Regulatory News:
Ericsson, Orange and PSA Group (Paris:UG) have signed a
partnership agreement to conduct 5G technology pilot for automotive
applications. “Towards 5G” connected car partnership aims to
leverage 4G to 5G technology evolution to address connected vehicle
requirements such as intelligent transport system (ITS) to improve
road safety, new automotive and in-car services.
The partnership is technically focused on Vehicle-to-Vehicle
(V2V) and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) architecture and real-time
performances for the deployment of ITS and connected services in
vehicles. Initial tests use end-to-end architecture system with LTE
technology and will evolve to LTE-V and 5G technology.
First use cases on Cooperative ITS have been defined and are
currently tested on the field test track such as “see through”
between two connected vehicles on a road and connected emergency
vehicle aiming at notifying in real-time emergency vehicle
approach.
Other deliverables will be produced during 2017 in the framework
of this research initiative.
“Towards 5G” connected car initiative is an important
opportunity for the three partners to combine their expertise in
connected vehicles to meet the challenges of new mobility services
and of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Ericsson provides the radio and a distributed virtualized core
network to enable network slicing capabilities and intelligent
geo-messaging service.
Orange provides the cellular network with the associated
spectrum on the field trial site and the on-board connectivity
integrating vehicular use cases.
PSA Group is in charge of automotive use case requirement
definition, embedded architecture integration, user experience and
technical validation.
As a result of their collaboration, the partners will develop a
comprehensive experience of the requirements for a 5G
infrastructure that fits to the needs of the connected vehicles
industry. They will also identify the full potential of innovative
services and use cases for the benefit of improving road safety and
for better quality of services to end users.
"Connected IoT services are a crucial way to enhance the user
experience for our customers, who today demand unprecedented levels
of comfort and convenience as well as personalised services in
their vehicles," said Carla Gohin, Research, Innovation and
Advanced Technologies VP, PSA Group.
"Connected vehicles are part of our IoT strategic vision along
with home, smart cities, e-health and Industry 4.0. Vehicle
manufacturers expect us to provide the connectivity they need for
remote maintenance management, for example, or to keep on-board
systems software permanently up-to-date. By teaming with Ericsson
and PSA Group, we are combining our capabilities to drive 5G
development for innovative services with the perspective of the
availability of 5G by 2020," said Mari-Noëlle Jégo-Laveissière,
Executive Vice President, Innovation, Marketing and Technologies,
Orange.
“5G technology will play a key role in
the transport system of tomorrow. Ericsson is bringing
Networks, IT and specific innovative solutions to the automotive
industry. Along with key players like PSA and Orange, we will
ensure the required levels of safety and security as well
as contributing to a more sustainable and smart society," said
Charlotta Sund, Vice President and Head of Customer Group
Industry & Society, Ericsson.
