Traditional racing games have won the hearts of gamers with realistic physics engines and detailed track design. Nowadays, with the rapid development of 5G technology and the increasing popularity of e-sports, players are demanding more and more realism and immersion in the racing experience, and remote reality racing games are gradually coming into people's field of vision.

Innovate gameplay and lead the way in racing games

A few days ago, Polyptik, a well-known French game publisher, and Quectel launched the first long-range reality racing game for mobile devices - Vrombr. It is reported that the game is based on Quectel's RM520N-GL 5G module and RMU500EK evaluation board (EVB) kit, which not only realizes high-speed and low-latency communication, but also allows racers around the world to experience the fun of driving and controlling real cars on real tracks through their smartphones.

Different from traditional video racing games, remote reality racing games are deeply integrated with the real world, players can remotely control a scaled-down version of the real car through their smartphones, and race in real time on a real track designed to scale up, and enjoy the real racing experience.

It is worth mentioning that the Vrombr RC car equipped with Quectel 5G module has been unveiled at the showcase of several Polyptik partners, including O2/Telefonica in Germany, Orange in MWC Barcelona, VivaTech in Paris, and Deutsche Telekom in Berlin 5G EAP, demonstrating the great potential of 5G technology in the field of racing games while showcasing the innovation of racing games.

High speed and low latency enable a smooth gaming experience

In the process of running, the remote reality racing game needs to maintain a high speed and low latency of communication between the physical car and the player, which is inseparable from the blessing of 5G modules.

The RM520N-GL is a 3GPP R16-compliant 5G module launched by Quectel based on the Qualcomm X62 5G platform, with an M.2 package size of 52.0mm x 30.0mm x 2.3mm, supporting 5G SA and NSA modes, and has 3GPP R16 enhancements such as ultra-high bandwidth, millisecond latency, 5G network slicing, and high reliability. The RM520N-GL has a maximum downlink rate of 2.4 Gbps and a maximum uplink rate of 900 Mbps in a 5G SA network and a maximum downlink rate of 3.4 Gbps and a maximum uplink rate of 550 Mbps in a 5G NSA network, which is well suited to Vrombr's high-speed requirements.

Quectel RM520N-GL not only supports 5G networks, but is also backwards compatible with LTE-A, 3G and other network standards, which can help RC racing cars maintain network connectivity even in places where 5G networks are unstable or there is no 5G coverage, bringing gamers a smoother and more stable racing experience.

It is understood that the RM520N-GL has obtained a number of mandatory, conformance and operator certifications around the world, so with the empowerment of Quectel's 5G module, Vrombr players can enjoy a smooth gaming experience no matter where they are in the world.

Simplify terminal design and accelerate time to market

In addition to its excellent performance, Quectel RM520N-GL also integrates a GNSS receiver, which simplifies product design while improving the speed and accuracy of positioning, providing fast and accurate positioning services for long-range reality racing games. In addition, the module has a rich built-in network protocol, integrates PCIe 3.0, USB 3.1 high-speed interfaces, and supports a variety of driver and software functions, which is more convenient for the design of remote control racing cars.

At the same time, in the development process of the Vrombr RC racing car, in addition to the Quectel 5G module RM520N-GL to ensure high-speed and low-latency communication between the car and the player, in order to further reduce the size of the components, Polyptik also chose the Quectel RMU500EK Evaluation Version (EVB) kit, which has the ability to quickly set up and is very easy to use, which can help quickly deploy the Quectel 5G module RM520N-GL series, greatly simplifying the terminal design process。

In addition, Quectel also provided Polyptik with a full range of technical support to help solve the connection problems between the SIM card/modem and the network, etc., which injected sufficient impetus into the faster launch of Vrombr.

With the in-depth empowerment of 5G technology in thousands of industries, new applications such as remote reality have ushered in development opportunities, which not only bring unprecedented innovation to the field of game and entertainment, but also bring many surprises and convenience to our work and life. In the future, Quectel will continue to work with partners such as Polyptik to continuously empower the digital and intelligent development of thousands of industries through innovative products and solutions.
