5GAA to organise a first-ever C-V2X Plugtests™ event with ETSI, 02-06 December, Malaga (Spain)

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is proud to be a partner of the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) in the first C-V2X-only Plugtests™ event, to take place in Malaga, Spain, from 02 to 06 December 2019. This interoperability test is being held with the support of the European Commission and hosted by DEKRA, member of 5GAA, in its Connected Vehicle Test Development Centre, where trials will be carried out both in lab and field environments.

Plugtests™ represent an important tool to allow vendors to evaluate the interoperability of their systems and provide precious feedback to independent experts in order to improve the standard-making process. Moreover, this event is a further milestone in the cooperation between 5GAA and DEKRA, a leader in automotive safety testing, that already had the chance to collaborate during a previous plugfest in April 2019.

On 04 December, an ETSI-5GAA Plugtests™ conference is scheduled, focused on nowadays achievements and challenges in the connected automotive sector, to offer the audience a complete update on the opportunities and implementation models of C-V2X technology.

Registrations are open until 15 November. For any further information, please consult the official event page.

5GAA Meets Turin 2019: Face-to-Face Meeting and Conference

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has the pleasure to announce “The 5G Path of Vehicle-to-Everything Communication: From Local to Global” Conference, Live Demonstrations and Press Event on 14 November 2019 in Turin, Italy.

Conference | Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile

The conference aims at fostering the dialogue between high-level institutional and industry stakeholders on current challenges in the field of connected and automated mobility and provide solutions by presenting the capabilities and deployment models of the C-V2X technology. For this edition, we are glad to announce that we will be welcoming top profiles such as Prof. Vito Mauro, Italian Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Elisabetta Romano, TIM CTIO, as well as Paola Pisano, Italian Minister for Innovation and Digitalisation.

Live Demonstrations | Lingotto & Open Roads

In the afternoon, conference participants will have the opportunity to join a demonstration of C-V2X technology scenarios organised by 5GAA members Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Audi, Marelli, TIM (Telecom Italia), Vodafone and Ericsson, who will showcase the current state of C-V2X and the future of 5G technology.

Press Event | Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile

As an independent side event to the conference, 5GAA is organising a press gathering with a select group of journalists for them to witness key technology capabilities during six live demos taking place in the streets of Turin and on the Lingotto track. The press demonstrations will showcase how C-V2X is poised to offer significant improvements in road safety and how it will support future autonomous vehicles, lessen traffic congestion and reduce CO2 emissions.

5GAA to be main supporting partner of 5G Techritory – Riga, 27-29 November 2019

5GAA to be main supporting partner of 5G Techritory – Riga, 27-29 November 2019

5G Techritory is the annual Baltic Sea Region 5G Ecosystem Forum organised by the Electronic Communications Office (ECO) of Latvia, aiming at gathering decision makers, major representatives from industry associations, and business leaders to discuss the deployment of the earliest available commercial applications of 5G technology. Its second edition is going to be held in the Latvian capital, Riga, on 27-29 November.

Taking place in a vibrant region for 5G implementation, the 5G Automotive Association is proud to be confirmed once again as one of the main partners of this conference. 5GAA Director General Johannes Springer is going to participate as a speaker in front of an audience of up to a thousand senior professionals invited upon an attentive selection to ensure the highest quality of debate.

The Baltic Sea Region includes nine countries comprising of a population of 150 million people. Among the Baltic countries, Latvia appears in the third place of the 5G Readiness ranking according to the European Commission’s Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2019 report. This result shows that the potential for international leadership in the field is highly promising and this edition has all the characteristics to be a must-visit, given the renewed interest for digital and technology of the newly appointed European Commission.

Since the objective of the programme is to focus on what is readier for commercialisation, four verticals have been identified as the main topics:

  • Smart City
  • Smart Mobility
  • Industry 4.0
  • Smart Media and Entertainment

In addition, a 5G policy hackathon, a key stakeholders’ roundtable and an exhibition are scheduled as side events.

Registration is open and all the possible interested participants are encouraged to apply.
