LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

    The 5G Automotive Association and 47 of its members will be present at CES

2019

    The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA), the global, cross-industry

organization of companies working together on future mobility solutions, will

be at CES 2019 to discuss the future of transportation through 5G - including

the critical role of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) deployment.

    The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will be present at the Consumer

Electronic Show (CES) 2019 on January 8-11 in Las Vegas. The global stage for

innovation that has introduced breakthrough technologies over the past 50 years

will have a special focus on autonomous and smart vehicles - from safety to

policy roadmaps - and highlight the future of transportation through 5G. In

other words, topics that 5GAA helps shaping across the world thanks to its

network of over 100 members. And 47 of these leader companies of the

telecommunications and automotive industries will help spread the message at

the global stage event.

    With a roll-out planned as early as 2020, 5GAA is pushing for the Cellular

Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology - technology that helps making roads

safer while also laying the groundwork for fully automated vehicles. The

technology has also been selected as a CES 2019 Innovation Award Honoree in the

"Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology" category. Some 5GAA members,

like Qualcomm, will be driving discussions on the subject at high-level CES

panel conferences such as SAE's Connect2Car conference session on 5G/DSRC,

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. Audi, Ducati, Ford and Qualcomm with the support of other

C-V2X ecosystem players will demonstrate advanced use cases enabled by

C-V2X. Additionally, 5GAA members will highlight the achievement of significant

milestones in the commercial introduction of C-V2X products.

    When it comes to the application of the technology in the telecommunication

industry:

    - 5GAA founding member Ericsson will showcase its latest use of the C-V2X

technology, demonstrating how the mobile networks of tomorrow will enable

safety services for the connected vehicle and be used to make self-driving cars

a reality.

    - Samsung and its subsidiary HARMAN will also showcase their scalable 5G

Telematics module designed to enable wide-scale C-V2X communications. Working

alongside the broad automotive and telecom ecosystems, Savari, Inc. will

showcase its continued momentum in the development of its C-V2X real-time

direct communications technology through its RSU and software stack. As an

active member of the automotive association, Savari expects the 5G cellular

compatible solution to bring benefits for road safety, automated driving and

traffic efficiency as soon as 2020.

    - Veniam and Bosch are both showcasing their jointly developed all-in-one

central control unit for V2X data management and communication - together, the

Veniam and Bosch solution demonstrates how to move massive amounts of data to,

from and between vehicles on the road.

    - With a deep focus on the technology, Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC) will

showcase its 5G and C-V2X system and modular solutions designed to enable

eco-system partners to promptly rollout in-vehicle and infrastructure

applications.

    - Continental will be showcasing a flexible 5G hybrid platform that allows

both mobile network communication and rapid and reliable direct exchange of

data. Depending on regional requirements and customer preferences, the platform

enables C-V2X as well as Dedicated Short Range Communication. These benefits

are being realized with a first customer award for this 5G-Hybrid-V2X solution.

    As 2019 stands for the year for the connected cars ecosystem to prepare the

ground for mass roll-out of the technology in 2020, 5GAA will be driving 5G

innovation at CES as an official partner at the Allied Association corner

located in South Hall 1. 5GAA representatives, including CTO Maxime Flament,

will be available for briefings and interviews.
