Initiative summary:
5G technologies offer prospects for new digital business models and rely on the additional installation of many small wireless access points. To pave the way for timely 5G rollout delivering high capacity and speeds, such small cells should be deployed in big numbers without restrictive administrative barriers. The European Electronic Communications Code calls on the Commission to define the necessary characteristics for small cells to be exempted from individual prior permits across the EU.
