This will ensure 5G coverage of rural locations enabling reliable delivery of mobile services to end customers. Grant applications can be submitted until 5 June 2023.This program will help cover the entire Czech Republic with a high-quality signal and Internet connection including those where they have not been before. As part of the program we will focus on locations where there are no 4G and 5G networks and no plans to build them. We have prepared CZK 300 million for them says Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Skela.Specifically it is financial assistance focused on the construction of telecommunication masts or towers laying optical cables connecting the base station to backbone networks ensuring power supply including the possibility of using energy from photovoltaics and the installation of containers for technology.There are also areas in the Czech Republic where the availability of basic 2G voice services is worse people cannot call a doctor or ask for help so we are trying to improve the overall coverage of these services with this measure and in addition to 5G offer a comprehensive mobile communication platform adds Petr Oko Chief Director of the Digitization and Innovation Section.Base stations in selected areas must be built and operational by 31 March 2026. Details are listed on the MPOs website applicants can send inquiries to the e-mail 5g-venkov@mpo.cz.
