Consortium

CETIN Bulgaria is the driving force of 5G Balkans – from the overall project coordination within the next 3 years – through the improvement of the respective backbone network and availability of the needed active equipment (DWDM, routers) to the communication of every important aspect of the project.

CETIN Serbia has the task of connecting the two mobile stations to the existing fiber optic route, which covers .

The Technical University of Sofia in line with its academic practices will conduct the relevant surveys and analysis of the optical backbone and 5G networks following the establishment of connection between the sites and the new fiber optic route, thus presenting the quality guarantee of the activities

Yettel Bulgaria and Yettel Serbia support the project and will be conducting the needed 5G tests and the adjustment of the relevant roaming agreements

The Project is viewed as an enabler for unfolding the potential of connected and automated mobility (CAM), including safety, and non-safety services, other intelligent transport systems and in this way real Internet of Things (IoT), incl. Intelligent (“Smart”) Cars.

Furthermore, the project foresees the need to prepare for providing edge computing as it will be the biggest challenge in the future ensuring efficient processes in delivering CAM service data transfer and speed, security, and reliability.

The main goal of the project is to enhance and create the necessary backbone infrastructure compliant with the requirements of autonomous vehicles along route Sofia – Dimitrovgrad (Serbia) (part of the transport corridor “Orient/East-Med”, Belgrade-Sofia-Thessaloniki).
