Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking and security, and HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency) announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to pilot 5G and AI technologies to enhance Singapore’s homeland security. HTX Chief Executive Mr. Chan Tsan and Cisco Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Networking Mr. Jonathan Davidson signed the MOU at a ceremony at Cisco’s global headquarters in San Jose, United States.

\n\n

Cisco and HTX will collaborate on projects to improve the HTX’s 5G and AI capabilities. These projects aim to empower the Home Team to address evolving threats to public safety in Singapore.
\n
\nThe collaboration will leverage Cisco’s 5G-as-a-Service solution to develop and trial different 5G proofs-of-concept to improve public safety and security in Singapore. Both parties will also jointly innovate on AI security operations. Cisco will work with HTX to build a customised Security and Network Operations (AISecOps) platform that will be hosted on-premise alongside HTX’s domain data. This will enable HTX to harness the power of generative AI and identify and address advanced cyber threats with greater effectiveness.

\n\n

HTX is the first organisation and agency from Singapore to sign a MOU under Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) programme.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. and Ettifos have successfully conducted a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 16 (Rel-16) Sidelink radio conformance test between the Ettifos SIRIUS 5G-V2X sidelink platform and Keysight’s advanced test equipment, paving the way for 5G vehicle-to-everything (5G-V2X) advancements.

\n\n

As demand for connected cars surges and autonomous driving gains momentum, the expansion of 5G for automotive use comes with specific requirements for successful implementation. Sidelink communications, a crucial feature for cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), allows vehicles to share information and other elements of the road system independent of the network. The 5G New Radio (NR) V2X specification based on the Rel-16 standard, will provide higher throughput, enhanced reliability, and lower latency, while allowing vehicles to share rich, real-time data that support autonomous and connected driving experiences.

\n\n

With the completion of the conformance test, the Keysight and Ettifos equipment have been verified to be compliant with Rel-16 standards. Now, developers have reliable tools to test advanced use cases designed for 5G-V2X. During the process, Keysight launched the first-to-market radio frequency (RF) physical layer test software apps supporting NR V2X for Keysight’s PathWave Signal Generation Desktop and X-Series RF vector signal generator. Solutions used for the conformance test include:

\n\n

Keysight MXA Signal Analyzer
Keysight MXG X-Series RF Vector Signal Generator
Keysight PathWave Signal Generation for 5G NR
Keysight NR V2X Measurement Application

\n\n

Hojun Kim, Global Chief Technology Officer, Ettifos, said: \"This radio conformance test with Keysight allowed us to confirm the quality and compliance of our 5G-V2X sidelink platform, SIRIUS. Since Keysight and we developed the implementation of 3GPP Release 16 in our respective devices independently, the successful interoperability of our devices was more meaningful. It also shows V2X stakeholders that there is equipment available and ready in the market for use in testing advanced use cases designed with 5G-V2X sidelink in mind.\"

\n\n

Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions, said: \"We see the move from basic safety, enabled by LTE-V2X, to enhanced safety and advanced use cases which rely on the performance of 5G-V2X as the critical next phase for connected vehicles. Keysight’s 5G-V2X ready, signal generator and signal analyzer platforms have the performance and features needed to provide the necessary development capability and insight our customers, such as Ettifos, need to develop products like the SIRIUS platform.\"

Nokia and SoftBank Corp are claiming to have become the first to have successfully completed tests demonstrating use of non-standalone 5G to commercially operate connected cars.

\n\n

Finnish communications technology and service provider Nokia’s ambition is to ensure that 5G technology can be fully utilised in the future connected car market, which is projected to reach more than $225bn in value by 2025.

\n\n

Nokia believes 5G will be capable of delivering the speed and capacity required to ensure vehicles can communicate and interact safely and efficiently on road networks. It regards deploying high-bandwidth and low-latency 5G networks as essential for delivering the benefits of the next generation of road vehicles, whether they are connected or fully autonomous.

\n\n

The test used equipment from Nokia’s end-to-end 5G portfolio, while Japanese operator SoftBank Corp installed non-standalone 5G networks suited to connected vehicle testing at a Honda research and development site in Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, Japan. The trial was a first step in deploying Nokia’s 3GPP Release 15-compliant using commercial-level 256QAM high-order modulation and 4x4 MIMO radio equipment network equipment.

\n\n

As part of the trials, SoftBank Corp tested four use cases, including the transmission of location information of surrounding vehicles at intersections with poor visibility, the identification and notification processes for falling objects on the road, as well as and the transmission and secondary use of high-quality 4K video and images taken from the in-vehicle cameras.

\n\n

“These trials demonstrate that 5G technology can be successfully, safely and efficiently utilised in the connected car market,” said John Harrington, head of Nokia Japan, commenting on the trial. “We look forward to further develop research in this exciting space and bring 5G-connected mobility solutions to the roads.”

\n\n

The trial comes at a time for bold predictions for the success of self-driving vehicles. According to the latest DossierPlus report from Statista, a tenth of vehicles worldwide will be self-driving by 2030 and the market volume is expected to be worth $13.7bn.

\n\n

Despite its evident bullishness for the development of the market, Statista added the caveat that market growth depends on the speed of consumer acceptance and the manufacturers’ ability to scale up production. It added that many consumers see attacks from hackers as the main barrier to autonomous vehicle adoption, with four-fifths of consumers not trusting self-driving cars to provide enough vehicle security, and more than 70% believing autonomous vehicle systems will not be safe from hackers.

\n\n

In addition, Qualcomm Technologies used the recent CES consumer electronics show as a platform for its advances in in-vehicle systems. The chip giant launched a new platform, Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, to accelerate autonomous driving, and has entered into a partnership with Sasken Technologies to extend engineering and customisation support for its automotive customer base.
