The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has published a landmark technical report outlining a clear vision for integrating Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) as a complementary layer to Terrestrial Networks (TN), enhancing coverage and services for connected vehicles.

The report presents a comprehensive roadmap for NTN deployment, identifying key phases for narrowband, wideband, and broadband data rates. It also proposes specific antenna parameters for automotive NTN user equipment, optimising performance and cost-effectiveness. Key recommendations from the report include alignment with global mobile standards, deployment of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, and focus on optimising user terminal parameters and costs.

By integrating NTN connectivity, the automotive and telecommunications industries can work together to realise the vision of space-connected vehicles on our roads.

On 11 September, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host its workshop ‘Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards’ at the ETSI C-V2X Plugtests hosted by DEKRA with the support of the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

During this half-day workshop, 5GAA aims to convene key players in the C-V2X ecosystem. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions on the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards, offering insights into the future of C-V2X for the automotive industry. The technical agenda will highlight advancements in 5G-V2X Direct, ETSI Release 2 messages, and security.

With five presentations followed by an open discussion, ecosystem stakeholders will have the opportunity to discuss the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards – including Collective Perception Services (CPS) and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 16, 2024 – The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) welcomes the publication of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s updated V2X Deployment Plan and USDOT’s continuing commitment to the deployment of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications technologies on America’s roads.

The National V2X Deployment Plan outlines USDOT’s vision and specific milestones for the deployment of V2X. Cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology allows cars, trucks and other vehicles to send important safety alerts with one another, with road infrastructure and with vulnerable road users securely and in real-time, with two complementary transmission modes (direct and mobile network communications).

“Today’s release establishes clear objectives for future public and private investments in V2X in U.S. road transportation networks,” said John F. Kwant, Executive Director, Americas, for 5GAA. “V2X technologies are key to enabling the deployment of connected motor vehicles and roadside infrastructure that can sharply reduce road fatalities, a key goal of the National Road Safety Strategy. “  

Unlocking the full potential of V2X technologies requires as many road users, traffic signals and other traffic infrastructure as possible to be able to seamlessly communicate with one another and share information with a broader network. 5GAA believes that this requires the deployment to be nationwide, secure and interoperable, provide solutions for existing vehicles as well as new vehicles, and include interfaces for both C-V2X direct and network communications modes (cellular and non-terrestrial networks).
