The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) releases the 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) on Roads

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) welcomes the publication of the 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for Connected and Automated Mobility on Roads (5G SDA for CAM). The 5G SDA for CAM provides guidance to stakeholders involved in the deployment and use of 5G for CAM systems on roads. This rich and diversified ecosystem includes mobile network operators, tower companies, telecom vendors, road operators, as well as vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and their tier1/tier2 automotive suppliers.   

The SDA outlines the implementation strategy for the deployment of 5G connectivity infrastructures along the major European road transport networks (TEN-T corridors), or “5G corridors”,enabling advanced CAM use cases and 5G commercial services with uninterrupted coverage and seamless service provision at border crossing areas. 

Further guidance is provided on investment, definition of cooperation models and deployment roadmaps that will facilitate the roll-out of six service categories: Road CAM services, Logistics, Digital Twins, Connected Passenger Services, Software-defined Vehicles and Associated vertical services. 

Approved by the SNS JU Governing Board, the 5G SDA for CAM on roads aligns with the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) mission to coordinate pan-European 5G corridors and guide the second Connected Europe Facility programme, Digital Part (CEF2 Digital).  

In that respect, the5G SDA builds on best practices and lessons learnt from the first waves of 5G corridor deployment projects co-funded under the second Connecting Europe Facility programme, Digital Part (CEF Digital), between 2022 and 2025, involving 31 works and study projects.  Download the 5GSDA for CAM on roads here.

Meet the Sponsor of the 5GAA Meeting Week

We are pleased to share that our 5GAA members, Verizon Business & Skylo, will be sponsoring the Coffee Breaks at our 36th Meeting Week in Sacramento. This sponsorship provides members with an enhanced opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and build relationships in a relaxed and collaborative setting. 

The rapid digitalisation of the automotive and mobility sectors has made the way we think about “data” increasingly important. Around the world, governments, industry consortia, and technology providers are developing frameworks known as “dataspaces” to manage and share data across sectors. Yet, for connected vehicles and intelligent transport systems, data alone is not enough: what matters is transforming raw data into meaningful, contextualised information that can be delivered where and when it is needed.

In the following paper, 5GAA aims to clarify the preferred conceptual approach that the automotive industry would like to take when it comes to dataspaces and their evolution toward “Information Networks”. More specifically, this short paper will detail the language that should be used, the different types of operations and the impact that these have, including best practices, as well as the commonalities and regional differences.

These discussions are not new within 5GAA, and the scope of this paper is global and does not prioritise any one region or country, but instead is designed to provide 5GAA and its members with a clear message that can be easily communicated to the relevant international organisations, ministries, regulators, and policymakers from across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.

Connected and Automated Vehicles are expected to make critical decisions based on data from external sources, yet current approaches to security and safety do not address a fundamental question: How much can the content of this data be trusted?

This White Paper tackles this largely unsolved problem by introducing a dynamic trust assessment framework centred on Actual Trustworthiness Level and Required Trustworthiness Level – metrics that quantify the residual uncertainty about whether external data or system behavior can be trusted based on available evidence and how much trust is needed to meet the operational and safety requirements of the current context. This methodology is intentionally designed to be generic, allowing for different implementations that adapt to evolving operational and organizational contexts. A detailed Automated Emergency Braking use case illustrates how the methodology can be instantiated in a real-world scenario.

The Paper concludes by identifying open standardization gaps and proposing directions for future harmonization of trust assessment in cooperative and connected mobility ecosystems.

The 5G Automotive Association is organising the online session “Securing North American V2X Deployments: Introducing the 5GAA SCMS Certificate Policy”.

• Date & Time:  Tuesday, 9 September 2025
• Location: 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am EDT / 5:00 pm CEST

As connected vehicle and smart transportation deployments begin to take shape across the US and Canada, trust and security in C-V2X communications are becoming foundational to enabling a wide range of applications.

Experts from 5GAA, BMW Group, Qualcomm, and Microsec V2X PKI Inc. are joining this online session to present:

• How C-V2X communications can enhance road safety, support connected and automated mobility, and enable future transportation services, including the critical role of security in ensuring these capabilities function.
• The technical architecture and operational model of SCMS Certificate Policy, and how the policy enables secure V2I message exchange across public and private deployments, facilitates cross-OEM interoperability, and fosters a competitive ecosystem of SCMS providers and vehicle platforms.

If you are interested, you can register here.

Meet the Speakers

• Joachim Göthel, Senior Manager E/E-Systems & 5G Alliance, BMW Group, & Founding Board Member, 5GAA
• William Whyte, Senior Director, Technical Standards, Qualcomm
• Peter Lorinczy, Technical Solutions Lead, Microsec V2X PKI Inc.

Agenda

• Opening Remarks: BMW Perspective on V2X Momentum and Security Foundations (Joachim Göthel)
• Technical Deep Dive: SCMS Certificate Policy, Interoperability and Ecosystem Enablement (William Whyte & Peter Lorinczy)
• Q&A

Motivations for C-V2X include augmenting automated vehicles with non-line-of-sight awareness and cooperative intention sharing, supporting V2X-based tolling over the 5.9 GHz ITS spectrum, enhancing road safety and protection of vulnerable road users (VRUs), and improving traffic efficiency. V2X messages—such as Basic Safety Messages (BSMs), Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT), and Cooperative Perception Messages (CPMs)—require robust security to ensure message integrity and authenticity.

These messages unlock a variety of use cases that depend on trusted and anonymous communications between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users.

To support these needs, 5GAA has released its SCMS Certificate Policy, a set of rules tailored to the North American ecosystem. Developed by 5GAA Working Group 7 on Cybersecurity, the policy reflects input from automakers, suppliers, semiconductor leaders, PKI providers, telecom infrastructure vendors, and broader industry stakeholders—including feedback from transportation agencies and industry organisations.

Whether you are a policymaker, technology developer, or part of the transportation ecosystem, this is your opportunity to connect with these industry leaders and better understand the security foundations of North American C-V2X deployments.
