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.

Washington, D.C., 6 February 2025 – For the first time, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and members of the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) have partnered to showcase the complementarity of Cellular Vehicle-To-Everything (C-V2X) direct and mobile network communications at the Federal Highway Administration’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. 

The live demonstrations illustrated the potential of connected-vehicle technologies to make American roads safer and more efficient. This public-private initiative also outlined the benefits of interworking communication modes for a unified transportation system.  

“5GAA commends USDOT for its leadership in advancing V2X technology through government-industry collaboration, critical for nationwide deployment,” said 5GAA Chairman Christopher Voigt. “We applaud USDOT’s commitment to seizing the full safety potential of V2X by integrating direct and mobile network communications to achieve 360° awareness.” 

Participants had the opportunity to experience several use cases: 

• Verizon showcased near real-time alerts enabled by C-V2X mobile network communications and mobile edge computing (MEC). Demonstrated capabilities included connected signalized intersection and delivery of pedestrian alerts, variable speed warnings, and weather warnings. 

• Audi, in collaboration with Spoke and the Coalition for Cyclist Safety, used C-V2X direct communications to address safety scenarios that often result in cyclist fatalities. The seamless integration of aftermarket solutions and in-vehicle systems is a clear example of leading automakers’ increasing interest in this technology. 

• Autotalks illustrated how C-V2X direct communications can prevent same-lane accidents: in their demo, a car swerved abruptly to avoid a stopped bicycle, showcasing the system’s potential to protect cyclists outside intersections. 

5GAA also gathered industry and government leaders to identify main drivers for deployment, such as the reauthorization of federal transportation funding. The event underpinned the critical role of C-V2X in achieving USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy targets, as well as the industry’s commitment to help implement the National V2X Deployment Plan released in August 2024.  

With this, the foundation is laid to leverage the existing tens of millions of connected road users and accelerate the nationwide rollout of connected-vehicle and connected-road infrastructure technologies, bringing us closer to the shared vision of zero traffic fatalities on American roads.

Intersections are a hotspot for traffic fatalities and injuries globally, with nearly a quarter of U.S. traffic fatalities and half of all injuries occurring in these high-risk areas. To address this, the 5GAA has developed a technical report on the ‘InterSafe Service,’ an approach leveraging infrastructure sensor-sharing to increase intersection safety for all road users, especially Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) like pedestrians and cyclists.

This report explores key use cases, system requirements, and deployment options for integrating Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies with infrastructure sensors. It outlines a framework for developing interoperable, standardised solutions that can operate efficiently within existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) spectrums. Crucially, the service is designed to deliver safety benefits even during the early stages of V2X adoption, when only a fraction of vehicles are equipped with these technologies.

The document also provides recommendations for global standards organisations, such as SAE International and ETSI, to expedite the development of system-level profiles. By fostering collaboration across stakeholders, the InterSafe Service has the potential to significantly reduce intersection-related incidents and accelerate the adoption of life-saving technologies worldwide.
