5GAA is organising the Special Interest Session “From data to deployment: accelerating CCAM and C-ITS through connectivity and collaboration”, as part of the ITS European Congress Technical Program on 27 April in Istanbul.

The session will take place on Monday, 27 April from 14.00 to 15.00 (local time).

Building on 5GAA’s 2025 Special Interest Session in Seville on the use of vehicle data for road operations and safety, the session will explore how connected and cooperative vehicle technologies are moving from data-driven pilots to large-scale CCAM and (C-)ITS deployment across Europe.

Speakers from the automotive sector Volkswagen’s Razvan Racu and AUMOVIO’s David Gonzalez Gonzalez, alongside European policymaker Erik Vrijens (Department of Vehicles and Digital Infrastructure, Netherlands), will showcase how cooperation across industries is turning connectivity into tangible societal benefits, from safer roads to more efficient transport networks.

The discussion will feature practical examples such as Safety-Related Traffic Information (SRTI) and Vulnerable Road User (VRU) protection, highlighting how these applications are being integrated into wider safety frameworks, including Euro NCAP’s roadmap.

The panel will also examine how advanced connectivity is enabling new mobility services — such as next-generation eCall and V2X-enabled tolling and payments — that make transport more user-centred, efficient, and responsive to citizens’ needs.

Register here and join us in Istanbul!

In collaboration with our local host, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, the 5GAA Conference “From the Nordics to Europe: Scaling Digital Transport Services Across Borders” will bring together national road authorities, infrastructure operators, municipalities, OEMs and technology partners to present the concrete deployment of digital transport systems across the Nordic region—complete with Live Technology Demonstrations in the afternoon.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gothenburg for this landmark event in C-V2X collaboration and global smart mobility.

The 37th 5GAA Meeting Week  will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden from 20–23 April 2026.

Our next gathering will bring together 5GAA members, partners, and key industry stakeholders to exchange insights, explore the latest advancements in connected mobility, and collaborate on shaping the future of C-V2X in North America and across the world.

5GAA Members, get ready to connect, collaborate, and innovate as we advance the future of mobility.

Sacramento, USA, February 5, 2026 – From satellite-enabled voice calls to automated connected vehicle tolling and real-time road hazard alerts, the future of connected mobility was on display as the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) brought next-generation vehicle connectivity technologies into real-world operations on U.S. roads.

5GAA hosted the Conference “Advancing Connected Mobility in California: C-V2X and Connected Vehicle Infrastructure,” which featured a keynote by Toks Omishakin, California’s 4^th Secretary of Transportation.

The demonstrations highlighted innovations in V2X tolling, non-terrestrial networks (NTN), and safety and awareness and brought together leading automakers, telecom operators, technology, and solution partners to showcase solutions in real-world environments.

“The Sacramento demonstrations represent an important milestone for connected mobility in the United States”, said 5GAA Chairman Christoph Voigt. “Seeing these technologies in action underscores how our members are delivering practical, interoperable solutions that enhance safety, connectivity, and mobility for drivers and communities”.

The live demonstrations showed how connected tolling can streamline travel. 5GAA members, including Audi, Autocrypt, Cohda Wireless, Ettifos, Indra, Microsec, Qualcomm, Valeo, Verizon, and Volkswagen, together with partners FHWA Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory (STOL), and Kapsch TrafficCom, demonstrated both Network C-V2X (Verizon’s Edge Transportation Exchange, MEC/5G solution integrating with STOL’s CV-MEC and Kapsch) and Direct C-V2X 5.9GHz-based tolling solutions (Audi, Indra, Cohda Wireless and Microsec in one demonstration, while Valeo showcased a solution integrated with CV-MEC and Kapsch). Vehicles approaching simulated toll zones securely exchanged information with roadside units and completed seamless transactions – illustrating how connected tolling can improve efficiency while supporting safer traffic flow.

The demonstrations also highlighted the power of connectivity beyond terrestrial networks. BMW, HARMAN, Qualcomm, Viasat and Fraunhofer showcased NTN satellite technologies, including a live bi-directional voice call over Narrowband IoT networks and satellite-enabled communications. These demonstrations illustrate how vehicles and connected devices can remain fully operational in remote areas, ensuring critical services are maintained even in difficult environments.

C-V2X enabled safety and awareness solutions technologies were another highlight, with HARMAN, Miovision and Qualcomm showing how connected vehicles can help drivers anticipate dangerous situations on the road.  The demonstrations included real-time traffic signal information and road hazard alerts, while AI-enabled roadside sensor systems shared information via Direct C-V2X about unequipped vehicles and other road users to support safety-critical services and improve protection of vulnerable road users

The Sacramento demonstrations underscore the association’s mission to accelerate the deployment of connected technologies, showing how future seamless connectivity is being accomplished today.

Shanghai, 23 October 2025 —  In Jiading, Shanghai, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and Shanghai International Automobile City (SIAC) co-hosted the “C-V2X Implementation in China and International Cooperation” Conference. The full-day event brought together global experts for high-level strategic discussions and live demonstrations, highlighting China’s rapid progress in C-V2X innovation while fostering dialogue across the international connected mobility ecosystem and showcasing the capabilities powered by 5G-Advanced (5G-A)

“The Shanghai conference and demonstrations highlighted China’s proactive role in advancing C-V2X technologies. It is particularly significant as it showcases leadership and innovation that drive progress across the entire global ecosystem,” said 5GAA Director General Christof Schmidt.

Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of cutting-edge C-V2X technologies. China IMT-2020（5G）Promotion Group C-V2X Working Group and SIAC presented the “Four Layers Demonstrations”, which included scenarios such as sudden cut-outs by preceding vehicles, work-zone alerts, and connected-assisted driving. These tests highlighted how advanced onboard units can receive real-time data from multiple vehicles ahead, enabling rapid adjustments and improving safety. Additionally, demonstrations also showcased how C-V2X enhances vehicle awareness under challenging weather conditions.

In parallel, SIAC, AUMOVIO and China Unicom showcased C-V2X vehicle networking applications based on 5G-A network. Leveraging the 5G-A network, cross-operator real-time sensor information sharing between vehicles and on-demand information distribution between vehicles and infrastructure are achieved. The system supports typical application scenarios such as front-object detection, blind spot communication, and emergency collaboration. With end-to-end latency below 20ms, it meets the stringent low latency and high reliability requirements of C-V2X applications.

“We are honoured to co-host this international forum with 5GAA,” said Gang Chen, Chairman of Shanghai International Automobile City. “As China’s first national pilot zone for intelligent and connected vehicles, SIAC is actively contributing China’s practical experience and fostering global industrial synergy through our deep involvement in prestigious international organisations such as 5GAA and VDA. We are committed to building an open, integrated, and globally influential industrial ecosystem, accelerating the alignment and mutual recognition of Chinese solutions with international standards, and sharing ‘China’s Wisdom’ and the ‘Shanghai Model’ with the world. We look forward to joining hands with global partners in pioneering a new chapter for intelligent and connected mobility,” he said.

The C-V2X Chinese Solutions and International Cooperation Conference marked a milestone in advancing global dialogue on connected mobility. By combining strategic discussions with practical demonstrations, the event reaffirmed the shared commitment of 5GAA and SIAC to driving forward C-V2X innovation and international cooperation.
