These past years have seen revolutionising digital transformations and challenging innovative mobility solutions. 5GAA keeps on shaping the new era of mobility and paves the way towards connected driving.

As individuals, in teams, and together with our members, we have embraced digital transformations as opportunities for transportation innovations. Today, we celebrate five years of intense activities, global cooperation, partnerships and demonstrations that resulted in remarkable achievements.

Our purpose is to develop end-to-end solutions for future mobility and transportation services for road safety, improved traffic efficiency, sustainable impact and more comfortable driving. While our purpose is not new, it is more relevant than ever. It reminds us that 5GAA exists to ensure future generations’ wellbeing in a safe and sustainable transportation ecosystem.

For five years, our vision has been guiding the association, gathering eight early co-founding members with the same ambition, and quickly bringing together more than 110 members from the automotive, technology, and telecommunications industry. This rapid expansion generated a genuinely global platform and connected community for cross-industry cooperation.

Members include 13 of the top fifteen global automakers and 9 of the top ten global mobile network operators. The exponential geographical reach of the association allows 5GAA to exert some influence on the connected driving stage. 5GAA is seen as a leader and enabler at a global level. It has successfully established C-V2X (cellular vehicle-to-everything) and 5G as the technology of choice in the market through numerous partnerships, bringing the expertise of manufacturers to develop 360-degree solutions for safer and more sustainable mobility. Thanks to these partnerships, 5GAA has established more than mobile broadband connectivity, integrating the multiple facets of connected mobility such as interoperability and standardisation.

People bring our purpose and vision to life. We have taken the future of mobility to a new level these past years, accelerating research and organising live demonstrations worldwide, which focused on interoperability tests. The Shanghai, Washington, Paris, Berlin and Turin demonstrations prove that a connected ecosystem holds the unlimited possibilities of investing in C-V2X and 5G. I also take this opportunity to thank our members for their hospitality and for showcasing these crucial innovations’ outstanding performance.

We have continued to stand firm on our purpose throughout the years, regularly positioning the association and sharing our members’ concerns with institutional bodies. Even though a set of challenges remains to be resolved, we hope to keep seamless exchanges with the institutional actors to unleash the potential of a connected ecosystem.

Today, I am proud to be part of an innovative and ambitious association that strives for a better future as it bridges cultural and technical differences. In this 5th-anniversary special publication, we have gathered some of the greatest stories of impact and success in relation to C-V2X in some regions, such as China and the US, as well as insightful interviews.

The 21st 5GAA Virtual Meeting Week will take place online from 14-21 February 2022.
