Cross-Border Connectivity Trials
Scroll down to explore
With 5G roll-out a hot topic for 2020, the enhanced connectivity is going to mean more than just faster streaming and quicker downloads on your mobile. 5G-MOBIX will develop and test automated vehicle functionalities using 5G core technological innovations along multiple cross-border corridors and urban trial sites.
Phases
The 5G-MOBIX project comprises of 4 phases as shown below – currently we are in phase 2/3
Deployment Requirements
Deployment Requirements
Assess the 5G for CCAM requirements on the major EU transport routes, select and map suitable use cases, and perform a cost-benefit analysis.
Trials and Integration
Trials and Integration
Develop the corridors by integrating 5G technologies, carry out trials to assess the 5G capabilities for automated driving, and identify business enablers.
Deployment Strategy
Deployment Strategy
5G deployment plan for EU, inputs for regulation, interoperability, and recommendations for standardisation, new business models.
Evaluation
Evaluation
Evaluate 5G technical aspects for different stakeholders: operators, service providers, automobile manufacturers etc. And ensure the outreach of the project's impact.
A multi-skilled team from across the Catapult is working on 5G-MOBIX, comprising of individuals with 5G, CCAM, evaluation, marketing, operations, and user centred design expertise. Key technologies are being developed and tested at our 5G Centre in Westcott prior to deployment at the trial sites.
Alongside VEDECOM (France), we have been working closely to shape solutions around a particular CCAM use case and looking at how satellite connectivity can support potential issues identified with 5G connection across borders. This is being developed and tested both in Westcott (UK) and at the French site. Subsequently, it will be integrated and demonstrated at the Portugal/Spain cross border site.
Our work within 5G-MOBIX will create opportunities for the UK connectivity and automotive industry to exploit the technological innovation while carving a strategic position for UK space technology in the 5G landscape for wider exploitation.
