Ericsson, Orange and PSA Group have signed a partnership agreement to conduct 5G technology pilot for automotive applications. 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 architecture system with LTE technology and will evolve to LTE-V and 5G technology. Other deliverables will be produced during 2017 in the framework of this research initiative. 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.
