SolidRun Powers Global V2X Infrastructure with High-Performance Edge Platforms

Collaboration with CiT – Communication in Traffic Expands SolidRun’s Leadership in the Connected Vehicle V2X Ecosystem

SolidRun, a leading developer of high-performance System on Module (SoM) solutions and edge computing platforms, has announced its expanding role in powering next-generation V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) infrastructure worldwide. As transportation systems continue to evolve toward automation and real-time intelligence, SolidRun’s embedded computing platforms are at the core of enabling safe, secure, and efficient communication between vehicles, road users, and infrastructure.

As part of this global expansion, SolidRun has partnered with  consider it GmbH, the German company behind the CiT – Communication in Traffic brand. This collaboration puts SolidRun’s proven i.MX 8XLite System on Module into CiT’s newly launched CiT One OBU (Onboard Unit) and CiT One RSU (Roadside Unit), two turnkey V2X solutions engineered for intelligent transportation systems, public transit, emergency vehicle prioritization, and autonomous driving applications

The adoption of V2X technology is rapidly increasing as governments, municipalities, and transportation authorities invest in smarter mobility infrastructure. By enabling continuous communication between vehicles, traffic management systems, pedestrians, and connected infrastructure, V2X solutions help reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and support the deployment of autonomous and connected vehicles. These capabilities are becoming increasingly important as cities modernize their transportation networks to meet growing demands for safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency.

SolidRun’s embedded computing platforms provide the processing performance and reliability required to support these demanding applications. Designed for long product lifecycles and industrial environments, the company’s automotive-ready System on Modules enable developers to accelerate product development while maintaining flexibility for a wide range of deployment scenarios. This modular approach allows customers to focus on application innovation while leveraging a proven hardware platform.

“Our mission is to deliver the foundational computing technology that makes smart infrastructure and connected mobility possible,” said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO of SolidRun. “With CiT’s new V2X products, our automotive-grade platforms are now helping municipalities and mobility providers deploy intelligent systems that reduce congestion, enhance safety, and prepare cities for the autonomous future.”

SolidRun’s i.MX 8XLite SoM platform is uniquely suited for real-time processing in safety-critical environments. With integrated features like CAN bus, automotive Ethernet, expansion headers, and GPIOs, it provides V2X product developers with a flexible and robust foundation for prototyping and scaling their connected vehicle solutions. Its powerful Arm Cortex A35 processors and suite of high-speed interfaces make it ideal for controller-based architectures that demand precise synchronization and low-latency communication between vehicles and infrastructure.

Beyond its processing capabilities, the i.MX 8XLite platform offers developers a scalable architecture that simplifies integration into existing transportation infrastructure. Whether deployed in roadside equipment, traffic management systems, or connected vehicles, the platform provides the reliability and deterministic performance required for mission-critical communications where every millisecond matters.

Its low-power design also makes it well suited for edge deployments where energy efficiency is essential. Combined with industrial-grade durability and long-term product availability, the platform enables transportation solution providers to build systems that can remain operational for years while adapting to evolving V2X standards and future software updates.

As intelligent transportation systems continue to expand globally, the ability to process data directly at the edge is becoming increasingly important. Rather than relying solely on centralized cloud infrastructure, edge computing enables real-time decision making closer to where data is generated. This reduces latency, minimizes network congestion, and improves the responsiveness required for applications such as emergency vehicle prioritization, collision avoidance, adaptive traffic control, and connected public transportation.

By combining advanced embedded computing with secure connectivity, SolidRun enables partners to develop intelligent transportation solutions that are ready for deployment in both urban and rural environments. The company’s platforms are designed to support evolving mobility requirements while providing a stable hardware foundation for software-defined transportation systems.

Built around SolidRun’s power-efficient and rugged i.MX 8XLite SoM, the CiT One RSU and OBU deliver real-time data processing, secure V2X communication (including DSRC/802.11p), and advanced connectivity options such as LTE, GNSS, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi. These platforms are engineered to meet the environmental and operational demands of roadside infrastructure and in-vehicle deployment, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of smart mobility use cases

“SolidRun’s platform gave us the performance, security, modular flexibility, and long-term support we needed to bring our vision for the CiT One product family to life,” said Leutrim Mustafa, Head of consider innovation. “This collaboration accelerates our ability to deliver V2X-ready infrastructure that improves traffic safety and efficiency for cities and vehicle manufacturers alike.”

The collaboration between SolidRun and CiT demonstrates the growing importance of partnerships across the intelligent transportation ecosystem. By combining robust embedded hardware with specialized V2X software and communication technologies, the two companies are helping accelerate the deployment of connected infrastructure that improves road safety, enhances traffic efficiency, and supports the transition toward autonomous mobility.

As cities continue investing in digital infrastructure and connected transportation initiatives, demand for reliable edge computing platforms is expected to grow significantly. SolidRun remains committed to delivering high-performance embedded solutions that empower OEMs, system integrators, and technology partners to build the next generation of intelligent transportation systems for markets around the world.

The CiT One RSU is a rugged, pole-mountable roadside unit that enables infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communication, ideal for use at intersections, traffic control points, and transit corridors. The CiT One OBU, designed for in-vehicle installation, supports vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication for fleet, public safety, and autonomous vehicle applications. Both products are available and being actively deployed across smart city and connected transport initiatives in Europe.
