Multi Operator MEC Live Trial Turin 2021

Multi Operator MEC Live Trial Turin 2021

On 2 December, the City of Turin (Italy) hosted a live trial of new driver and pedestrian safety technology allowing near-real-time notification of roadway hazards through 5G-Edge networks. This trial is one of a series conducted internationally by a historic public-private collaboration over the next few years, organized by the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and eight member companies representing leading technology companies from around the globe.

5G transmission speeds and so-called “Edge” servers—locally installed, high-powered computers capable of running Artificial Intelligence programs—open the door to smart city technologies like near real-time traffic management and innumerable other business applications. The connected car concept uses this high-speed and Edge computing technology to communicate with car sensors and pedestrian smartphones, via a user-authorized mobile app—about traffic hazards, like accidents and road construction—to Pedestrian and in-vehicle driver safety and efficient navigation.

C-V2X continues to drive the automotive transformation and is now the new reality

C-V2X continues to drive the automotive transformation and is now the new reality

These past years have seen revolutionising digital transformations and challenging innovative mobility solutions. 5GAA keeps on shaping the new era of mobility and paves the way towards connected driving.

As individuals, in teams, and together with our members, we have embraced digital transformations as opportunities for transportation innovations. Today, we celebrate five years of intense activities, global cooperation, partnerships and demonstrations that resulted in remarkable achievements.

Our purpose is to develop end-to-end solutions for future mobility and transportation services for road safety, improved traffic efficiency, sustainable impact and more comfortable driving. While our purpose is not new, it is more relevant than ever. It reminds us that 5GAA exists to ensure future generations’ wellbeing in a safe and sustainable transportation ecosystem.

For five years, our vision has been guiding the association, gathering eight early co-founding members with the same ambition, and quickly bringing together more than 110 members from the automotive, technology, and telecommunications industry. This rapid expansion generated a genuinely global platform and connected community for cross-industry cooperation.

Members include 13 of the top fifteen global automakers and 9 of the top ten global mobile network operators. The exponential geographical reach of the association allows 5GAA to exert some influence on the connected driving stage. 5GAA is seen as a leader and enabler at a global level. It has successfully established C-V2X (cellular vehicle-to-everything) and 5G as the technology of choice in the market through numerous partnerships, bringing the expertise of manufacturers to develop 360-degree solutions for safer and more sustainable mobility. Thanks to these partnerships, 5GAA has established more than mobile broadband connectivity, integrating the multiple facets of connected mobility such as interoperability and standardisation.

People bring our purpose and vision to life. We have taken the future of mobility to a new level these past years, accelerating research and organising live demonstrations worldwide, which focused on interoperability tests. The Shanghai, Washington, Paris, Berlin and Turin demonstrations prove that a connected ecosystem holds the unlimited possibilities of investing in C-V2X and 5G. I also take this opportunity to thank our members for their hospitality and for showcasing these crucial innovations’ outstanding performance.

We have continued to stand firm on our purpose throughout the years, regularly positioning the association and sharing our members’ concerns with institutional bodies. Even though a set of challenges remains to be resolved, we hope to keep seamless exchanges with the institutional actors to unleash the potential of a connected ecosystem.

Today, I am proud to be part of an innovative and ambitious association that strives for a better future as it bridges cultural and technical differences. In this 5th-anniversary special publication, we have gathered some of the greatest stories of impact and success in relation to C-V2X in some regions, such as China and the US, as well as insightful interviews.

How to access different tenants in Microsoft Teams

If you are using Microsoft Teams in your professional environment, you will soon notice at the upper right part of the desktop app your organization name instead of your personal name.

To switch tenants, simply click on the drop-down menu.
You will find 5GAA – 5G Automotive Association e.V. (Guest).

If there are new activities, a notification badge will show up next to the 5GAA tenant name.
You may find it more productive to use your web browser to connect to the 5GAA environment and keep your desktop app connected on your professional environment.

If you prefer to use the desktop application, in our experience the environment takes a little longer before it appears as an organization you can connect to, sometimes a reboot may be required.

5GAA’s members have created a work-stream dedicated to addressing issues of interest and concern to the Infrastructure Owners-Operators and Road Authorities community.

With multiple engagement platforms and tailored content, US IOOs and the overall road infrastructure operators community can learn more about the superior safety benefits of C-V2X technology and engage with a growing ecosystem of telecom providers, chipset makers, and auto OEMs to identify synergies, opportunities, and potential business models to accelerate and streamline deployment of this life-saving technology.

Membership will allow 5GAA, road operators community to continue the productive conversations initiated e.g. with US IOOs during the C-V2X Workshop for North American Transportation Planning and North American Road Operators in Washington D.C (April 2018), where 5GAA presented a vision for a connected future (here) or European National Road Administrations (NRAs) and road infrastructure operators during a similar C-V2X Workshop and Demonstration in Paris, France (July 2018).
