AUDI AG, BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm Incorporated team up to evolve, test and promote communications solutions for connected mobility.

Next generation mobile networks will help to address society’s mobility and road safety needs with applications like connected infotainment features and connected automated driving.

The association is open to further partners.

Munich, September 27, 2016 – Today AUDI AG, BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm Incorporated, announce the formation of the “5G Automotive Association”.
The association will develop, test and promote communications solutions, support standardization and accelerate commercial availability and global market penetration. The goal is to address society’s connected mobility and road safety needs with applications such as connected automated driving, ubiquitous access to services and integration into smart cities and intelligent transportation.
With next generation 5G mobile networks and continued strong LTE evolution, which includes Cellular Vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication, the focus of information and communication technologies (ICT) shifts towards the Internet of Things and the digitalization of industries.
As an evolution to today’s networks, next generation mobile networks are expected to handle much more data volume, connect many more devices, significantly reduce latency and bring new levels of reliability. For example, 5G can better support mission-critical communications for safer driving and will further support enhanced vehicle-to-everything communications and connected mobility solutions.
These new solutions bring new technological and business opportunities for both the automotive and ICT industries, and the members of the association will closely collaborate to realize the full potential together. The association will address key technical and regulatory issues, leveraging next generation mobile networks and integrating vehicle platforms with connectivity, networking and computing solutions. The main activities of the association include:

• Defining and harmonizing use cases, technical requirements and implementation strategies.
• Supporting standardization and regulatory bodies, certification and approval processes.
• Addressing vehicle-to-everything technology requirements, such as wireless connectivity, security, privacy, authentication, distributed cloud architectures and more.
• Running joint innovation and development projects leading to integrated solutions, interoperability testing, large scale pilots and trial deployments.

The 5G Automotive Association is a global association and welcomes more partners who are engaged in the automotive industry, the ICT industry or the broader eco-system and value chain for vehicle and road transportation systems. Several companies have already expressed strong support for the 5GAA and declared their intent to join the Association in the near future.

Christoph Voigt is appointed Chairperson of the Board and Dino Flore is appointed Director General of the Association.

The Association will support and work in close cooperation with national and regional initiatives, such as the European Connected & Automated Driving Pre-Deployment Project.

The 5G Automotive Association is proud to announce that it will participate in CES 2019 as a partner. As such 5GAA will have a stand in the Allied Association Lounge in order to meet with key mobility stakeholders and present the association’s activities and progress.

CES® is the largest and most influential technology event on the planet, where industry leaders and rising stars come together. With 4,500 exhibiting companies—including more than 1,200 startups—it’s the proving ground for new innovations.It’s all ready for you, if you’re CES ready. CES.tech/register

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has the pleasure to announce its Conference on 6 February in Brussels.

This event is intended to advance the dialogue between high-level institutional and industry stakeholders on current challenges in the field of connected and automated mobility. Representatives from the European institutions, from local and national authorities, and 5GAA members will discuss ongoing challenges for connected and automated mobility and provide solutions by presenting the capabilities and deployment models of the Cellular Vehicle to Everything (“C-V2X”) technology.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will participate in the European edition of the ITS World Congress and will be part, alongside its members, of the discussion with global stakeholders in the field of connected mobility. This year, the event will take place from 11 to 15 October 2021 in Hamburg and will allow to “Experience Future Mobility Now.”

ITS World Congress is the world’s largest and most prominent event focused on smart mobility and the digitalisation of transports. It aims to underline the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and raise awareness of smart mobility solutions among policy makers, experts, and the general public. It will be a great opportunity to present the latest developments in ITS and enjoy networking opportunities.

Smart mobility and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are crucial constitutive elements of 5GAA, as the association helps shape technological advances in the field. Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are the technologies associated with connected vehicles. These technologies, enabled by wireless transactions (V2X), would have a crucial impact on road safety and traffic efficiency. 5GAA supports the idea that 5G will be the ultimate platform to enable C-ITS and the provision of V2X.

5GAA and its members will be involved in different activities, and Maxime Flament, the association’s CTO, will contribute to the following panels:

-Ubiquitous 5G deployment for CCAM: observations and lessons learned
-Efficient communication networks for road and rail corridors
-The Age Of 5G – Enabling Future Mobility

Further details will come in the following weeks.

 

 

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will participate in the IAA Mobility Conference 2021 that will take place from 7 to 12 September in Munich. IAA Mobility is the leading global platform for the mobility industry and brings together actors from the entire mobility chain.

Following the guiding theme “What will move us next” the discussion will focus on how automation, connectivity, and smart city solutions will drive our progression to a more sustainable and effective mobility.

The event will provide an excellent platform to discuss the future of mobility with relevant stakeholders of the transport ecosystem.

5GAA will be active at two occasions:

9 September 2021 10.30 AM CEST

5GAA will hold a Master Class session. A great opportunity to engage in cross-industry exchange, present our expertise in an educational format, and discuss last updates and automated mobility by demonstrating the capabilities and deployment models of the Cellular Vehicle to Everything (“C-V2X”) technology.

10 September 2021, 11.45 AM CEST

5GAA will be present with its own Speaker Corner in the Business Club House, located in the central area of the exhibition. During 90 minutes our association and its members will have the opportunity to have speakers discuss the latest topics on connected mobility, as well as enjoy networking opportunities.
