Study on the introduction of 5G on the cross-border sections of the TEN-T Mediterranean and Baltic-Adriatic corridor between Italy and Slovenia
The 5G SITACOR project refers to a study on the extension of 5G technology to cross-border sections between Italy and Slovenia on the TEN-T Mediterranean and Baltic-Adriatic corridor. The project will assess the technical needs for equipping this corridor, especially the cross-border sections between the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Italy) and the Republic of Slovenia, with neutral and agnostic passive and active infrastructure intended for the development of digital services.
The study is being carried out under the auspices of the CEF (Connecting Europe Facility), specifically within the framework of the European tender CEF-DIG-2022-5GCORRIDORS, which finances growth, employment and competitiveness through infrastructure investments in key cross-border areas of the Union states.
The study covers more than 200 kilometers of the Mediterranean and Baltic-Adriatic corridor and more than 60 km of additional highways that serve as detours in case of critical events. The main routes are:
- Udine North – Palmanova (27 km)
- Latisana – Fernetti and Fernetti – Sezana (102 km)
- Fernetti – Sezana – Divača (16 Km)
- Fernetti – Koper passing through Trieste (36 km)
- Koper – Divača – Postojna (57 km)
- Villesse – Gorizia – Nova Gorica – Razdrto (62 km)
The ultimate goal of the study is to determine the parameters needed to establish an infrastructure dedicated to the development of smart digital services for territories and communities that can be used in businesses, schools, hospitals, cities and highways.
