Apacer launches innovative in-vehicle EFC-G/EFC-R module series integrating CAN Bus and GPS to build a complete IoV platform for rapid system adoption

mPCIe CAN+GPS module: EFC-G/EFC-R Series.

As changing markets continue to push technological and service innovations in connected cars, Apacer Technology has developed the dual-PCB EFC-G/EFC-R module series which integrates CAN bus communication module and GPS functions. Apacer’s innovative embedded PCIe module EFC-G/EFC-R series can be adopted by vehicle computer systems faster, shortening time to market, due to its small size and low power consumption. It supports multiple serial protocols on the market, including OBD-II and J1939/J1708, and is equipped with independent two-channel CAN and one-channel J1708 interface. Its dual-PCB module design also provides flexibility for use in a space-constraint vehicle computer system.

With built-in u-blox Neo-M8 GPS in the top layer, Apacer’s embedded miniature automotive module EFC-G/ EFC-R series supports many different regional satellite systems, including the USA’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and China’s Beidou. To complement the highly integrated embedded module, Apacer has developed an exclusive Software Development Kits (SDK) which enables flexible expansion of required Vehicle diagnostic and GPS information on the control panel, increasing the visibility of key information amidst the massive data. The selected information can also be synchronized to cloud for backup, ensuring the preservation of important files. Apacer’s highly integrated embedded module EFC-G/EFC-R series satisfies requirements for vehicle’s information gathering, tracking and management in all types of automotives or fleets, making it the ideal comprehensive embedded solution.
