5GAA 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for Connected Mobility

On January 8, the 5GAA 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda was formally welcomed by the 5G Automotive Association, marking a major step in the deployment of 5G-enabled connected and automated mobility on European roads. The agenda defines how next-generation connectivity will be rolled out to support intelligent, data-driven transport systems.
The framework serves as a practical guide for all stakeholders involved in building and using 5G for connected and automated mobility on roads, helping to create a harmonized, reliable, and future-ready digital transport backbone across Europe.
H2: What the 5GAA 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda Covers
The 5GAA 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda brings together a broad and highly interconnected ecosystem that plays a central role in building 5G-enabled mobility services, including:

• Mobile network operators

• Tower and infrastructure companies

• Telecommunications equipment providers

• Road infrastructure operators

• Vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers

By aligning these participants under a single roadmap, the agenda supports faster, more coordinated deployment of advanced connectivity across transport corridors.
H3: 5G Corridors Across Europe’s Transport Network
A core element of the agenda is the rollout of 5G connectivity along Europe’s main road transport routes, commonly referred to as 5G corridors. These corridors are mapped along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), ensuring that cross-border mobility benefits from seamless, uninterrupted 5G coverage.
This approach enables vehicles, infrastructure, and digital services to communicate in real time, even when moving between different national networks.
H2: Service Categories Enabled by the 5GAA 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda
The deployment strategy is built around six key service categories that will shape the future of road transport:

• Road-based connected and automated mobility services

• Logistics and freight digitalization

• Digital twin platforms for infrastructure and vehicles

• Connected passenger and in-vehicle services

• Software-defined vehicle capabilities

• Associated vertical and cross-industry services

These service layers are designed to work together, creating an integrated ecosystem that supports both operational efficiency and enhanced user experience.
H3: Investment and Cooperation Models
The agenda also provides structured guidance on:

• Investment priorities for 5G infrastructure

• Cooperation models between telecom and automotive players

• Phased deployment roadmaps for sustainable rollout

Approved by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking Governing Board, the agenda directly supports its mission to establish Europe as a global leader in next-generation digital and mobility technologies while enabling scalable, future-proof connected road transport.
