Presenters will discuss how they are working to optimize the connected vehicle services infrastructure to ensure it can manage the fast-approaching data needs – handling 1,000 times more data than it is currently designed to process. Attendees will hear from knowledgeable, industry-renowned speakers, including:

• Roberta Gamble – Frost & Sullivan Partner & Vice President (Moderator)
• Sharon Barkai – Chief Network Architect at Nexar and AECC Member (Presenter)
• Roger Berg – AECC Communications Vice Chair, Vice President of DENSO’s North American Research and Development Group (Presenter)
• Christer Boberg – AECC Secretary, Director of Ericsson Group Strategy (Presenter)

Attendees Will Learn How:

• AECC’s distributed edge computing approach is helping to overcome the big data challenges to enable the ecosystem to tap into connected vehicle services opportunities.
• AECC members are leveraging the AECC Proof-of-Concept Program to address the data transfer requirements of the growing connected vehicle services ecosystem.
• How AECC members KDDI Corporation, Nexar Inc., and Oracle Japan conducted a real-world PoC application of the AECC’s distributed edge architecture for a free parking spot detection connected services application.

About the AECC’s Proofs of Concept Program

The AECC PoC Program is dedicated to addressing the data transfer requirements of the growing connected vehicle services ecosystem. Any organization can apply to start working with the AECC on a PoC by reaching out to [e-mail]. The AECC PoC Hub showcases a range of AECC technology demonstrations, executed and utilized in real-world environments, that show how to meet the expanding data management needs of connected vehicle services. The program is led by the AECC PoC Committee, which is made up of several different players within the AECC community, including MNOs, network equipment providers, data storage equipment teams and others.
