Release time:
2025-12-25 17:50
Currently, 5G commercialization has entered its sixth year and the “second half” of its development phase. As the technology continues to mature and applications deepen, automakers still face practical challenges beneath the 5G spotlight: 5G eMBB modules, designed for high performance, come with high costs and significant power consumption. Meanwhile, mature 4G technology struggles to meet the demands of future advanced driver assistance systems, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and massive data uploads to the cloud. The ongoing advancement of intelligent connectivity requires a powerful yet economical “smart heart.”
The maturation of 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) technology offers an optimal solution. Defined as a key IoT technology in the 3GPP R17 standard, 5G RedCap achieves this by trimming certain ultra-high-speed broadband enhancements. It precisely preserves 5G's core advantages—low latency, high reliability, and massive connectivity—while significantly reducing module complexity, power consumption, and cost. This positions it as a balanced solution between 4G and high-performance 5G, perfectly aligning with smart vehicles' comprehensive demands for massive data handling, real-time responsiveness, and large-scale commercial deployment.
Building on this foundation, Jingwei Hirain proudly introduces the HM5100 automotive-grade 5G RedCap communication module. With its four core strengths - exceptional performance, fully domestic stack, automotive-grade reliability, and high integration - it expands the communication capabilities of T-BOX and intelligent connected terminals. Enabling seamless 4G-to-5G upgrades, it empowers automakers to accelerate their journey toward comprehensive intelligent mobility.
▎ Breaking the “Impossible Triangle”: Balancing Performance, Reliability, and Cost
- Just Right 5G: Based on the 3GPP R17 standard, the HM5100 achieves generational improvements over 4G in air interface latency and spectrum efficiency, paving the way for automakers to upgrade their future-ready electronic/electrical architectures.
- Unwavering Reliability in Harsh Environments: Strictly adhering to automotive-grade design standards and certified under AEC-Q104 reliability, the HM5100 operates from -40°C to +85°C with a junction temperature of up to 105°C. It withstands extreme temperatures and harsh vibrations, ensuring stable operation throughout the vehicle's lifecycle.
- Cost Advantage Driving Adoption: Through optimized design and full domestic supply chain localization, the HM5100 delivers advanced 5G capabilities while significantly reducing costs, accelerating 5G technology adoption in mainstream markets.
▎ Beyond Basic Connectivity: Building an Enhanced Communication Foundation
- Full-Domain Precision Positioning: Features a dual-frequency BeiDou-priority GNSS chip supporting RTK + inertial navigation fusion positioning. Meets sub-meter positioning accuracy requirements in complex scenarios, compliant with GB 45086 and BeiDou-priority certification standards.
- National-level cryptographic security: Integrates SM2/SM3/SM4 algorithms, certified at EAL 4+ and National Cryptographic Level 2. Delivers end-to-end encryption from chip to communication link, safeguarding vehicle data assets and aiding OEMs in passing domestic cybersecurity compliance reviews.
- Uninterrupted Connectivity in Weak Networks: Supports SUL super uplink, VoNR high-definition voice, and multi-level network self-healing mechanisms. Maintains stable connections in weak network environments or frequent signal handover scenarios like tunnels, underground garages, and high-speed mobility, automatically and rapidly restoring network connectivity to enhance user experience.
▎ Domestic Full-Stack Solution: Autonomous Supply Chain & Open Ecosystem
- Full-Link Domestic Assurance: Core components including chips, RF modules, and power supplies are fully domestically sourced, breaking foreign technology monopolies. This enhances supply chain security and delivery efficiency, empowering automakers to build a sustainable domestic ecosystem.
- OpenHarmony Ecosystem Integration: Comprehensive support for the OpenHarmony operating system builds an open software ecosystem for the intelligent connectivity era, providing T-BOX and in-vehicle terminal manufacturers with a standardized, component-based, and scalable application development environment.
As a leading automotive electronics technology company in China, Jingwei Hirain has consistently prioritized independent innovation and breakthroughs in core technologies. The newly launched HM5100 is a cellular communication module developed entirely in-house, and it stands as one of the earliest 5G RedCap modules in China to achieve full-process production line manufacturing and secure front-end installation orders.
Currently, Jingwei Hirain's HM5100 module has secured pre-installation projects with leading domestic automakers and top joint-venture automakers, and is poised to enter mass production. Anticipating the 5G RedCap pre-installation market valued at tens of billions by 2026, the company simultaneously introduces a “mainboard + plug-in” development kit solution. This enables customers to achieve joint development, rapid validation, agile development, and efficient delivery.
From 4G to 5G, from follower to leader, Jingwei Hirain is propelling China's intelligent connected vehicle industry to new heights with its robust technological foundation and forward-looking strategy. The HM5100 5G RedCap module represents not only a leap in communication capabilities but also a crucial step in advancing the self-reliance of China's automotive electronics sector.
