IATF16949 Certification: Ensuring Compliance for Automotive Applications
As an external rubber rod antenna certified under the IATF16949 automotive quality management system, we adhere to automotive-grade standards throughout the entire product lifecycle. During the design phase, we prioritize outdoor vehicle applications to mitigate risks such as signal obstruction and environmental corrosion. Our supply chain utilizes carefully selected automotive-grade rubber materials and communication components to eliminate non-compliant materials. During production, we utilize Process Failure Mode Analysis (FMEA) to manage key processes, and our finished product testing rigorously meets automotive product stability requirements. Each antenna comes with a unique traceability code, enabling full traceability from raw materials to delivery. We provide automotive manufacturers and in-vehicle equipment manufacturers with communication components that meet automotive industry standards.
2. Rubber Material + External Design: Dual Empowerment for In-Vehicle Use
Rubber Material: Durable and Weather-Resistant, Suitable for Outdoor Environments
Made of highly elastic automotive-grade rubber, it offers three core advantages: First, it is flexible and drop-resistant, withstanding drops from a height of 1.5 meters without damage. It also withstands vehicle bumps and minor collisions while driving without causing the antenna to break. Second, it is fully weather-resistant, operating stably in a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It is resistant to UV aging (6000 hours of exposure without cracking), rain (IP67 waterproof rating), and automotive oil corrosion, addressing the pain points of traditional plastic antennas prone to brittle cracking and metal antennas prone to rust. Third, it offers a soft feel and can be slightly bent and adjusted during installation to accommodate the installation space of different vehicle models.
External Design: Unobstructed Signal, Flexible Installation
Compared to internal antennas, the external antenna layout eliminates signal shielding from metal bodywork, improving communication signal reception range by over 40%. It is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high signal sensitivity, such as 4G/5G connected vehicles and V2X short-range communications. The antenna is only 12-18cm long and 8-10mm in diameter. It can be flexibly installed on the roof, rearview mirror bracket, trunk side, and other locations via a threaded connector or adhesive base, maintaining the vehicle's streamlined design and allowing for easy removal and replacement.
III. All-Scenario In-Vehicle Communications: Supporting Smart Mobility Functions
This antenna is highly adaptable to core in-vehicle communication needs:
V2X Communication: The external, unobstructed design ensures real-time data transmission between the vehicle and roadside units (RSUs) and other vehicles on the road (OBUs), providing stable signal support for safety features such as intersection collision warnings and traffic light push notifications.
4G/5G Network Connection: Provides high-speed network connectivity for in-vehicle voice interaction, online navigation updates, and HD audio and video playback, eliminating network lag in weak signal areas such as tunnels and mountainous areas.
Positioning Assistance Enhancement: In conjunction with the GNSS positioning system, the external signal can reduce signal obstruction caused by tall buildings and trees, improving vehicle positioning accuracy and assisting ADAS systems with lane keeping and automatic parking.
Remote Monitoring and Management: Provides continuous communication for remote tracking, vehicle condition monitoring, and over-the-air (OTA) updates for freight vehicles and ride-hailing services, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission.
IV. Strict Quality Control: Building a Solid Defense for In-Vehicle Reliability
Based on the IATF16949 system, we implement comprehensive quality control throughout the entire process. Rubber materials undergo tensile strength and aging resistance testing at the raw material level, and internal communication components undergo high- and low-temperature performance screening. Production utilizes a rubber vulcanization and one-piece molding process to ensure seamless antenna housings (preventing water ingress), and internal components are treated with waterproof glue potting. Finished product testing encompasses 15 specialized in-vehicle tests, including a 1,000-cycle bend test (bend angle ±45°), a 24-hour salt spray test, a 72-hour high- and low-temperature cycling test, and a signal attenuation rate test. A one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support are provided after delivery to promptly address installation, interface adaptation, and signal optimization issues, ensuring worry-free customer experience.
