5G ride on! – Phase III
Winner! 2020 Catalyst Awards: Outstanding Ecosystem Design with CurateFx
C20.0.07
Electric mobility is expanding rapidly due to the declining cost of lithium-ion battery cells and increasing investment in electric vehicle (EV) platforms. By the end of 2023, it is expected that the cost of owning an electric car will be on a par with a traditional gas-powered one, paving the way for mass-market EV adoption. Therefore, EV charging infrastructure is also growing rapidly – it has grown at a CAGR of over 30% for the last three years, and this trend is expected to continue through to 2030.
Reliable communication services between multiple systems and stakeholders are fundamental to commercially operated EV charging infrastructure.
The 5G Ride On! Catalyst harnesses 5G technology and the capabilities of autonomous networks to provide innovative business continuity services for EV charging providers. The project demonstrates both business and operational orchestration to achieve this, illustrated using a severe weather event.
Intent-based management and dynamic adaptation techniques are applied at the 5G core and edge locations. The project uses TM Forum Open APIs and an Information Framework (SID)-based TOSCA model to support the orchestration.

Phase II:
Winner! Digital Transformation World 2019: Outstanding contribution to TM Forum assets
Shortlisted: Digital Transformation World 2019: Outstanding Catalyst – innovation
This Catalyst focuses on the operational use cases required to support lifeline communications both during and after extreme weather events such as storms and flooding. Public safety relies on functional emergency services that in turn rely on CSPs providing an assured level of 5G services that enables first responders to do their job.
