Welcome to the Era of Smart Mobility

The GSMA Smart Mobility community explores how mobile operators’ services, capabilities and business processes can enable smart mobility to deliver:

• Efficiency and sustainability: improving routes and traffic management, minimising delays and congestion, and reducing fuel/energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, emissions from transport rose 33% between 2000 and 2021 (according to the Moving World Report, 2023 Macro and Micro Trends in Mobility).
• A better customer experience: leveraging real-time information, payments, on-demand services, and overall connectivity for the full journey.
• Safety: real-time data from sensors and cameras helps to provide better traffic information and update all stakeholders about accidents, weather and road works.

Advanced Air Mobility

The GSMA is actively exploring how mobile technologies can aid the seamless integration of unmanned aerial vehicles into the airspace and achieve scalable operations. Prominent use cases include inspecting energy grids and oil/gas infrastructure and expediting the transport of critical goods. Notably, the GSMA Drone Interest Group are pioneering initiatives driving substantial advancements in this domain.
