Imagine a future where your connected car crosses from Spain to France without losing connectivity, not even for a second. Thanks to three pioneering European projects: 5G-Blueprint, 5GMED, and 5G-ROUTES, this future is already becoming reality.

The Eu-funded projects joined forces to tackle one of the biggest challenges for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM): service continuity across borders.

Traditionally, vehicles experience long interruptions, sometimes minutes, when switching between networks at borders. The joint trials carried out between Belgium–Netherlands, France–Spain, and Estonia–Latvia demonstrated that with 5G Standalone networks, MEC, and roaming innovations, interruption times can be reduced to less than 100 milliseconds.

Key achievements include:

• Teleoperation of vehicles and platooning (5G-Blueprint).
• High-speed teleoperated driving and digitalized infrastructure (5GMED).
• See-through platooning and immersive infotainment on the move (5G-ROUTES).

These results prove that 5G technology can unlock safer, more efficient, and innovative mobility solutions across Europe. Beyond technology, the projects also paved the way for new neutral host models, MEC federation, and cross-border network orchestration.

Europe is taking a decisive step towards a truly connected transport system without borders, shaping the future of logistics, travel, and smart mobility.
