5G-MOBIX: The Spain - Portugal Cross - Border Corridor, results of 5G application in shuttle vehicle use cases

Abstract

5G deployments are proving to have an impact beyond a simple technological change in mobile networks to become a technology that will affect the economy, industry and society alike in a cross-cutting manner. It is a time of significant change where connectivity will become increasingly seamless in cross-border environments and where the design of applications, which rely on low latency and high bandwidth, will become realities. In the case of the automotive sector, it will support the deployment of new autonomous mobility functionalities in the near future. This paper aims to provide an overview of the 5G network deployment and the conclusions obtained after the analysis of the results of two of the use cases carried out in the Spanish-Portuguese cross-border corridor in the framework of the 5G MOBIX Project. The advantages of 5G technology have been demonstrated through the execution of cooperative automated operation and remote driving use cases.
