Shared 5G infrastructure is to be deployed for smart vehicle and traffic communications, plus for rural connectivity, in cross-border areas between the Czech Republic and Poland. The project is funded by the European Union (EU) as part of its Connecting Europe Facility for digital projects (CEF Digital), running from 2021 to 2027. The award, worth a little over €2 million, is being managed by tower company Towerlink Poland, part of Spanish firm Cellnex, and wholesale network operator CETIN AS (Česká Telekomunikační Infrastruktura), part of Czech investment group PPF.
