The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is proud to partner again with the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) and for the third ETSI C-V2X Plugtests™ event hosted by DEKRA at its Automobil Test Center in Klettwitz, Germany.

From 28 March to 1 April 2022, ETSI and DEKRA will enable On-Board-Unites (OBUs), Roadside-Units (RSUs) and public key infrastructure (PKIs) vendors to run interoperability test sessions to assess the level of interoperability of their implementation and validate the understanding of the standards.

Additionally, 5GAA organises a workshop on “C-V2X Interoperability and Deployment” to bring together some key players in the C-V2X deployment and interoperability ecosystem. The workshop will take place on Thursday 31 March, from 09:00 to 12:30 CEST at the Dekra Testing Site. The discussion will focus on the future of C-V2X for the automotive industries and the role of certification for the deployment of the technology.

Participants will also have the great opportunity to join live interoperability demonstration on DEKRA’s outside testing area and discover ETSI’s ITS Test Scenarios use cases showcased by various companies.

Interested in attending the C-V2X PlugtestsTM event? Registrations are open until 21 March. Due to the Covid restrictions, capacity on-site is limited.
