TrackFi PowerMesh
Secure high bandwidth data transfer
TrackFi PowerMesh is a premium dual band wireless mesh network, capable of creating secure scalable wireless networks to provide low latency and high bandwidth data transfer between multiple vehicles. Making it the ideal solution for vehicle track testing including Euro NCAP protocols, and driverless durability and misuse testing.
Complete connectivity of all test vehicles and objects
TrackFi PowerMesh provides robust communication between systems and the base station. This enables the control and monitoring of systems on a proving ground through Ground Traffic Control and precise ADAS testing through Synchro. As a result, engineers and researchers are empowered to gather accurate and real-time data from multiple systems, enabling more efficient testing and analysis.
Designed for the most challenging environments
By overcoming challenges such as high-speed testing, real-world interference, and obstacles, TrackFi PowerMesh ensures uninterrupted communication for users. It is suitable for use in areas with obstructions such as trees or buildings and is immune to destructive multi-path interference. The meshing technology employed by TrackFi PowerMesh intelligently routes data, adapting to dynamically changing scenarios. TrackFi PowerMesh also offers the flexibility to scale networks and cover large areas, making it suitable for a wide range of track testing environments. So whether it's a small testing facility or a sprawling track, the system can be seamlessly expanded to meet specific needs.
TrackFi PowerMesh ensures optimal performance and data integrity, allowing engineers to focus on testing without worrying about data loss or latency.
Case Study: Growth of Driverless and ADAS Testing
The recent growth in wireless data transfer from the increasing use of driverless traffic in automotive testing is causing significant issues for the industry.
Increasingly complex test scenarios require the use of driverless vehicles and other moving elements, such as ADAS targets, which must all be in constant communication with each other. This increase in data transfer can result in interference and signal dropout, triggering fail-safe architectures to stop the test, meaning that test scenarios have to be reset and repeated. In this case study, discover how the implementation of TrackFi PowerMesh by Renault enhanced the efficiency of their Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) testing.
