5.9 GHz Second Report and Order: Frequently Asked Questions

5.9 GHz Second Report and Order: Frequently Asked Questions

To support the transportation community in navigating the FCC’s Second Report and Order on the 5.9 GHz band, 5GAA has published a comprehensive FAQ document. This resource provides detailed guidance on the transition to Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology and the final operational rules by outlining key regulatory changes, technical specifications, and compliance timelines—addressing topics such as equipment authorization, licensing requirements for Onboard Units (OBUs) and Roadside Units (RSUs) and channelization standards. The document also includes step-by-step appendices for obtaining equipment authorization and RSU licensing.

Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards

Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards

In partnership with 5GAA and with the support of the European Commission and European Free Trade Association, DEKRA is hosting the 4th ETSI C-V2X Plugtests™ event at Parque Tecnológico in Málaga, Spain from 10-13 September.

During the week, ETSI and DEKRA will enable On-Board-Units (OBUs), Roadside-Units (RSUs) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKIs) vendors to run interoperability test sessions to assess the level of interoperability of their implementation and validate the understanding of the standards. This edition of the Plugtests will focus on direct communication between devices using ETSI TC ITS Release 2 standards, including Collective Perception Services (CPS) and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).

5GAA will organise a half-day workshop on 11 September to bring together some key players in the C-V2X ecosystem and discuss the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards. The speakers will provide insights on the future of C-V2X for the automotive industries, while the workshop’s technical agenda will demonstrate progress made on 5G-V2X Direct, ETSI Release 2 messages and security.

Official Announcement: 5GAA Members and USDOT Partner for Live C-V2X Demonstrations

Official Announcement: 5GAA Members and USDOT Partner for Live C-V2X Demonstrations

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is pleased to support a joint demonstration of  Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and several 5GAA members.  

The event will take place on February 5-6 at the Federal Highway Administration’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

In partnership with 5GAA members Audi, Verizon and Autotalks, these live demonstrations will underscore the potential of C-V2X technology to protect all road users, improve traffic flow, and create a more unified transportation system. Participants will also witness how C-V2X direct and mobile network communications complement each other, with the potential to enable 360° awareness. 

This marks the first dedicated event of its kind and reaffirms the commitment from industry to support the USDOT in deploying lifesaving V2X technologies. The insights gathered from these demonstrations, as well as from 5GAA’s conference and concurrent roundtables, will inform the path forward for nationwide deployment. 

5GAA welcomes this opportunity to work alongside USDOT and key stakeholders, laying the groundwork for continued collaboration to drive innovation and accelerate mass-market adoption of C-V2X for safer, smarter mobility across the United States. 

5GAA online session on V2N2X: Architecture, Solution Blueprint, Use Case Implementation Examples & Business Perspectives

5GAA online session on V2N2X: Architecture, Solution Blueprint, Use Case Implementation Examples & Business Perspectives

In January 2024, 5GAA published the white paper “Road Traffic Operation in a Digital Age: A Holistic Cross-Stakeholder Approach”. The white paper proposes a transformative approach for automotive stakeholders, emphasising a scalable digital data exchange and a federated architecture to manage road traffic information efficiently. It outlines a data sharing and deployment architecture for road traffic management information in a digital twin structure.

This white paper has now been complemented with two Technical Reports (TRs), providing additional technical details, deployment options, reference implementations and business aspects. The online session will provide valuable insights into both reports.

A 5GAA online session on the V2N2X topic and reports took place on 18 June 2024. The recording of the online session can be accessed here. The slides of the presentation can be accessed here.

Friends of 5GAA

5GAA’s members have created a work-stream dedicated to addressing issues of interest and concern to the Infrastructure Owners-Operators and Road Authorities community.

With multiple engagement platforms and tailored content, US IOOs and the overall road infrastructure operators community can learn more about the superior safety benefits of C-V2X technology and engage with a growing ecosystem of telecom providers, chipset makers, and auto OEMs to identify synergies, opportunities, and potential business models to accelerate and streamline deployment of this life-saving technology.

Membership will allow 5GAA, road operators community to continue the productive conversations initiated e.g. with US IOOs during the C-V2X Workshop for North American Transportation Planning and North American Road Operators in Washington D.C (April 2018), where 5GAA presented a vision for a connected future (here) or European National Road Administrations (NRAs) and road infrastructure operators during a similar C-V2X Workshop and Demonstration in Paris, France (July 2018).

ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo: 5G Automotive Connectivity – What to Expect and When

ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo: 5G Automotive Connectivity – What to Expect and When

5GAA Chief Technology Officer Maxime Flament is in Stuttgart today to present on ‘5G Automotive Connectivity: What to expect and when’ at this year’s ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo.

Taking place from 09:25-9:50, Maxime gave attendees an overview of the 5GAA roadmap ramping up toward increasingly advanced use cases in the 2030 timeframe, while also touching on the importance of the full integration of V2X technology into ADAS and automated driving systems (ADS).

Find the 5GAA 2030 Roadmap here.

Among other things, Maxime explained to attendees how:

  • Many safety and traffic V2X use cases are emerging, from simple hazard warnings to teleoperation gradually increasing levels of complexity and automation
  • The 5GAA roadmap envisions a rapid integration of V2X into ADAS and ADS
  • Automotive connectivity exploits different radio access: vehicle-to-network, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-roadside and vehicle-to-satellite
  • Recent progress has been demonstrated in accurate positioning, low-latency services using MEC, 5G-compliant satcom, pedestrian and cyclist protection, etc
  • Auto manufacturers are focussing on 5G 3GPP standards

Maxime also had the chance to meet with 5GAA members exhibiting their innovative 5G-V2X solutions at the event.

The ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo is one of the world’s biggest conferences focused on ADAS and assisted driving and is not to be missed for anyone with an interest in connectivity and connected mobility.
