Connectivity Gateway CG 3.2

Connectivity Gateway CG 3.2

The CG 3.2 is the new Bosch Motorsport connectivity gateway for global operation: two world-wide 5G-SA modems with 4G fallback capability within a single device, four eSIMs and two 4FF SIM slots for simultaneous connection to two distinct Mobile Network Operators, one DR GNSS dual-band multi-constellation receiver, a WiFi link and 16 GB internal memory for data logging.

The combination of CG 3.2 with RaceConnect provides a highly flexible solution to manage from remote a race-cars fleet, optimise live data analysis, process and distribute data to multiple users and 3rdParty cloud\desktop applications for local\remote use.

The adoption of CG 3.2 allows for plug&play setup with the Bosch and Motec controllers, displays and loggers, but data can be RXed\TXed also from\to 3rdParty in-vehicle’s devices; its integrated network switch allows VLANs for multiple systems to be connected to the device simultaneously and securely: e.g. scrutineering and chassis/engine loggers.

Bi-directional communication enables Race Control Marshalling, scrutineering, remote Fleet Management, FOTA and Configuration Over The Air, while new transmission strategies will maximise the data throughput also in challenging RF environment conditions.

To be noted that CG 3.2 is already compliant with 5G Slicing, 5G Private and 5G Hybrid networks.

Provided with a powerful 2 GHz quad-core CPU and a 2 TOPS NPU, the new Bosch Connectivity Gateway will also allow on-board ML & AI data\images processing when connected to IP cameras, for example.

In an IP67 light and robust aluminium enclosure, rated for the harsh motorsport environment, CG 3.2 integrates also super-capacitors to remain operational up to 30 s in case the main power source is detached.

Finally, this same device can be operated in the pit-stands as “receiver” to directly get the telemetry data in case Internet access to RaceConnect is not available.

NOTE: all the CG 3.2 functionalities described in this datasheet (simultaneous use of 2 MNOs, Configurable Radio Transmission Strategies, DR GNSS, datalogging, Wi-Fi, FW and Calibration OTA) will be gradually introduced starting from 2026 Q1. Please contact Bosch Motorsport for further details.
