of many new power partners and commercialized in large quantities, and have accumulated rich experience in mass production.
At the same time, the 2023 Smart Car Software and Network Security Cockpit Competitiveness Awards Ceremony was held. Based on the data performance of mass-produced models from 2022 to 2023, Gaogong Intelligent Vehicle Research Institute announced the TOP10 5G/V2X modules and systems for vehicles in 2023. As a supplier , MeiG Smart was listed on the list with its excellent 5G module product strength and outstanding market performance, and returned with a good reputation .
