Quick Takeaways
  • 5G Automotive Association showcased next-generation vehicle connectivity technologies across V2X, NTN, and C-V2X use cases.
  • Automakers and technology partners demonstrated real-world applications of connected vehicle solutions.
On February 5, the 5G Automotive Association presented next-generation vehicle connectivity technologies in the US, bringing together automakers, telecom operators, and technology partners. The demonstrations focused on practical deployments of advanced connectivity, showing how emerging solutions can support tolling, safety, and awareness use cases in real-world driving environments.

Vehicle connectivity technologies demonstrated in real-world conditions

The event highlighted how vehicle connectivity technologies are evolving from pilot projects to scalable deployments. Participants showcased solutions operating across live networks, emphasizing interoperability between vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and cloud platforms to enable reliable data exchange and low-latency communication.

V2X tolling using network and direct communication

  • 5G Automotive Association members demonstrated both Network V2X and Direct C-V2X tolling solutions.
  • The Network V2X approach used a multi-access edge computing and 5G-based setup integrated with tolling platforms, while the Direct C-V2X solution relied on 5.9GHz communication to enable seamless toll transactions without relying on continuous network coverage.

Non-terrestrial networks and C-V2X safety applications

Beyond terrestrial connectivity, the demonstrations underscored the role of non-terrestrial networks in extending coverage. Satellite-based NTN technologies enabled live bi-directional voice communication over Narrowband IoT, illustrating how connectivity can be maintained in remote or underserved areas where traditional networks are limited.
  • C-V2X-enabled safety and awareness solutions were also showcased, demonstrating how connected vehicles can share real-time information with infrastructure and other road users.
  • These solutions showed how drivers can receive early warnings about potential hazards, improving situational awareness and supporting safer decision-making on the road.
