Panel Discussion – Set the automotive industry in motion with 5G and vehicle-to-everything (V2X)

• Discover how 5G will enhance road safety with vehicle-to-vehicle communications whilst adhering to new government requirements

• Identify how 5G will truly enable the autonomous vehicle and the impact it will have on network infrastructure going forward

• Gain real understanding into the shift from vehicle-to-grid to V2X and the resulting opportunities which will arise

• Managing automotive data when everything is connected: where does ownership lie?

 

5G World will take place as a virtual event to deliver critical insights and enabling powerful connections between the full 5G ecosystem: service providers, vendors, enterprises, media and more to share insights, best practice and connect over 3 days.

With a refreshed virtual experience format, 5G World will deliver keynote presentations, panel discussions, and case studies from global operator leaders to help you understand learnings from 5G launches and to share best practices on technical deployments, 5G monetisation, enterprise 5G, network evolution and more. The unique 5G World Virtual Event Exhibition is an opportunity to explore the latest technology, meet with exhibitors, and view demos of products and services. It will be possible to connect with senior decision-makers from the telecom operator and enterprise community through enhanced networking provided by the event intelligent matchmaking service powered by AI.

5GAA CTO Maxime Flament will join the panel Don’t Drive Over the Edge: Connecting Vehicles with the Latest Technologies focused on:

Global update: autonomous vehicles

In this session, the Director-General Johannes Springer will provide listeners with a global update on when and how we will start to see this technology appear in our lives.

The CTO Maxime Flament is delivering a keynote speech on 5G and Smart Cities.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will participate in the European edition of the ITS World Congress and will be part, alongside its members, of the discussion with global stakeholders in the field of connected mobility. This year, the event will take place from 11 to 15 October 2021 in Hamburg and will allow to “Experience Future Mobility Now.”

ITS World Congress is the world’s largest and most prominent event focused on smart mobility and the digitalisation of transports. It aims to underline the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and raise awareness of smart mobility solutions among policy makers, experts, and the general public. It will be a great opportunity to present the latest developments in ITS and enjoy networking opportunities.

Smart mobility and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are crucial constitutive elements of 5GAA, as the association helps shape technological advances in the field. Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are the technologies associated with connected vehicles. These technologies, enabled by wireless transactions (V2X), would have a crucial impact on road safety and traffic efficiency. 5GAA supports the idea that 5G will be the ultimate platform to enable C-ITS and the provision of V2X.

5GAA and its members will be involved in different activities, and Maxime Flament, the association’s CTO, will contribute to the following panels:

-Ubiquitous 5G deployment for CCAM: observations and lessons learned
-Efficient communication networks for road and rail corridors
-The Age Of 5G – Enabling Future Mobility

Further details will come in the following weeks.
