DG Vehicle Networking Event at the Automotive Testing Expo

Take a break from the Automotive Testing Expo at Suburban Collection Showplace and join DG Technologies for our Annual Technology Showcase Hospitality Suite located in the attached Hyatt Place Hotel on October 23rd, 2019. DG Technologies will be located in the ‘Coral Room’ just outside the Exhibit Hall from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

This free open-house event will provide an exclusive advanced opportunity to see the latest product demonstrations and chat with experts in the field of vehicle network engineering over drinks and hors d’oeuvres. We want to talk with you about our ideas on how DG Technologies leveraged solutions can save you time and money with your testing efforts. See how to simultaneously transmit or record GNSS/GPS, video and vehicle network data for real-time or post processing analysis to support your test and simulation needs.

Let’s talk about DG Technologies solutions and how our partnerships with Softing Automotive, Spirent, Star Cooperation, and Synercon Technologies can bring advanced solutions to your development, diagnostic projects, and testing. DG Technologies experts will be on hand to demonstrate and discuss all of your data logging, EOL, Ethernet/ADAS, in-vehicle communication simulation, testing and more. In addition, it is strongly recommended to chat and learn about the dangers of using online technology and how to stay secure through Cybersecurity.

DG Technologies looks forward to talking with you on October 23rd, we hope to see you there!
