Valeo and Anritsu Corporation have announced a technology collaboration to advance groundbreaking virtual validation, an essential part of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) revolution. This collaboration will evolve software development for vehicle domains, including telematics units, into a cost-effective and future-proof process. Valeo and Anritsu will debut a joint demonstration at MWC2026 (March 2-5, 2026) in Barcelona, Spain.
The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, moving toward in-vehicle software-defined architectures. Cellular communications are becoming increasingly important in these architectures, connecting vehicles to cloud infrastructures to deliver continuous value to end users. This has led to a vast range of test parameters. Traditional workflows rely on hardware-based verification and manual parameter extraction, forcing design engineers to build complex test benches that simulate a wide range of operating conditions. As CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) cycles accelerate, a faster, more scalable, and automated model-based solution is essential.
Leveraging its expertise as a leading company in in-vehicle connectivity testing, Anritsu has integrated a virtual engine that reproduces field events into its software-based In-the-Loop Simulator, making it possible to build a digital twin environment on the cloud or a local machine for multi-networks, including Inter-MNO (a network topology spanning multiple telecommunications carriers), and vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications (V2N/V2X) that simulate multiple vehicles.

“Anritsu has been working to improve the quality of in-vehicle connectivity systems,” said Koji Ogawa, general manager of Anritsu’s IoT Test Solutions Division. “To ensure the stable operation of advanced connectivity services, it is essential to implement software that takes into account edge cases that occur in the real world. Anritsu addresses this challenge with a one-stop toolchain that covers everything from field driving tests to software simulation in the lab. Furthermore, by integrating with Valeo‘s software development solutions, automakers will be able to perform end-to-end verification, from in-vehicle systems to the backend, in a fully virtualized environment.”
