ESAC Chip, Upgrading from LTE-V2X to 5G-V2X Without Replacing Existing Hardware
Simultaneous technology verification within the global ecosystem, such as participation in the V2X project in Arizona, USA
Etipos, a company specializing in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2X) communication semiconductors, is drawing attention for its software-defined 5G-V2X technology and has established a presence in the fields of next-generation intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS) and autonomous driving communication semiconductors.
Etipos has been recognized for its technological competitiveness by being officially listed as a key player in the 'V2X Chipset Market' report recently released by the global market research firm IndustryARC.
The report published by IndustryARC analyzes the V2X chipset market on a global scale and selects 10 companies, including Etipos, along with major semiconductor companies such as Qualcomm, Huawei, NXP, and Samsung Electronics, as subjects for its 'Company Profile'.
This is an exceptional case among Korean semiconductor companies dedicated to V2X, signifying that Etipos has been classified as a major player in the global technology competition landscape.
Particularly noteworthy is Ettifos's core chipset, 'ESAC (Ettifos SIRIUS Accelerator Chip)'.
This chip is LTE-V2It is a dedicated ASIC that supports both X and 5G-V2X, and is characterized by the fact that it can be upgraded from LTE-V2X to 5G-V2X without replacing existing hardware through a software-defined modem architecture.
This structure is considered a significant technical differentiator in terms of scalability, enabling it to respond to future changes in communication standards.
V2X chipsets are a key component responsible for real-time data exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and networks, and are considered a foundational technology for implementing intelligent transportation services such as collision avoidance and traffic management.
IndustryARC cites the proliferation of connected and autonomous vehicles, the expansion of 5G-based communication infrastructure, and government road safety policies as key market growth factors behind the expansion of this technology demand.
Etipos's technological capabilities are also confirmed in actual business cases.
The company participated as an equipment supplier in the Maricopa County V2X public infrastructure project in Arizona, USA, marking the first instance of a Korean company entering a U.S. federal or state government V2X business.
In addition, we are conducting interoperability demonstrations with Audi, Kapsch TrafficCom, and others, while simultaneously verifying compatibility and technology within the global ecosystem.
In addition, Etipos has simultaneously proven its technological reliability and business stability by securing integrated ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications and the highest rating (TI-1) in technology credit evaluation from NICE Information Service.
In particular, meeting the BABA (Build America, Buy America) regulations, which are U.S. public procurement requirements, is considered a significant competitive factor in the strategy to expand into the North American market.
The IndustryARC report also mentions Etifos as one of the key suppliers in the expansion of V2X infrastructure in North America, reflecting its presence in the global market.is

Etipos has been officially listed as a major company in IndustryARC's 'V2X Chipset Market' report.
This is interpreted as an indicator showing that actual market application and supply capabilities are proceeding in parallel, going beyond mere technology ownership.
The current V2X chipset market is rapidly being reorganized around C-V2X, among various communication methods including DSRC and C-V2X.
In particular, C-V2X is a technology that simultaneously supports direct vehicle-to-vehicle communication and mobile network-based communication, ensuring low latency and high reliability; it is expected to establish itself as a core technology for future smart transportation infrastructure.
In line with these market trends, Etipos is pursuing technological advancement centered on 5G-based V2X solutions.
The company announced plans to accelerate entry into major markets, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan, through the mass production of ESAC chips and the expansion of global orders.
Inclusion in this IndustryARC report is regarded as a case that goes beyond a simple company introduction, signifying simultaneous recognition of technological prowess and business potential in the global market.
In particular, the differentiated approach of software-defined V2X communication semiconductors is highly likely to become a core technological pillar across the entire autonomous driving and smart mobility industry in the future.
