Priorities and funded actions
Objective
To start leveraging the needed private investment in order to establish a full pan-European road and railway network of 5G corridors by the end of the CEF programme (2027).
Priorities
Priority 1 – Support investments in challenging areas, where market forces alone will not deliver 5G services with the necessary quality of service, and focus on the provision of such connectivity along key European transport paths.
Priority 2 – Support investment in cross-border sections involving two or more Member States.
Among financed actions
- Deployment of passive network elements including civil works, e.g. ducts, dark fibre, 5G radio station, mast and pylons

- Deployment and installation of specific track side devices (e.g. road, rail) for connected and automated mobility use cases, such as sensors, cameras etc. for traffic monitoring purposes, including connected road-side units
- Preparatory works, including network planning
