The 5G Northern European Transport Corridor (5G NETC) project, which started on May 1, 2022, and is scheduled to end on April 30, 2025, aims to improve cross-border network service continuity for already-established services while adopting 5G infrastructure in public environments to support new 5G services.

The 5G NETC project will deploy and configure dedicated 5G coverage for transport and logistics services along highways and railway corridors in the Northern European part of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and North Sea-Baltic corridors.

5G NETC will also lay a foundation for service continuity when a vehicle crosses a member state border by improving the handover for data-connection sessions from one Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to another. This handover is expected to become increasingly important to support use cases such as dedicated 5G connectivity to meet requirements for connected ambulances, remotely controlled vehicles and trains. Improved handover will be introduced at selected border crossings.

Staffan Åkesson, Telia Sweden CTO
We’re proud that the 5G Northern European Transport Corridor was selected by the European Commission as one of 39 projects to receive funding following the first Connecting Europe Facility – Digital program calls to help drive adoption of 5G and support the development of smarter and more sustainable transport systems. Together with Telia Finland and LMT, we will work to enable Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) application and service development and Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) use-case solutions for a more user-centric and inclusive mobility system.

Jari Collin, Telia Finland CTO
Together with Telia Sweden and LMT, we will enable full-scale use of the first versions of CCAM) services in public environments, thereby creating a more user-centric and inclusive mobility system and increasing road safety while reducing congestion and environmental damage.
