Summary sheet
The project concerns the initial 5G rollout, the strengthening of rural mobile 4G coverage and the 4G capacity increase. The project will result in a higher 5G population coverage and an increase to 99% for 4G in Germany. The project implementation is planned for the years 2020 to 2021.
The project supports the development of the promoter's mobile infrastructure to provide advanced 4G and 5G based services.
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 EIA. The residual environmental impact will be limited after appropriate mitigation measures.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting authority. Therefore it is not covered by EU Directives on public procurement.
