Goodix automotive-grade Bluetooth LE SoC -- GR5410 (PRNewsfoto/Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co. Ltd.)
Goodix Technology has announced a significant advancement in automotive technology with the introduction of its next-generation Bluetooth LE system-on-chip (SoC), the GR5410. This innovative product is designed to enhance the use of digital car keys, allowing users to unlock their vehicles simply by approaching, without needing to interact with their phones or key fobs. This development aligns with the growing trend towards seamless, hands-free experiences in the automotive sector.
Building on the newly released Bluetooth® Core Specification 6.1 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the GR5410 features improvements in accuracy, performance, and connectivity options. The chip is engineered to support high-precision ranging and low-latency communication, thus catering to a variety of modern automotive applications.
Advanced Features and Certification
The GR5410 is one of the first chips to achieve dual certification for Bluetooth® 6.1 and Channel Sounding technology. This certification ensures enhanced privacy protection and energy efficiency, vital for high-demand applications in vehicles. With the ability to synchronize ranging across multiple nodes in approximately 200 milliseconds, the chip significantly improves the refresh rates and accuracy of location tracking, achieving precision within ±50 cm over distances exceeding 50 meters.
To ensure robust security, the GR5410 employs an advanced architecture powered by Arm China’s STAR-MC1 Core. It incorporates features such as secure boot, protected debugging, and a unique “one-chip-one-key” hardware security module (HSM). These measures provide comprehensive protection for intelligent cockpit and digital car key systems, essential for maintaining user trust in connected vehicle technologies.
Market Impact and Future Prospects
Already, the GR5410 has been selected for several projects by various automakers and Tier 1 suppliers, with pilot production slated for the first quarter of 2026. This timeline positions Goodix to play a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of Bluetooth innovations in smart vehicles, reflecting the industry’s shift towards greater intelligence and connectivity.
Goodix has established itself as a leading provider of digital car key solutions, with its technologies already in commercial use across multiple models from mainstream Chinese automakers. The company is committed to enhancing mobility experiences through innovative wireless connectivity technologies, ensuring that automakers can deliver smarter, more convenient, and secure solutions to consumers.
As the automotive industry continues its evolution, Goodix’s investment in advanced technologies will likely shape the future of digital car access and connectivity. Through its focus on high-quality products and comprehensive support, Goodix is poised to remain at the forefront of this transformative era in automotive technology.
