28th 5GAA F2F Meeting Week
On October 26th and 27th, 2023, the 5G Automotive Association will meet members in Ann Arbor, Detroit Area for two days of live demonstrations taking place at the M-City Facility, University of Michigan.
The attendees can witness the demonstrations organized by 5GAA, on Thursday for the whole day and on Friday morning, showcasing some of the latest developments for 5G and C-V2X technologies. This unique experience will feature 4 live indoor and outdoor demos, demonstrating the continued innovation and delivery of cutting-edge solutions for connected and automated mobility by 5GAA members. The list of confirmed participants includes, among others, Anritsu, Bosch, Commsignia, LGE, Keysight, TMUS, Verizon, and UMTRI.
To help attendees plan their visit, 5GAA has designed a brochure containing a description of each demo. It is available here for download.
5GAA Members to Demonstrate Latest C-V2X Tech in Berlin
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host a technology demonstration event in Berlin on 24 October, showcasing the potential of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology to redefine mobility across Europe. The event will take place with 5GAA members, leaders from the automotive, telecommunications and technology sectors; it will feature over 10 indoor and outdoor demonstrations that address both critical safety and advanced applications.
C-V2X leverages cellular networks to connect vehicles with each other, infrastructure, and pedestrians, aiming to enhance safety and convenience on the roads. This technology has gained momentum globally, with favourable legislative frameworks in Europe, the U.S. and beyond, and commitment from automakers. This signifies a robust ecosystem that is ready to leverage a huge amount of already existing connected vehicles and deploying further C-V2X solutions at scale.
In countries like Germany, traffic accidents remain a significant concern, with the country alone recording 2.5 million incidents in 2023 and pedestrian safety a growing issue. It is also estimated that up to 40% of traffic in German urban centres stems from drivers searching for parking. C-V2X is positioned to address these challenges.
The Berlin demo event will build upon the 5GAA demonstrations held last year in Detroit, which revolved around vulnerable road user protection. This year, the focus will shift to showcasing similar and new use cases in a European environment, utilising existing European mobile infrastructure.
The event will be preceded by the 5GAA conference titled “Scaling Up Connected Mobility: What’s Next for Germany and Europe?” This combined event offers a unique platform for attendees to engage with industry leaders and stakeholders.

Incorporation of uncrewed ground robots in ITS
Uncrewed ground robots (UGRs), such as delivery bots and road maintenance machines, are rapidly being tested and deployed worldwide. These robots operate autonomously on roads and sidewalks, performing tasks like deliveries and road cleaning. Countries such as the U.S., Korea, and Japan are already establishing regulations to integrate UGRs safely into public spaces.
While UGRs are becoming more common, their interaction with current intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is still evolving. Most ITS standards focus on vehicles carrying people, so UGRs, which introduce new safety and visibility challenges, have not been fully addressed.
Many UGRs will connect via 4G/5G networks for fleet management, but questions remain about how autonomous or remotely controlled they will be. Integrating UGRs into C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) communication could enhance safety by improving interaction with other vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure, paving the way for safer and more efficient roads.

Maximising the benefit of future satellite communications for automotive
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.

Walkthrough of Multi-Stakeholder; Day 1 C-V2X North American Deployment Guide
The goal of this guidebook is to serve as a straightforward reference for “Day One” 5.9 GHz Channel 183 Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X ) Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-V2X deployment considerations and requirements in the North America.
This Day One guidance intends to reduce the broad array of variables and potential message sets implicit with V2X into a tightly focused cohort of profiles. These commonly understood profiles will hasten deployment timelines and ultimately ensure that vehicles and other road users can effectively communicate in a language that installed infrastructure will understand and properly process.
This walkthrough is aimed at familiarizing deployment stakeholders with the intended content and gaining valuable input to fine-tune the content. With your participation, the guidebook can be a definitive reference source for C-V2X deployment.
