The goal is to ensure continuous coverage, along a substantial 328 km stretch of roadway in France and 220 km in Spain, maintaining a high-quality service to support Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services.

The project involves the construction of new radio sites in regions with inadequate or non-existent 5G coverage levels, benefiting various stakeholders, including Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), road/rail infrastructure operators, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

In a first phase, MEDCOR5G will analyse and determine the 5G coverage gaps along the cross-border Spain-France Mediterranean corridor, proposing the deployment of new passive and active equipment that will enable Spanish and French MNOs to ensure seamless 5G coverage in 700MHz and 3,5Ghz bands.

In a second phase C-V2X infrastructure will also be deployed to enable future CCAM services along the highways.

Led by Tradia Telecom in collaboration with Cellnex France, MEDCOR5G project aims to establish uninterrupted 5G coverage along the cross-border sections of the Mediterranean corridor, focusing on areas where market investment in passive/active infrastructure is lacking. The goal is to ensure continuous coverage, along a substantial 328 km stretch of roadway in France and 220 km in Spain, maintaining a high-quality service to support Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services.
