5GAA at MWC Barcelona 2024

This Technical Report (TR) covers Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) developments in China from 2022 to 2024. The TR explores ‘C-V2X policies and regulations in China’, ‘C-V2X standardisation in China’, and ‘C-V2X pilot and demonstration areas in China’. The results and conclusions of this report will effectively reinforce overall comprehension by 5GAA members of the state of play of V2X in China, and then provide more effective C-V2X solutions, which will affect the global development of the Internet of Vehicles.

Join us at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, taking place from March 3-6 at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, to explore the latest advancements in connected-vehicle technologies.

Many connected-vehicle services are becoming mission-critical. Customers want ubiquitous connectivity. Today it comes via the cellular networks, tomorrow also via satellite communications. Networks also need to be resilient, or available even under exceptional conditions such as disaster scenarios or periods of overwhelmingly high network usage.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) brings together leading players from the telecommunications, automotive, and technology industries to drive innovation in mobility. This year, At MWCB 2025, 5GAA members will showcase the latest connected vehicle technologies including ubiquitous, reliable, and low latency connectivity using cellular, NTN, multi-access edge computing, and C-V2X Direct.

Visit the 5GAA booth in Hall 6, Stand 6E64, and tour our members’ stands to see firsthand how we are shaping the future of mobility.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) to enhance global collaboration in integrating terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). The agreement was formalised during the Closing Ceremony of the 5GAA Meeting Week in Washington, D.C.

This strategic partnership establishes a framework for cooperation in key areas, including technological research and development, spectrum management, and the convergence of satellite and cellular networks. By leveraging 5GAA’s expertise in automotive connectivity and MSSA’s leadership in standards-based satellite networks, the collaboration aims to improve the reach, resilience, and efficiency of mobile connectivity for mobility and transportation applications.

The integration of NTNs with existing cellular networks is expected to play a crucial role in advancing connected and autonomous driving, enhancing road safety, and optimising intelligent traffic management. This partnership will also support the deployment of next-generation communication technologies such as Cellular Vehicle-To-Everything (C-V2X), essential for future mobility solutions.

Through this collaboration, 5GAA and MSSA will work together to share knowledge, coordinate technical and regulatory activities, and foster the development of innovative applications for both the automotive and broader mobile industries. The agreement highlight a shared commitment to scalable, standards-based solutions that address evolving global connectivity needs.

The 33rd 5GAA F2F Meeting Week will take place in Washington DC, between 3 – 6 February 2025.

On Monday 25 November (3-4 PM CET), the 5G Automotive Association is organising an online session on maximising the benefit of future satellite communications for the automotive industry.

The online session will focus on the recently published technical report which outlines a vision for integrating Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) as a complementary layer to Terrestrial Networks (TN), enhancing coverage and services for connected vehicles. The online session will also shed light on the report’s comprehensive roadmap for NTN deployment, identifying key phases for narrowband, wideband, and broadband data rate use cases.

Key recommendations around the necessary alignment of global mobile standards, deployment of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, and a focus on optimising user terminal parameters and costs will be reiterated and the potential of integrating NTN connectivity for the automotive and telecommunications industries will be discussed.
