Meet Our Members – Interview with Menno Malta, Monotch CEO

Meet Our Members – Interview with Menno Malta, Monotch CEO

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) thrives on the collective expertise and collaborative spirit of its members. Over 110 organisations strong, our membership represents a global network of market leaders and innovators shaping the future of connected mobility.

We are kicking off a new series, “Meet Our Members,” to delve deeper into the stories of the individuals who make up the backbone of 5GAA. First up, we will be featuring Menno Malta, CEO of Monotch, who has been actively involved in one of 5GAA’s most recent and exciting areas of work – Vehicle-to-Network-to-Everything (V2N2X) communication.

This interview series will showcase a diverse range of profiles, highlighting their contributions, challenges, and predictions for the exciting world of 5G-connected transportation. Get ready to be inspired by the passion and ingenuity of our members as we meet the people who make 5GAA.

Menno, you are the CEO of Monotch, a 5GAA member company. How does Monotch’s work relate to 5GAA’s, and what keeps you engaged with our association?

Monotch operates at the forefront of the V2N2X market. Our proven TLEX platform is used by cities and road authorities all over the world to connect mobility and digital infrastructure bringing substantial societal benefits and increased cost-effectiveness.

The initial interest that drew us to 5GAA was the opportunity to engage with OEMs, mobile network operators, and related industries. This is still of interest! We really appreciate the possibilities to discuss developments and work jointly on progressing the market. The networking opportunities are also great for us.

Monotch is based in the Netherlands. Last year, your views were instrumental in the organisation of 5GAA’s workshop in the Hague, where we looked at C-V2X deployment in the Low Countries. Two years later, what is the state of play for C-V2X and connected mobility in the Netherlands, and how do you see it unfolding?

In the Netherlands, we see a steady growth of smart and connected roadside infrastructure as well as new use cases such as emergency vehicle warnings that are now available on a large scale. This leads to more connected parties, including the first vehicle OEMs. On top of this, there is a push on urban challenges and use cases, which will lead to even more data and impact in the next few years. The Netherlands is truly a lighthouse deployment, and authorities from other countries come here often to see what’s happening and how they can apply learnings in their own jurisdiction.

One of 5GAA’s recent areas of work has been vehicle-to-network-to-everything (V2N2X) communications, and you’ve been one of its main contributors. What is V2N2X, what makes this such an important topic, and what are some of the biggest hurdles to overcome in achieving its widespread adoption?

V2N2X is a subset of overall V2X, where the cellular network and cloud components are used to realise connected mobility. It allows the ecosystem to get to scale with many use cases in a relatively short term, as it leverages existing technology such as apps, onboard units and, of course, the 4G/5G network! I think it’s hugely important for 5GAA as it shows the value of a connected ecosystem to the main stakeholders and can kickstart overall C-V2X deployment.

The V2N2X work item has been concluded with the publication of a white paper, ‘Road Traffic Operation in a Digital Age,’ and two associated reports. What is the objective of these publications, and how do they complement each other?

The white paper can be seen as a summary of the Technical V2N2X Architecture report. It’s a great read for everyone involved in this market, whether you’re an authority or a private sector executive. The Technical V2N2X Architecture report offers detailed insights into the blueprint architecture, and I recommend it to subject matter experts.

The other technical report is of a different nature. It describes the V2N2X market from a business perspective—for example, the market size, the kinds of business models we see, and which factors drive the market. It also contains descriptions of large-scale example deployments, taking away whatever doubts people might have about the feasibility of V2N2X..

The upcoming online session on 18 June will present the findings of these publications. What are you most excited about sharing with the audience?

So much to share! I can promise the session will be packed with insights, but I’m probably most excited to share the OEM and IOO (Infrastructure Owner and Operator) customer profiles we created. It’s about their goals, pains and gains, and for this, we did a survey and an  analysis of large-scale deployments. I’m so excited about it because it really ties to the why of our work.

Predictive QoS – using 5G network data analytics to enable proactive C-V2X adaptation

Predictive QoS – using 5G network data analytics to enable proactive C-V2X adaptation

5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has developed the concept of predictive Quality of Service (QoS), which is a mechanism enabling mobile networks to provide early notifications about predicted QoS changes to interested consumers, such as the V2X application in the vehicle. This makes it possible for the application to adjust its behaviour before the predicted QoS change takes effect, which is important to certain automotive use cases, such as remote and autonomous driving.

The concept of predictive QoS is spreading in the industry and among standards developing organizations (SDO). It is, therefore, of interest to achieve a common understanding of what predictive QoS is – what problems it addresses, as well as how they are addressed.

5GAA and partners discuss C-V2X mass-market deployment in The Hague

5GAA and partners discuss C-V2X mass-market deployment in The Hague

On February 9, to conclude its first meeting week of 2023, the 5G Automotive Association held a workshop on “C-V2X Mass Market Deployment in Real-Life Traffic”. Over two sessions, speakers examined connected mobility for road management in The Netherlands and Flanders and the benefits of connected mobility services for end-users.   

Continuing a tradition established last year in Atlanta (US) and Málaga (Spain), the 5G Automotive Association capped off its meeting week in The Hague —the first of four to be held in 2023 — with a workshop for members and guests.  

The workshop, which took place on the morning of February 9 at the Marriott Hotel in the Dutch capital, gathered delegates and partners for two different sessions featuring representatives from member organisations, public stakeholders, and road operators. 5GAA Director General Johannes Springer was responsible for welcoming attendees, while Vice Chair Uwe Puetzschler delivered the closing speech with an outlook of what is coming for 5G-V2X.  

During the first session, participants got an overview of the Netherlands’ and Flanders’ Connected Mobility Roadmaps from Wim Vandenberghe, Senior Advisor for ITS and CCAM at the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and Erika Decorte, Program Manager at the Flanders Authority for Roads and Traffic. Menno Malta, CEO of Monotch, wrapped up the session by delving into the C-ITS ecosystem deployment and architecture.  

The second session, on the other hand, explored how end-users are leveraging connecting mobility services. René Spaan, Project Leader for Smart Mobility in the City of Helmond (Netherlands, presented use cases in urban settings. Participants also got to learn more about C-V2X services for emergency vehicles thanks to Gerard Berendschot, Manager of Quality and Policy at the Netherlands’ Ambulance Care. Finally, 5GAA delegate Andreas Schaller, Head of V2X Technology at Bosch, introduced the audience to the wrong-way driving application.  

After the workshop, the 5GAA Board hosted a close-door roundtable with nine road operators, who received a presentation about the association’s new C-V2X roadmap and engaged in some interactive discussions to dive into their priorities, needs, and expectations. This roundtable followed on 5GAA’s recent release of its “Conclusions and Recommendations for Communications Service Providers Supporting Road Operator Priorities and Expectations”, available here, and a technical report on “Road Operator Use Case Modelling and Analysis.”
