Vector Launches cube:tap Interface for Efficient LTE-V2X Testing
The cube:tap provides plug-and-play LTE-V2X measurement, configurable global communication, integrated GNSS for time/position sync, and supports multiple virtual ITS stations for complex ECU validation.

Vector Informatik introduces the cube:tap interface, a new hardware solution for the development and test of 3GPP LTE-V2X (PC5)-based Car2X/V2X communication. The measurement hardware is optimally aligned with CANoe.Car2x or CANalyzer.Car2x, enabling efficient validation of LTE-V2X ECUs for series production.
Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the cube:tap interface connects directly to the Vector tools CANoe.Car2x or CANalyzer.Car2x, and is immediately ready for use in both laboratory environments and real-world vehicle setups. Its flexibly configurable communication parameters cover European, US and Chinese standards, ensuring global applicability. An integrated GNSS receiver provides precise time and position data, which also serves to synchronise distributed measurement recordings – a key requirement for reliable post-analysis. Multiple virtual ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) stations can be simulated with just one device – ideal for replicating complex test scenarios and validating ECUs in cooperative transport systems.
In combination with CANoe or CANalyzer, the cube:tap interface forms a powerful solution for analysing and testing LTE-V2X applications. It can be operated in parallel with the proven VN4610 interface for DSRC-based applications. With this end-to-end V2X test tool chain, Vector offers a future-proof extension to modern development environments.
