1.1 Background and expected benefits of first-mount OBE It couldbe foreseen that in future the DSRC OBE will be delivered by carmanufacturer as a feature of the vehicle as they do today with carradio which are parts of the most sold vehicles. For the vehicleowner, the OBE supplier is the car manufacturer acting as an OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer).
