As soon the world
Introduced with V2V communication, many of the company blinks in the lame light
with their astonish ideas and innovations. Here some companies with their
innovations.
Headquartered in
Redmond, (Washington) and founded in 2012, Kymeta aims to make connectivity for vehicles
simple by using global satellite networks via the world’s first satellite
antenna. The company has raised $217.58 Million through five rounds of
funding to date, including backers like Bill Gates.
The company recently
raised $73.5 million in advance of their upcoming satellite antenna commercial
trial. Historically, it’s been difficult to utilize satellite communications
easily. We’ve all seen those big old radar dishes on people’s roofs that are
used to communicate with satellites. Kymeta solved the problem by creating
flat “satellite dishes” that they would prefer that you call antennas that
attach to cars to connect to a global satellite network and relay information
between vehicles. Every car and truck out there has a flat roof with space that
can be used to accommodate one of these (bottom photo) or they can just be
built into the vehicle’s roof (top photo).
Ultimately Kymeta hopes that their technology is able to expand connectivity throughout the world. Their tech accesses the large amount of available satellite bandwidth, rather than the cellular spectrum that other startups have used.

Autotalks was founded
in 2008 and is a smart car company that specializes in V2V communication
specifically for autonomous driving applications. The company has raised $75
million through four rounds of funding to date, and their product comes in
the form of a chipset that aims to provide V2X solutions that offer
reliability, security, positioning accuracy and ease of installation.
For now, the company is
currently in the designing and prototyping phase, with plans to enter
high-volume production in 2019. Autotalks also recently announced
their cooperation with Cohda Wireless.
Founded in 2012, Silicon Valley startup Veniam aims to build city-scale networks of connected vehicles that expand wireless coverage. They have raised $26.9 million through two rounds of funding to date to develop the “Internet of Moving Things” and we highlighted them in a past article on the “Internet of Everything“. Veniam offers their Wi-Fi product for free to vehicle operators and in turn receives a wealth of big data that goes up into “the cloud” where they can do cool things with it. For example, 25% of the travel performed by service vehicles and public vehicles is unnecessary and much of this efficiency can be eliminated by connecting vehicles.
In the upcoming blog I'll be discussing on more startups on V2V communication.
