5GAA Tech Demos in Paris: 5GAA Brings First-Ever Satellite and 5G-V2X Direct Vehicle Connectivity to Life
In a global premiere in May 2025, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) demonstrated connected vehicles using non-terrestrial networks (NTN) complementing terrestrial 4G and 5G networks for emergency messaging. It also did the first on-the-road, live-traffic demonstration of 5G-V2X Direct technology capabilities for advanced connected-vehicle services and ready-to-deploy vehicle-to-network (V2N) technologies, which can improve road safety in real traffic conditions.
Missed the demos? No problem! Now you can see the replay of these advanced vehicle technologies! Watch the full video below to experience the demos in action!
5GAA-member vehicle manufacturers BMW Group and Stellantis and technology partners Anritsu, Cubic³, Deutsche Telekom, HARMAN, Jember, LG Electronics, Qualcomm Technologies, MediaTek, Rohde & Schwarz, Rolling Wireless, Skylo, VEDECOM Institute, and Viasat participated in the NTN satellite connectivity demonstrations. The demos focused on realising hazard warning and emergency messaging use cases in the vehicle as well as illustrating how NTN will complement terrestrial 4G and 5G networks in the future.
Demonstrations on public roads underlined how NTN can support ubiquitous automotive connectivity for connected services with seamless integration and switching between NTN and terrestrial networks to enable voice communication. In the future, car drivers may not even realise that satellite connectivity has replaced a terrestrial network. According to the 5GAA 2030 Roadmap, the initial market deployment of satellite connectivity in vehicles is expected by 2027 (based on IoT NTN 3GPP Release 17).
Anritsu, Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, and MediaTek complemented the NTN demonstrations with parallel test equipment measurements for performance verification.
For the first time on public roads, 5GAA member Valeo, in collaboration with Marben, demonstrated 5G-V2X Direct, in which two vehicles shared sensor data, triggering a warning of a pedestrian crossing at an obstructed intersection. This demonstration illustrated how 5G-V2X Direct (based on 3GPP Release 16) will enable vulnerable road users’ advanced protection by leveraging sensors and camera feeds from other vehicles to alert drivers, paving the way for smarter mobility. As per the 5GAA Visionary 2030 Roadmap, 5G-V2X is expected to be mass-deployed in commercial vehicle models starting from the time horizon 2026-2029.
The public road demonstrations continued with V2N technology for road users’ protection. 5GAA members, including Nokia, Orange, Stellantis, Valeo, and VEDECOM Institute, showcased interoperable V2X Platforms with vehicles, mobile applications and smart intersections (equipped with cameras and connected via the 5G networks) sharing collective perception to enhance road users’ safety.
Additionally, HARMAN and u-blox showcased Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL) near-real-time alerts to prevent hard braking events in line with the upcoming 2026 Euro NCAP local hazard warning requirements, and used precise positioning techniques to prevent false alerts.
5GAA members Rohde & Schwarz, S.E.A., Keysight and Orange also exhibited Next Generation Emergency Call (NG eCall) verification and network performance.
The event, hosted by Telecom-Paris, highlighted how 5GAA is driving the development of new standards for safety and innovation in automotive connectivity in Europe and globally.
