5G Automotive Association at CES 2019: Highlighting connected mobility through 5G / The 5G Automotive Association and 47 of its members will be present at CES 2019

Las Vegas (ots) - 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.
