Avanci Launches 5G Connected Vehicle Licensing Program
Avanci, the independent global leader in
joint licensing solutions, today announced the launch of its 5G Connected
Vehicle program that will simplify the licensing of the cellular technologies
used in next generation connected vehicles.
Kasim Alfalahi, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Avanci, said: “Avanci was
created with a vision of transforming how technology is shared. We ensure that
the work of thousands of inventors around the world is recognized and rewarded.
At the same time, by simplifying technology access, we enable companies to
build exciting new products that are improving the lives of people across the
globe, every day.”
The Avanci 5G Vehicle program covers patented technologies essential for
5G, 4G, 3G and 2G connectivity, including cellular vehicle-to-everything
(C-V2X) which enables vehicles to directly communicate with other vehicles,
cyclists, pedestrians, and transportation infrastructure.
Laurie Fitzgerald, Senior Vice President at Avanci, said: “The
launch of our 5G Connected Vehicle program is an important milestone for
Avanci, as we can now provide automakers with the efficient option of a single
agreement, covering patented cellular technologies from dozens of organizations
worldwide, to support the roll-out of 5G in connected vehicles. We appreciate
the confidence and trust of all the partners who worked with us to create this
new program and we are proud to make it a reality.”
This new Avanci program builds on the success of Avanci 4G Vehicle,
which today has more than 130 million connected vehicles on the world’s roads
from more than 80 automotive brands covered by an Avanci 4G Vehicle license.
Roger Lanctot, Director, Automotive Connected Mobility at TechInsights said, “The
transition from 4G technology to 5G will be unlike any prior wireless
changeover. For the first time, automakers are facing an industry
transformation touching all aspects of vehicle development and sales, and car
ownership. With 25 global automakers committed to deployment, prospects are
bright for 5G to transform vehicle connectivity. TechInsights forecasts that
the share of 5G connected vehicles will grow to over 50% of new vehicle
production in 5 years’ time.”
Avanci launches this new program with a license that covers thousands of
patented technologies essential for implementing cellular connectivity. Details
