Global ITS standardization (1)
European Union
Regulatory certainty
• ECC allocated 5,9 GHz frequency band to ITS
• European Commission issues 5,9 GHz spectrum decision for ITS
Technical certainty
• Harmonized Standard ETSI EN 302 571 for ITS radio equipment published
Legal certainty enables development of ITS related products
ETSI TC ITS started standardization work on
Applications requirements for vehicular communications
Common ITS network architecture
Vehicular communications such as geonetworking
Profile standards addressing PHY/MAC layers
