LG Innotek to Supply Cutting-Edge Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module to a leading European automotive parts company

Published

on

By

Order value of approximately USD 68M with mass production to begin in 2027Offering data transmission speed three times faster, with no speed degradation even with multiple devices connected simultaneouslyChanging perception of car considered as ‘a second living space’…Trend enhancing growth of Automotive Wi-Fi market, expected to grow 9.6% annually

SEOUL, South Korea, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Innotek (CEO Moon Hyuksoo) announced on the 20th of this month that it will supply its Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module, featuring cutting-edge Wi-Fi technology, to a leading European automotive parts company.

The order is worth approximately USD 68M. Mass production of the module will begin in 2027. LG Innotek’s Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module will be integrated into Audio, Video, and Navigation(AVN) systems, which will then be delivered to the global OEM customer.  

By commercializing its first Automotive Wi-Fi 7 communication module from 2005, LG Innotek expects to cement its leading position in the global automotive connectivity solution market.

LG Innotek’s Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module supports an ultra-wide bandwidth of 320MHz, doubling the bandwidth per channel (width of the path radio waves travel) compared to existing Wi-Fi 6E (6th Generation Extended) modules. Consequently, data throughput and transmission speeds are three times faster than before.  The module is also equipped with 4K-QAM technology which increases the data processing quantity by 20%.

Furthermore, LG Innotek designed the module to support up to two antennas by applying Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO) technology which helps significantly reduce signal loss. A single antenna might miss some signals while handling data transmission, whereas if there is another supplementary antenna, all those missed signals can be covered. This is the reason why several devices, connected at the same time in the same vehicle, can transmit and receive large amounts of data using ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi without experiencing any interruption or latency.

LG Innotek’s Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module incorporates over 150 components, including a Qualcomm communication chip, RF circuitry, and antennas. The module is also compact and slim, measuring about one-sixth the size of a credit card.

In addition, the new module can withstand extreme external temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). It also resists deformation even when exposed to the heat generated by transmitting large amounts of data or the cold when parked outdoors for extended periods in the dead of winter. This is because it was developed with a larger surface area at the circuit-bonding points, allowing it to withstand repeated contraction and expansion.

LG Innotek is also actively promoting the Automotive Wi-Fi 7 Communication Module for European and Japanese OEM customers.

AVN system will not be the exclusive application of the module. LG Innotek is indeed planning to expand the product’s application area to RSE(Rear Seat Entertainment) systems, TCU (Telematics Control Unit) and DCU (Domain Control Unit).

LG Innotek is thus accelerating the expansion of its global market share with automotive connectivity solutions that deliver differentiated customer value, including not only its new automotive Wi-Fi 7 module but also the 5G-V2X Communication Module, 5G-NAD Communication Module, and Automotive AP Module.

Moon Hyuksoo, CEO of LG Innotek stated, “Growth is expected to gain further momentum, driven by Mobility Solution revenue, which is projected to grow by an average of 20% annually for the foreseeable future, particularly as sales of automotive AP modules begin in earnest in the fourth quarter of this year. LG Innotek will continue to lead the market by introducing innovative solutions that deliver differentiated driving experiences.”

[Glossary] Automotive Wi-Fi communication module:
This is a short-range wireless communication component that connects the infotainment(IVI: In-Vehicle Infotainment) system, which controls vehicle operation information and multimedia content, to internal smart devices and external routers. It is primarily installed in the front AVN(Audio Video Navigation) system and rear seat displays. With this Wi-Fi module, all passengers can use video conferencing services, stream videos, listen to music, and more without worrying about data consumption or smartphone tethering.
As cars evolve beyond mere transportation into a “second living space,” the automotive Wi-Fi communication module is gaining attention as a core electronic component for the connected car and autonomous driving era.

[Glossary] QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)
QAM refers to a method of transmitting data by embedding it in wireless signals. The higher the QAM level, the more data can be transmitted at once. Wi‑Fi 7 supports 4,096 (4K) QAM, which is four times higher than the previous generation.

[Reference] Global In-Vehicle Wi-Fi Market Size
According to Global Market Insights (GMI), the global in-vehicle Wi‑Fi market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%, expanding from USD 20.9 billion in 2025 to USD 47.7 billion by 2035. In line with this market trend, global automakers are increasingly launching new vehicles equipped with Wi‑Fi communication modules as a standard feature.

BrightParent Introduces Personalized Parenting App for Parents of Kids Ages 5 to 17

Published

on

By

BrightParent gives parents personalized support, in-the-moment guidance, and 7-day programs for everyday challenges like bedtime battles, homework conflict, big emotions, and sibling tension.

MONTREAL, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BrightParent, a new parenting app for iPhone and iPad, is now available on the App Store.

“BrightParent was created as a parenting tool that can not only help in the moment, but also support families as they work through patterns that come up again and again.”

Designed for parents of children ages 5 to 17, BrightParent was created to address a gap many families run into every day: parenting advice often sounds good in theory but can feel too generic, too idealized, or too hard to use when real situations are unfolding at home.

“Parents are often trying to respond well in moments that are messy, emotional, and moving fast,” said Claire Bennett, media contact for BrightParent. “What is missing in a lot of existing advice is something that feels calm, practical, and specific enough to help with the child and situation right in front of you.”

BrightParent focuses on common parenting situations such as bedtime resistance, homework struggles, emotional outbursts, sibling conflict, screen time transitions, difficult mornings, and everyday boundary issues.

The app begins with a detailed onboarding process that helps parents build a fuller picture of their child and family context. That information helps shape the support BrightParent provides, so the guidance reflects the child’s age, the situation the parent describes, and the broader family context.

Parents can type in what is happening and receive practical guidance along with simple, natural scripts they can use with their child. For families working through recurring challenges, BrightParent also offers structured 7-day programs, including custom programs parents can create around the specific issues they want help addressing over time.

“The goal was not to build another general-purpose chatbot,” Bennett said. “BrightParent was created as a parenting tool that can not only help in the moment, but also support families as they work through patterns that come up again and again.”

BrightParent is built specifically for everyday parenting support. It is not a general purpose chatbot and does not provide medical, clinical, therapeutic, diagnostic, or crisis services.

BrightParent is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
