Automotive Edge Computing Consortium Members KDDI, Nexar and Toyota to Present "A Smart and Connected World in the Edge Computing Era" at MWC Barcelona 2023

The Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) today announced that it will lead the Power Hour presentation, "A Smart and Connected World in the Edge Computing Era," at the GSMA's MWC 2023 at the Fira Gran Via Convention Center in Barcelona. The panel session will take place on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in Hall 7, Theatre 4.

Global deployments of connected vehicles can climb to hundreds of millions, and eventually billions, of users. Resolving network congestion simply by adding bandwidth is too expensive and impractical to scale. At the AECC MWC panel, led by GSMA Analyst Pablo Iacopino, attendees will hear from AECC member representatives from KDDI, Nexar and Toyota on ways to support the future network and computing requirements of the connected services ecosystem, and actionable steps to make a connected future a reality.

"While connected vehicle services are in everyone's near future, bringing them to life will require a much larger data transfer capacity from the vehicles to the edge and cloud than what is available today. To tap into opportunities for the connected services sector, there is a greater need for advanced technology than ever before," said AECC member and panelist Muriel Desaeger, Technical Head of Technology Planning at Toyota Motor Europe. "The automotive industry is not alone in this need ? investment in network infrastructure is essential to many industries to enable broader opportunities for all. We are excited to share our perspectives on the state of the ecosystem and how the AECC is working to make a more connected services future a reality."
