Anritsu and LG Electronics successfully validated LG’s in-vehicle system (IVS) for Hybrid eCall operation using Anritsu’s eCall evaluation solution, achieving the industry certification to the European standard EN 18052:2025 for Hybrid eCall. The platform confirms the correct end-to-end operation of the eCall service chain across coexisting circuit-switched (2G/3G) and packet-switched (4G/LTE IMS) networks, as specified for Hybrid eCall deployments.
The results demonstrate that LG’s IVS meets the functional and interoperability requirements defined for Hybrid eCall, supporting continuity of emergency services during network transitions. Hybrid eCall ensures backward compatibility with legacy circuit-switched networks while enabling Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) over IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) in packet-switched networks.
Hybrid eCall places stringent requirements on end-to-end interoperability across heterogeneous network technologies. This validation with LG confirms the correct implementation of Hybrid eCall behavior, conforming with the latest European eCall standards.
The validated Hybrid eCall setup was demonstrated at the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) event in Gothenburg on April 23, 2026, in a realistic network test environment.
