Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover actions to contribute to the development of projects of common interest relating to the deployment of safe and secure very high capacity digital networks and 5G systems, to the increased capacity and resilience of digital backbone networks in Union territory, as well to the digitalisation of transport and energy networks.
Actions foreseen under CEF include: the deployment of and access to very high-capacity networks, including 5G systems, capable of providing Gigabit connectivity in areas where socioeconomic drivers are located; the provision of very high-quality local wireless connectivity in local communities that is free of charge and without discriminatory conditions; uninterrupted coverage with 5G systems of all major transport paths, including the trans-European transport networks; the deployment of new or significant upgrades of existing backbone networks including submarine cables, within and between Member States and between the Union and third countries; and supporting operational digital platforms directly associated to transport or energy infrastructures.
This appropriation may also be used for technical and administrative assistance for the implementation of CEF, such as preparatory, monitoring, control, audit and evaluation activities including corporate information technology systems.
