The 5G Catalonia project, launched in 2020 and led by Cellnex and the MASMOVIL Group, has been recognised at the Mobile World Congress with the prestigious GSMA Foundry Excellence Award 2023.

Both companies lead a consortium that includes Atos, Lenovo, nae, Nearby Computing, Parlem Telecom and Aumenta Solutions, and aims to deploy 5G technology-based solutions throughout the Barcelona area to effect the digital transformation of the city and its metropolitan area for the benefit of citizens, public administrations and the private sector. The prize will be awarded at the GSMA stand in the Mobile World Congress 2023.

Since it was set up, the consortium has created seven use cases that have proven the usefulness of this new technology.

The 5G Catalonia project aims to develop innovative 5G-based solutions in sectors like education, industry and mobility that benefit citizens, public administrations and the private sector.
