Summary sheet
- Telecom - Information and communication
The project relates to the expansion in capacity of the promoter's 4G mobile broadband network and the initial deployment of a 5G network, in order to cope with the expected growth of data traffic and demand for higher data rates. It covers investments in the radio, access network, transmission, core network and IT systems. The project also includes improvements of the promoter's cybersecurity capabilities.
The project will result in increasing the capacity, and therefore the speed and quality of service, of the promoter's mobile network in the country.
The installation of mobile telecommunication networks do not fall under Annexes I and II of the Directive 2014/52/EU amending the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU, and are therefore not subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. There is no particular negative residual environmental impact expected.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector not having the status of a contracting authority, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
