"&amp" - 5GAA

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) showcased how connected mobility services can operate at scale, presenting live demonstrations of real-time road-work safety on a Swedish highway, satellite connectivity, safety, and cooperative sensing at the AstaZero Proving Ground at RISE in Sweden.

“These demonstrations show how connected mobility and infrastructure technologies are progressing from testing to real‑world deployment,” said Christof Schmidt, Director General of 5GAA. “They offer a promising perspective for scaling these services across Europe.”

5GAA members Bosch and Cubic³ presented satellite-enabled commercial fleet management, showing how logistics and commercial vehicles can remain connected even outside terrestrial coverage. Technology partners Vedecom, Rolling Wireless, Rohde & Schwarz, Cubic³, Skylo and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. showed how emergency voice calls can be handled via satellite, ensuring drivers can reach assistance even in areas with limited coverage.

Road safety and coordinated traffic operations were another key focus. BMW, Bosch, and RISE demonstrated how live roadwork situations can be monitored in real time, allowing road operators to assess risk, adapt operations to protect workers and road users, and display hazard warnings to drivers. Building on this, Monotch showed how road-work warning data can be shared across country borders while maintaining data quality and governance. Vehicle-focused demonstrations by Ericsson, JOYNEXT, Vodafone and Qualcomm Technologies highlighted large-scale connectivity testing and interoperable V2X safety messaging. Qualcomm Technologies also demonstrated the concurrent reception of 5G-V2X and ITS-G5 messages on a single chipset.

Emergency communications demonstrations by Qualcomm Technologies and Rohde & Schwarz illustrated how hybrid eCall solutions maintain service continuity when network conditions change, and Anritsu and LG Electronics demonstrated an end-to-end hybrid eCall solution, verifying interoperability, network switching behaviour, and compliance with standards across multi-generation cellular networks.

The programme also featured two Bosch demonstrations. One, about cooperative sensing, showed how shared radar data from vehicles and infrastructure improves hazard detection in complex traffic situations. A second showed how real-time cloud-enhanced ADAS enables advanced road-sign recognition.

Together, the 5GAA Demonstrations underscore how connected mobility technologies are being applied in real-world traffic conditions and across borders, positioning the Nordic region as a reference point for scaling connected mobility across Europe.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), reinforcing their long-standing collaboration for 5G infrastructure deployment for mobility.

“This renewed agreement strengthens the bridge between current 5G deployment and the evolution towards 6G, ensuring that future networks are shaped by the needs of the automotive and mobility ecosystem from the outset. Working closely with 6G‑IA allows us to align innovation, trials, and standardisation with real deployment priorities,” said Christof Schmidt, Director General of the 5GAA.

“This agreement between the 5G Automotive Association and the 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association is vital to ensure that we maximise the impact of 5G technology and ensure that 6G technology is developed in a manner that takes the requirements of the automotive industry into account”, said Dr Colin Willcock, Chairman of the 6G-IA.
