The 5G-MOBIX EC project trials have been assessing the added value of 5G connectivity for connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services and functionalities in cross-border conditions. 5G-MOBIX trial sites include two Cross-Border Corridors (Greece-Turkey and Spain-Portugal) and six local Trial Sites in France, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, China and South Korea (bringing complementary insights to the cross-border issues trialled at the Corridors).

The Chinese Trial Site held a webinar on 8 July 2022 to present the outcome of their trials and results obtained. The webinar presented the China Trial Site contributions and trial results testing 5G service continuity solutions for the different user stories concerning remote driving with data ownership focus, cloud-assisted advanced driving and cloud-assisted platooning. The trials were conducted using one dedicated 5G MEC cloud server and two PLMNs for adequate vehicle-to-network connectivity and exploiting 5G features to provide lower end-to-end latency and greater bandwidth for use cases.

The webinar also included presentation of the recorded video footage of the tested solutions and a Q&A session to exhaust all questions on our experts’ work and lessons learnt.
