TE Connectivity’s (TE) HIRSCHMANN MOBILITY brand has been one of the world’s leading specialists in transmitter and receiver technology for mobile communications for more than 90 years.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will again join the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (MWC), the largest and most influential yearly event in the field of connectivity, taking place between February 27 and March 2. This event will gather tens of thousands of high-level executives coming from the most relevant global tech companies in the world, representatives from international governments and members of emerging business that are revolutionising the connectivity scene worldwide.  

This year’s edition will approach some of the hottest topics in the technological horizon, putting its focus on the subjects surrounding the furthest developments of 5G, 6G and immersive technology.  Having amassed more than 60,000 attendees last year, MWC expects to surpass these numbers with the selected topics for the 2023 edition.  

5GAA plans not only to attend the MWC with the objective to discuss the innovations taking place in the field of cellular-based connectivity, but also to actively participate in the Congress by welcoming visitors and partners at our booth and hosting a Press Tour that will allow attendees to get a better idea of our members’ advancements in C-V2X technologies. 

• 5GAA BOOTH AT THE SHOW FLOOR 

The 5GAA booth will allow for attendees to learn more about our association works and activities, as well as benefits for members. This booth will be located in Hall 2C55 and  remain active all throughout the duration of the congress, from Monday, February 27, to Thursday, March 2.  

• 5GAA’S PRESS TOUR 

On February 27 from 8:45 to 10:00 AM (CET), 5GAA will host its Press Tour. Starting in our booth at the show floor, this tour will be the perfect opportunity for  journalists to explore our members’ booths and find out more about their market innovations and developments. The tour includes scheduled visits to Qualcomm, Vodafone, Ericson and Rhode & Schwarz, amongst other of our association members. This Press Tour will also grant participants the chance to ask our members’ representatives any questions they may have.

5G Techritory is the annual Baltic Sea Region 5G Ecosystem Forum organised by the Electronic Communications Office (ECO) of Latvia, aiming at gathering decision makers, major representatives from industry associations, and business leaders to discuss the deployment of the earliest available commercial applications of 5G technology. Its second edition is going to be held in the Latvian capital, Riga, on 27-29 November.

Taking place in a vibrant region for 5G implementation, the 5G Automotive Association is proud to be confirmed once again as one of the main partners of this conference. 5GAA Director General Johannes Springer is going to participate as a speaker in front of an audience of up to a thousand senior professionals invited upon an attentive selection to ensure the highest quality of debate.

Flex Ltd. operates as an electronics manufacturing services company. The Company designs and develops original design manufacturing (ODM) products for aerospace and defense, energy, industrial, communication industries, and other sectors.

The BRIDGE cross-Working Group work item (XWI) was established under the 5GAA ‘Digital Roads’ priority area. The concept of digital roads includes many elements, but BRIDGE addresses the business priorities of the Road Operators (RO) and how Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and Vehicle to Everything (V2X) services, provided by Communications Service Providers (CSP), can support them directly. 

The BRIDGE work item obtained high-level guidance on the expectations and priorities of Road Operators. The Road Operator representatives that participated offered their views on the importance or priority of the business areas to their organisation and indicated which individual use cases were of interest. After a number of individual discussions, the BRIDGE team compiled a summary of the results, which are presented in this report.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has the pleasure to announce its Conference on 6 February in Brussels.

This event is intended to advance the dialogue between high-level institutional and industry stakeholders on current challenges in the field of connected and automated mobility. Representatives from the European institutions, local and national authorities, and 5GAA members will discuss ongoing challenges for connected and automated mobility and provide solutions by presenting the capabilities and deployment models of the Cellular Vehicle to Everything (“C-V2X”) technology.

Honda delivers to customers over 6 million power products annually, spanning its general-purpose engines, and products powered by them, including tillers, generators, snow blowers to lawn mowers, pumps and outboard engines.

The 5GAA work item BRIDGE aims to determine how Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can support the C-ITS/V2X expectation of Road Operators in the near future to encourage and accelerate the deployment of C-ITS use cases on the road.

Following on from a series of discussions with European Road Operator strategists, a set of four exemplary C-ITS use cases was identified with a view to understanding what might be required from CSPs to achieve the above-mentioned objective. Additionally, a set of possible network requirements were defined and short-listed. Modelling showed that all of the use cases can be delivered on existing mobile networks today, assuming network coverage is sufficient for Road Operator requirements.

The present report contains the third volume (Volume III) of 5GAA WG1 agreed use case (UC) descriptions for Use Cases developed within the 5GAA and consolidated in WG1. The results and conclusions of this report, and of the future use case descriptions and related communication requirements, are intended to serve as input for the work of other WGs in 5GAA, as well as sources for input and feedback to standardization activities, e.g., in 3GPP.
