5G Millimetre wave wireless for V2X Transport Applications

This presentation will provide an update on work at Blu Wireless on the application 5G millimetre wave wireless for V2X wireless connectivity for road and rail transportation. A short overview of emerging V2X millimetre wave use cases, particularly from Japan, will be followed a presentation of results from ongoing projects at Blu Wireless. Firstly, the ‘Autoair’ project, one of six DCMS funded 5G Test Bed projects, aimed at 5G connected vehicle mobility applications will be described. Here a network of millimetre wave nodes has been deployed around the two mile circumference high speed bowl at the Millbrook proving ground to support high speed gigabit level track to V2X applications. Finally, the presentation will conclude with a description of how millimetre wave communications is being applied to deliver gigabit grade connectivity to trains in order to improve passenger internet-based services.
