SNS Telecom & IT‘s latest research report indicates that global spending on V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications technology – based on both IEEE 802.11p and C-V2X (Cellular V2X) standards – will reach US$1.2 billion (€1.07 billion) annually by the end of 2022.

As one wag put it at last year’s Mobile World Congress, “There sure are a load of mobile phones at this car show.” While drivers focused on the cars in Barcelona this year, the industry has been diving into the details of vehicle autonomy. And, as with so much at MWC19, says Jeremy Cowan, 5th Generation (5G) mobile communications is at the heart of it.   

Huawei has gained a new partner for the development of intelligent connected vehicles. The information and communications technology company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a strategic cooperation with the German automobile manufacturer Audi in Berlin.

Recently in Madrid, Huawei has presented its WEU 5G Roadshow 2018 programme. Huawei 5G demo truck comes this year with the end to end portfolio of 5G products and solutions with full range, full scenario, and all-cloud being the defining characteristics and is going to tour ten European countries over the next three months.

5G Automotive Association (5GAA), Audi AG, Ford Motor Company and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc., have jointly announced the world’s first demonstration for Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) direct communications technology operating across vehicles from different manufacturers.

You can’t have an automated car without reliable communication infrastructure and stable mobile communication connectivity. The next generation mobile communication standard is indispensable. Infineon Technologies AG contributes to introducing the 5G standard into the car and has joined the 5G Automotive Association e. V. (5GAA).

Ficosa, a global provider specialising in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of high-technology vision, safety, connectivity and efficiency systems for the automotive and mobility sectors, has become the first Spanish company to join the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA).

ZTE Corporation, an international provider of telecoms, enterprise and consumer technology for the mobile internet, has become a member of the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA). This is enabling ZTE to team up with industrial partners to further promote the smart Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
