HARMAN Unveils Ready Aware at MWC 2025 – A Game-Changer in Vehicle-to-Network Technology

At MWC Barcelona 2025, HARMAN, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, introduced Ready Aware, a cutting-edge Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) solution designed to enhance driver safety by providing real-time contextual alerts. This innovative software service helps drivers make safer decisions by offering "sight beyond sight", detecting potential road hazards even beyond the reach of onboard sensors.

What Makes Ready Aware Special?
Real-time hazard detection – Alerts drivers about road dangers such as stationary vehicles, sudden braking, or unexpected obstacles.
AI-powered precision – Uses machine learning and a "confidence engine" to filter out false positives, ensuring only relevant and accurate warnings.
Seamless integration – Works with existing vehicles via over-the-air (OTA) updates, supports both 4G and 5G, and is compatible with Android and Linux-based systems.
Euro NCAP 2026 compliance – In partnership with HERE Technologies, Ready Aware helps car manufacturers meet new European safety standards by enabling advanced V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication.
What is V2N Technology and Why Does It Matter?
Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) is an advanced communication system that connects vehicles to cloud-based networks, enabling them to exchange real-time traffic, safety, and navigation data. Unlike traditional in-car sensors that have a limited range, V2N technology allows cars to:
✔️ Receive live traffic updates to avoid congestion.
✔️ Get early warnings about road hazards like accidents, extreme weather, or sudden slowdowns.
✔️ Communicate with smart infrastructure such as traffic lights and road signs for better navigation.
✔️ Improve autonomous driving by integrating vehicle data into a larger, intelligent traffic ecosystem.

With Ready Aware, HARMAN is taking V2N technology to the next level, making roads smarter, safer, and more connected. This means fewer surprises on the road, better situational awareness for drivers, and a smoother transition towards intelligent mobility solutions in the future!
