5G Automotive Association is pleased to invite you to our online session, “Global MEC technology to support automotive services“, taking place on April 4th from 4:00 to 5:30 PM (CET).

The 5GAA approach to MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) technology for automotive services follows car industry needs to consider multi-operator, multiple car maker, and multi-vendor scenarios. 

In order to support global MEC deployments, 5GAA started working since 2019 on this area by targeting live trials to easily demonstrate MEC applications and use cases in those scenarios of interest (MEC4AUTO approach). 

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the many recent activities in this field, including architectural insights inspired by live trials implementations with 5G networks, interoperability and testing aspects, business and market considerations, but also technology aspects, standardization impacts, usage of edge predictive analytics, network slicing and cybersecurity aspects for the targeted scenarios. 

Attendants of the webinar will get an updated view of real-life issues related to global MEC deployments, both from technical and business perspectives, together with an anticipation of future 5GAA activities in this field.

Recently, a delegation from 5GAA travelled to China, seizing the opportunity to enhance collaborations with Chinese members and gain insights into the latest advancements in C-V2X deployment.

A highlight of the trip was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Chinese Institute of Communications (CIC). This agreement aims to propel 5G technology forward in the automotive sector.

This strategic partnership is set to drive innovation, shape global standards, and initiate pilot projects for 5G-enabled automotive solutions.

5GAA to hold a session at ITS America Conference & Expo 2023 in Texas.

ITS America is a premier event that brings together decision-makers and their supporting teams from public and private sector transportation agencies to learn about the implementation of new technologies and solutions that will enable a safer, greener, and smarter transportation system, at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas, Texas, April 24-27, 2023.  ​

ITS America Conference & Expo allows the smart mobility community to come together to explore the deployment of intelligent transportation technologies that saves lives, improves mobility, promotes sustainability, and increases efficiency and productivity.​

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is proud to be a Partner in the event, bringing together key actors of the mobility ecosystem and leading the field of connected mobility. 5GAA is thrilled to attend this 2023 edition, having the opportunity to discover innovative technology advances and network again with mobile and tech industry influencers.

In this edition, 5GAA will be holding a session on connected mobility.

5GAA welcomes the renewed attention and subsequent discussions on Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) and the legacy fleet, following the second phase of the IDIADA study, presented on 12 December 2023. Whilst the opportunity to address the critical issue of the legacy fleet is welcome, we wish to draw attention to some key industry concerns.

In this position paper, we underline that industry cannot be held liable for the lack of service continuity of 112-based eCall for the legacy fleet, which result from obsolete legislative requirements. Since both retrofit as well as the extension of 2G/3G networks are implausible, we call for public authorities to take responsibility in informing users in the event of eCall failure, in instances outside industry control. We also encourage further research to be carried out to revise the current eCall regulatory framework so that it becomes future proof and does not lead to the same situation in the future as we have now once NG eCall becomes obsolete, or 4G networks are being transitioned to other technologies. This should be based on a transparent dialogue between authorities and industry to find the right solution.

On 24 October, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) announced a significant partnership to drive innovation in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology. By signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two organisations aim to harness the power of edge computing to enhance vehicle connectivity.

This collaboration is a crucial step towards realising the full potential of 5G and edge computing in the automotive industry. The partnership will focus on multi-access edge computing (MEC) and network APIs.

By combining their expertise and resources, the 5GAA and AECC will work together to:

• Advance V2X technology: Drive the development of cutting-edge V2X solutions, such as cooperative adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems, and traffic management.
• Accelerate deployment: Facilitate the rapid deployment of V2X infrastructure and services, paving the way for a more connected and intelligent transportation ecosystem.
• Improve safety: Enhance road safety by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and with infrastructure, reducing the risk of accidents.
• Optimise traffic flow: Optimise traffic flow and reduce congestion through real-time data exchange and intelligent traffic management systems.

Johannes Springer, Director General of the 5GAA, and Muriel Desaeger, member of the AECC, expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership. To learn more about it and its potential impact on the future of mobility, watch their interview with TelecomTV here.
