CAPABILITIES
Four areas where the SDV automotive brief is most demanding, and what Accolade builds to answer each one.
AIS-140 is not a checkbox, it is an ongoing hardware commitment. Tamper-proof data transmission, GPS/GNSS accuracy standards, backup battery continuity, emergency alert, and data delivery to designated government servers must all be maintained across the life of the device. SamparkSync is AIS-140 certified and empanelled across 26+ states, with OTA firmware delivery ensuring compliance currency without depot visits.
Six GNSS constellations, IRNS, GPS, BEIDOU, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, ensure continuous positioning across urban corridors, mountain passes, and low-visibility environments. Network support spans 2G through 4G LTE CAT1, with a 5G-ready upgrade path and NTN satellite connectivity for remote and off-highway assets where terrestrial networks end.
Over-the-air firmware updates across thousands of deployed vehicles need to be cryptographically secure, not just convenient. Accolade's HSM-backed OTA architecture delivers updates via HTTPS with hardware-level key protection, ensuring every update that reaches a device is authenticated, integrity-verified, and installed without requiring the vehicle to return to a depot.
An 18-pin automotive connector, CAN 2.0 with a CAN-FD upgrade path, and support for TCP, MQTT, HTTPS, and FTP give OEM integration teams the interfaces and protocol flexibility they need, without forcing hardware-level compromises into the vehicle architecture. Production-line ready and field-validated.

| Compute | Centralised and zonal processing | HPC System · Zonal controller architecture |
| Vehicle OS | Automotive operating system foundation | Linux · AUTOSAR · FreeRTOS · Yocto |
| Middleware | Hardware abstraction and service layer | SDV Stacks · Automotive API integration |
| Security | Hardware and firmware integrity | HSM · Secure Boot · TLS 1.2 · ISO 21434 aligned |
| Intelligence | Edge decision-making | Hardware Prognostics Platform · Edge AI |
| Connectivity | Vehicle-to-cloud transport | 4G · 5G-ready · NTN upgradeable · TCP · MQTT · HTTPS |
| Cloud | Fleet management and delivery | SaaS Fleet Platform · OTA software updates · Lifecycle management |
COMPLIANCE
The standard governing automotive cybersecurity engineering across the vehicle lifecycle. Accolade's automotive software defined vehicle architecture is structured for ISO 21434 alignment, covering threat analysis, secure development, and incident response.
Every SDV hardware platform is manufactured at Accolade's certified facility in Pune.
The three-layer stack protecting ota software updates, device authentication, and firmware integrity across every deployed vehicle.
Where SDV platforms carry telematics or safety functions, Accolade's in-house AIS-140 and AIS-141 expertise ensures compliance is built in from the architecture stage, not qualified in afterwards.
