5GAA Members to Demonstrate Latest C-V2X Tech in Berlin
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host a technology demonstration event in Berlin on 24 October, showcasing the potential of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology to redefine mobility across Europe. The event will take place with 5GAA members, leaders from the automotive, telecommunications and technology sectors; it will feature over 10 indoor and outdoor demonstrations that address both critical safety and advanced applications.
C-V2X leverages cellular networks to connect vehicles with each other, infrastructure, and pedestrians, aiming to enhance safety and convenience on the roads. This technology has gained momentum globally, with favourable legislative frameworks in Europe, the U.S. and beyond, and commitment from automakers. This signifies a robust ecosystem that is ready to leverage a huge amount of already existing connected vehicles and deploying further C-V2X solutions at scale.
In countries like Germany, traffic accidents remain a significant concern, with the country alone recording 2.5 million incidents in 2023 and pedestrian safety a growing issue. It is also estimated that up to 40% of traffic in German urban centres stems from drivers searching for parking. C-V2X is positioned to address these challenges.
The Berlin demo event will build upon the 5GAA demonstrations held last year in Detroit, which revolved around vulnerable road user protection. This year, the focus will shift to showcasing similar and new use cases in a European environment, utilising existing European mobile infrastructure.
The event will be preceded by the 5GAA conference titled “Scaling Up Connected Mobility: What’s Next for Germany and Europe?” This combined event offers a unique platform for attendees to engage with industry leaders and stakeholders.

5GAA celebrates 5 years
Celebrating 5 years of digital transformations
and innovative mobility solutions
meeting today’s challenges.
5GAA leverages today’s and tomorrow’s mobility solutions
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 1.25 million road traffic fatalities worldwide in 2013, with another 20–50 million injured or disabled through traffic accidents. Vehicles sharing information make transportation safer, greener, and more enjoyable are at our doorstep. The technologies associated with this concept are collectively known as Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS). The impact on road safety alone is sufficiently significant to make C-ITS a priority.

Connected mobility
5G-V2X onward
5G technologies are the next generation of wireless networks. It is key to transmitting more extensive amounts of data more reliably, with lower latency and at faster speeds than ever before.
C-V2X is the next generation telematics that can support new automotive deployments and build a new transportation ecosystem for the future.
The C-V2X technology is already available but to support the autonomous vehicles of tomorrow, the technology must evolve to meet more demanding safety requirements. 5G will facilitate this evolution. Its extreme throughput, low latency, and enhanced reliability will allow vehicles to share rich, real-time data, supporting fully autonomous driving experiences.
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is shaping the path to 5G by supporting C-V2X, as well as working to deliver innovations in on-device intelligence and integration in connected vehicles. The 5GAA is confident that a technically superior standards-based cost-effective and scalable access technology from the cellular industry will carry C-ITS and Connected Vehicle applications well into the 5G era and beyond.
Supporting Innovation: C-V2X Use Cases
Under its current Work Programme, 5GAA seeks to leverage today and tomorrow’s innovative C-V2X solutions
for a safer, greener and more efficient transportation system, benefiting all road users.
Our Roadmap for Advanced Driving Use Cases and Connectivity Technologies

Connected mobility
C-V2X in action
Immerse yourself in the possibilities
The C-V2X technology revolutionises the mobility ecosystem and how drivers interact with the world. It is essential to redefine transportation by providing real-time, highly reliable, and actionable information flows to enable safety, mobility and environmental applications.
5GAA established C-V2X as the critical technology to achieve the level of connectivity required for V2X communication and to be a disruptive force in the automotive market.
C-V2X Testing and Deployment
Following extensive validation testing, off-the-shelf LTE-V2X chipsets, modules, On-Board Units (OBU) and RSU (Roadside Units) have been globally available from multiple vendors since 2018.
These devices feature LTE-V2X direct communications (PC5) and LTE-V2X mobile network communications (Uu). The latest generation of devices features 5G-V2X mobile network communications (Uu) based on 3GPP Release 15.
5GAA regularly compiles an overview of the C-V2X Devices, which we understand are already publicly available on the market (the latest issue in November 2021). This overview is based on publicly available information and does not necessarily include factory-fit telematics/V2X boxes directly under contract with automakers.
The start of in-vehicle commercial deployment (i.e. type-approved vehicles) has begun in 2020-2021. A significant testing schedule is already underway for 5G-V2X, the next generation for cellular technology-based communications solutions, with more than 20 trials and early deployments globally.

5GAA Supports the 3GPP 2nd 5G Vertical User Workshop
Following the first session held in Brussels on 12-13 February 2019, 5GAA returned to the second 5G Vertical User Workshop, which was in Rome on 9-10 July 2019. This initiative, launched by 3GPP Market Representative Partners (5GAA, 5G-IA, 5G-ACIA and PSCE) was organised as a collaborative event for strategic dialogue between vertical industries (technology, automotive and transport, health and public safety ) and 3GPP by exchanging on future needs and upcoming cellular standard developments.
5G networks are intended to bring a new innovative ecosystem, where actors from the vertical industries will be involved alongside the telecom operators, manufacturers, SMEs and research institutes. There is an increasing need to involve this wider range of industries to optimally capture end-user requirements and contribute to the 3GPP standardisation process. The working groups of 3GPP operate on a bottom-up basis focusing on partners contributions. As such, 3GPP notably benefits from further developing the role and usefulness of 5G vertical industries as Market Representation Partners.
The agenda for the 2nd 5G Vertical Users Workshop can be found here. The Workshop focused on 5G vertical technical viewpoints, common requirements and common interests with lively interactive discussions. 5GAA members Huawei, Nokia and Orange supported the workshop. The 5GAA CTO, Maxime Flament, had seized the opportunity to address:
- The 5GAA vision for 3GPP rel-17 as part of C-V2X and intelligent transport systems (available here)
- Predictive QoS, an innovative mechanism to provide in-advance QoS notifications from the network to the V2X application (available here)
5GAA enthusiastically supports the initiative and to enhance collaboration with partners such as 5G-IA, 5G-ACIA and PSCE.
